With the low sales of GameCube per capita Pikmin would be one of Nintendo's best selling franchises. No Pikmin is no Mario or Zelda but none the less it is one of Nintendo's bigger franchises. We know based on the few facts availible that the new Pikmin is in the works by a smaller subdivision of EAD Tokyo. Nintendo probubly isn't dedicating the same amount of resources to Pikmin as they do other big franchises. This means a smaller team and smaller budget. I think Nintendo will keep Pikmin around even if Pikmin 3 doesn't ship more then a million copies. Will it see two releases on the Wii like it did on GameCube? Probubly not but Pikmin is yet another of Miyamoto's brain children and as such won't get left out! Plus I suspect Pikmin 3 will probubly reach 2-3 million copies sold. I'm sure thats why they re-released Pikmin to test the waters prior to releasing Pikmin3! |
Back the fun bus the fuck up.
The Gamecube had a bad attach rate?
GCN software sales - 205.56 Million
GCN hardware sales - 21.74 Million
Attach Rate - 9.59 games/console, approx. 9 games
