Whoa. The FUD against this game is picking up.
The ridiculousness of the idea that it's a port, which was obviously not true as soon as the Koopa Kids showed up in E3 demo videos. Like, the day it was announced.
And calling it a "spin-off"! Wow! Unless you are 8 years old, and just don't know any better... then... Wow!
So I would guess that yes, this is a hardware seller. You don't hear FUD this hilarious from folks who aren't worried.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
