Now that this is done, I want to say something about the last rule (something serious). Nintendo isn't in a different world and their games don't automatically sell because they are Nintendo games. If their games are second rate and/or not what people expected, customers will notice it and respond negatively. The proof for that are Animal Crossing and Wii Music which are in no way, shape and form up to the quality of the likes of Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wii Sports Resort and Mario Kart Wii. And it's not just that these two games themselves underperformed, they damaged the reputation and momentum of the Wii itself. The lesson learned is that success should never be taken for granted and even Nintendo isn't immune to that, although it seemed like they believed they are (considering what happened in the last twelve months). |
This last paragraph seems contradictory to me.
According to VGChartz data Animal Crossing: City Folk sold 3.37 million, Wii Music 2.66 million copies.
If - according to you - these two games lack quality compared to other Nintendo games and damaged the reputation of the Wii, but at the same time sold million copies, aren't these two games according to your logic the proof that Nintendo games sell automatically because they are Nintendo games?
