| trestres said: @Kenryoku_Maxis: Mario and Sonic, seriously? Plus MPTrilogy wasn't advertised at all. Even then it was a compilation of older games, a thing most core gamers won't be interested in, even less when one of them was released less than 2 years ago. Remember when Nintendo of UK said they wanted Punch Out to debut at Nº1 in the top 40 chart, then when it released it didn't even appear on the top 40? They barely advertised and aimed at the wrong audience with the ads. They have themselves to blame, not the people or the 3rd parties. |
I told you that you would think those examples weren't 'core' enough.
And like someone already said, just because a game doesn't 'debut' well doesn't mean it isn't selling well. Punch Out is already at 650,00 copies sold, with 100,000 of that in Europe. Many 'core' Wii games aren't even selling 100,000 units TOTAL. And it was advertised a lot here in America (its target audiance). If it wasn't advertised well in Europe, that's too bad. But hey, there's a number of games that Europe has gotten advertised I thought we should have. Nintendo is like any company, and they put their marketing where they think it should go.
And MPTrilogy was advertised, both on American TV and a TON online. Nintendo threw their marketing directly at the core with MPTrilogy.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
