I'm a little skeptical to think that a new Zelda, SMG2 or Wii Vitality would help hardware sales very much. Just like a new Halo game on the X360 right now would barely move any hardware because everyone that wants to play Halo already owns a X360 (just look at Halo ODST and Wars). So that eliminates the new Zelda and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Now Wii Vitality, that's the tricky one it very well could end up like another Wii Music though. I'm sorry but I don't really see anything that exciting about knowing your pulse? Maybe it does other things as well but is it really a system seller, will people that don't own a Wii think hmm I want to buy a Wii to be able to use Wii Vitality, I don't really think so. I think it'll take the same fate as Zelda and SMG2, it'll sell a lot but won't move much hardware.

You all made the same arguement with New Super Mario Bros. Wii... saying it wouldn't move hardware because Mario fans already had a Wii because of Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, Super Paper Mario, and every other Mario spinoff game on Wii.


Look how that turned out.

Who thought that, obviously it was going to sell like hot cakes and it's a new different Mario game for the Wii, unlike Zelda and SMG2, which will be sequels. NSMB did wonders for the DS so obviously it was going to make just as much of an impact on the Wii. I'm not saying Zelda or SMG2 are not going to sell, both will sell extremely well, but it's not so much of a hardware pusher. Why would someone buy a Wii for those games when they can already buy a Wii now and get SMG1 and Zelda Twilight Princess right now?
