| Bamboleo said: Not as a launch title... Mario Kart DS is still going good, last week it ranked in the 31st spot worldwide with ~32K units. I think theyve reached profit after selling 20 million copies. Launching 3DS with a Mario Kart would be killing profit. It would actually be perfectly suited as a DS conversion title, a trippy/cool 3D visual experience for core gamers and a well known brand to introduce the new console. It sounds most likely like a late summer release perhaps? Within a year, sales of Mario Kart DS may be out of the top100 maybe. |
I think there is a better chance of MK than any other game (maybe Animal Crossing due its 3d scroll effect in the Wii version).
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
