@Euphoria  I was thinking about going there but im glad you did. Hope you realized you opened pandora's box


I only told the truth.

If what the OP assumes is the truth actually is, well, then the N64 and Gamecube would have been resounding commercial successes due to those franchises that EVERYONE wants, but unfortunately the past has shown that that is not the case.

If the Wii released and followed the same path as the GC and N64, focusing primarily on those franchises only, the Wii would not be where it is today, and they can not refute that what so ever.


If you read the whole OP, you would know I was just posting an article. Jim Sterling of Destructoid wrote that, not me.

BTW, Mario is one of the reasons for the Wii's success, just the 2D Mario game (got sales up holidays last year), not the Galaxy games.

My apologies the, but from what I read it seemed like the part I quoted was what you added in yourself.

As for the underlined sentence, that is irrelevant since the Wii was already a resounding success before SMBWii was even 2 years before release. It was a success long before SMBWii was even announced, so 2D Mario had zero to do with why people flocked to the Wii.


Did you miss the "got sales up holidays last year" part? That means people did flock to it when the Wii was having a downturn. Just because it wasn't the initial sales catalyst does not mean it isn't a selling point.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
