| c0rd said: Meh, this price cut vs NSMB debate is endless. The data we have is sorta inconclusive (in everywhere but Japan, where it's undeniable NSMB had a bigger impact), so neither side is going to back down, it's useless. I will say I'm on the NSMB side of the fence, though, so I'm with Demotruk, hoping the Wii doesn't get a price cut, but still manages numbers close to 2009 on the account of (what is hopefully) strong software. Uh, go Donkey Kong! |
Inconclusive? In the US, sales of the Wii are the highest they ever where in one month and the most a console has ever done. Not to mention that the price cut was two months before and Wii sales didn't improve until the last week of November when NSMBWii was released.
There is no argument. The events speak for themselves and anyone with any understanding of logic can put 2 and 2 together and see Mario was the result, esspecially when we consider how much the games helped in the past (Super Mario Bros sold the NES).
People are trying to cling to either that price cuts matter or that Mario is not importaint.
