| pokoko said: I admit I'm biased, 2D Mario games are like the least interesting things in gaming to me, so part of that was me thinking about what games I would buy if I picked up a Wii U at launch. Mario wouldn't even be in that picture. Still, will people rush out to buy yet another Mario game? Didn't one just come out? I still think a lot of people are going to wait until the library builds. |
That's worse than anecdotal evidence, :P. You're basically extrapolating upon your personal preference. Now, I personally don't find any of the PS2's games interesting or worth buying the console for, but that doesn't mean that there aren't ~160m people who disagree. We have to work with what we know people like, not what we like.
Also, there's no real evidence for a Mario game having been released recently negatively affecting this new one's sales. In fact - and this is what happened all the time on Wii and DS with NSMB, Mario Kart, etc. - people who buy the 3DS version may end up wanting the WiiU game, looking for more Mario.
