@pezus. Melee, Prime (relatively speaking), Mario Sunshine (relatively speaking, sold 120k less than Halo:CE), Rogue Leader, Rogue Squadron III, REmake, RE:0, RE4, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Wind Waker, twilight princess, tales of symphonia, Soul Calibur II, Star Fox Adventures, Final Fantasy: CC, Metroid Prime 2, DK: Jungle Beat, Need for Speed Underground 2, Naruto Clash of Ninja 2, Starfox Assault, and many more.

In reverse, how many non-core games sold on the cube? Then we'll compare SW totals.

WRONG, wrong, wrong! Your poll is wrong, your thread title is wrong. Replace the word Marketing with advertising.

Marketing is not Advertising. If you say marketing, you're saying Nintendo shouldnt make more metroid's.

As for the thread topic (without the word marketing), i agree. But i think Nintendo does it so it doesnt incur damage on their family friendly brand. Nintendo's marketing is actually really good and the Wii, for example was proof of that.

1)  Refer to item 8 of this thread.

2) I meant marketing. And by marketing, I mean Nintendo should properly target the Halo audience in the way it markets metroid, be it by advertising or anything else.

3) Just be quiet.

4) Your last sentece luckily cancels out the abnoxiousness of the rest of your post. In reply, I was not talking about the market Nintendo was successful to reach (casual/non-gamer), I was talking about the market they failed to reach (the PS360 crowd). Read the WRONG OP better next time.

You specifically mentioned advertisement. You're just trying to spin your argument. Nintendo cant possibly target Halo fans as they are Xbox fans, wich by definition dont purchase Nintendo consoles (bar ocasional exceptions). You dont know how marketing works, apologies if it seems like i overeacted, but you're just giving excuse for more ignorance on the concepts and that really is annoying.

And if your case is what you're saying in this post, your thread title and poll are still wrong.

Nintendo does not suck at marketing their more mature titles, they still see decent sales and get praise for the games. They might suck at advertising them, wich was the fair point you made on your original post.

 

As for the personal attacks /golfclap.
