It didn't harm the console, but the fact that Iwata etc thought the game would sell hardware and be the big Christmas release with Animal Crossing showed they didn't understand why Wii or Wii Sports/Fit were really selling. It wasn't the aesthetic and use of new hardware. So it showed Nintendo's direction was actually wrong and the following three years proved that. |
If I remember correctly, only NSMB Wii one year later made the Wii a sales monster again, then in 2010 a bunch of games that weren´t really system sellers (Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment, Metroid Other M)....is Donkey Kong Country Returns considered a system seller?
