I don't exactly understand why people count pikmin as a main Nintendo franchise...

...but to your OP specifically: as small as metroid is it still has five games that have outsold the pikmin's top seller.

i don't see pikmin finding a popularity surge due to the wii U.


It's because it's a Miyamoto game, and one of the only fairly large new  Nintendo games from the last 10 or so years to spawn a sequel.


that's what, your explination for why pikmin will suddenly surge in popularity on the wiiU?


No, I think it will do better then previous Pikmin due to pre Wii U launch hype making it a  focus of the system to the fan boys, and also due to nothing else notable for the system coming out for a while.

I was answering your question:  why people seem to count it as a main Nintendo franchise, when it's always been a niche title.

oh, okay.  i wasn't sure before.
