Did you really just mix physics with buisness analytics?

Did you really just miss the point of such an obvious metaphor?

Defending such a metaphor shows you really don't understand buiness or how to analyse it. Sorry, that's the truth. Only on the internet will people argue a point when the have  no experience in the topic at hand.

You not grasping that Brawl and NSMBW were massive system sellers shows you don't understand the video game industry.

A whole 1 million units of the most popular console. That is all the systems that can be attributes directly to Brawl. Stop making shit up and start looking at actual figures. This thread has just become you guys repeating the same claim with not a single shred of evidence behind you.

"SSB is a system seller!" Well please, prove it with something called evidence, y'know, facts & figures.

The evidence, the facts and figures, is in Wii hardware sales before and after SSB. And the role SSB has played within the Nintendo fanbase for the last 12 years. The latter is key; you cannot understand the business side without understanding the underlying social mechanics.

But you don't understand that, you look at a weekly bump and fail to comprehend that the real bump was the countless consoles bought BEFORE SSB on the promise of it, and AFTER through word of mouth and people playing at friend's houses then going on to buy it themselves. If you knew how the market worked, you'd know week of release week bumps are an inaccurate way of measuring  how much of a system seller something is, they're merely the tip of an iceberg.
