Not to get into this spin cycle again, but really? FABLE (3 million) a stronger exclusive than Melee (7 million) Double Dash (7 million) and Sunshine? (5.5 million)
Halo sold the Xbox, it didn't have any other big movers.

This is actually a very good point. If the Nintendo core fans only allows a console to sell like the GC with software sales as those and for example Zelda WW with 4 millions or DK games only 1 million, then who bought those more millions in almost every core franchise in the Wii installments considering casuals only get WiiSports/Play/Fit/Party?
Zelda WW 4m --> Zelda TP 6m + 1.5m in GC
Sunshine 5.5m --> Galaxy 10m
Melee 7m --> Brawl 11m
MP4 to 7 2-3m --> MP8 8m
DD 7m --> MKWii 33m
DK 1m --> DKCR 5m

The Wii had a bigger install base to work with so I don't know about that one.

Then this means that the Nintendo core userbase have grown or those franchises get the mass appeal which leds to believe that once the next installments hit the console the sales could improve.
|
I'm guessing people who aren't sticking around for another installment
NSMB Wii 27m -> NSMB U 2m
Seriously though, if the next best selling game after Kart couldn't get the Wii U off the ground, how can any other Nintendo franchise guarantee sales? Does this look like mass appeal to you?

You realize NSMB Wii launched when the Wii had a huge install base and it's been selling since 2009, while NSMBU was release on the Wii U's launch day (meaning no install base) and it's been selling for only 4 months. There's no point in comparing those 2 games, at least not for now.
