Repost from the locked thread.
They have nothing to show at E3... just it.
And anything that they show will be obfuscated by PS4 and Nextbox. |
New post but similar from the other thread.
Kinda like how the ps3 failed against the Wii right?
Sony would kill to have a franchise close to one of Nintendo's top 5.

Why should Sony envy them? Because of the quality of gameplay? That is subjective. Because of sells? The top five? Number five is NSMBWii and that franchise's successor already released with the WiiU and it's sells are nothing compared to what its predecesor achieved and it hasn't sold as well as Sony's best franchises, which brings Mario to a new reality, or the reality it has had before the Wii. We will wait and see how the rest of the top five perform when released on the WiiU.
If you think that sells make companies envious of other people's IPs then I guess you feel Nintendo is envious of Activision and Rockstar IPs.

New super Mario bros games are long time sellers. The same way Mario Kart is a long time seller. So far, with less than 4million WiiU sold, they sold over 2.5million NSMBU... That is excelent numbers considering the number of hardware out there. And that game will keep selling during the entirity of WiiU's lifepan. Most like 1 out of every 3 WiiU hardware sale will mean a automatic NSMBU sale. No question that this game will sell over 5million lifetime. It's success is entirely upon the hardware's sucess now, if WiiU sales reach 50mil, their is no doubt in my mind that NSMBU will reach around 15mil.

I am not saying the game is a bad seller by its own standards. Not all games need to sell over five millions to be successful, just enough to have profit. That is why I quoted the above post. He says that Sony envies Nintendo's IPS because of those "5 best" Nintendo franchises, and the best selling ones have been on the Wii. Apart from the Wii, Nintendo franchises sell very well, but not a huge amount over the best Sony ones.
5 million lifetime is possible, especially if bundled. 15 mil lifetime only if bundled and realy on and/or if WiiU takes off and sells a little better than the current situation.
