| Kazus said: I said "software sellers" NOT Mario games because if you weren't busy being offended by my post, you would realize the Mario game released was in the NSMB series. That game isn't what most people would call (nor consider) a system seller so, let's not even go there. By system sellers, I mean what numerous people in this thread mentioned, Zelda, Smash Bros. and more. Or am I still contradicting myself? |
Alright. We'll just ignore the fact that New Super Mario Bros on the Wii sold 26m while Smash Bros sold 11m, Galaxy sold 10m, Twilight Princess sold 6m, and Skyward Sword sold 3m. Huge system sellers compared to NSMB. New Super Mario Bros is easily one of the best selling titles on the Wii and it's not considered a system seller? NSMB is in the top five. So yeah. You are still contradicting yourself.
Mario Kart is in second, so are you going to argue that it's going to be a major system seller and do what NSMB U failed to do? I wouldn't. Mario Kart Wi was a pack in with the console along with Wii Sports for a very long time. You can say the same thing with NSMB, but it was released alongside a red Wii for a limited time so it's definitely not skewed as bad as Mario Kart is.
Let's take a closer look at the top 30 Wii games released though. Wii Fit at 22m, Wii Fit Plus at 21m, Just Dance 3 at 9m, Just Dance 2 at 9m, Just Dance at 7m, Zumba Fitness at 6m, Just Dance 4 at 5m, Michael Jackson the Experience at 4m, and EA Sports Active at 4m. Less than 100,000 to one million was rounded up. So 10 casual games were in the top 30, and that's not including the games that were in Wii bundles. These casual gamers are not going to get duped into buying a Wii U after buying a Wii. They bought it because it was a fad and nothing more.
So being realistic since the casual market is no longer interested in any of the three consoles more than likely, it's obvious Nintendo is going to be last place for consoles this gen. So you're only lying to yourself by saying it will be a huge seller.
