Also not all Nintendo franchises really benefitted all that much from the Wii userbase. Mario certainly did, but Mario is a very good "bridge" title. A lot of Nintendo's more "hardcore" franchises though -- Zelda, Metroid, etc. really didn't sell any better than they did on the N64 or GCN days, certainly not relative to the increase in userbase. Things like The Last Story and Xenoblade had such a limited market, that NOA didn't even bother to localize them initially (they eventually gave in to a very limited Xenoblade print run). |
Twilight Princess on Wii sold more than the Gamecube version and Wind Waker put together.
Goldeneye 007 on Wii sold almost as much as GC's three 007 games put together. In fact, FPS games sold much better on Wii, with 5 crossing the million mark compared to 0 on the GC. (Or 6 to 2 if you count the Metroid Prime games)
Resident Evil 4 sold more on Wii than GC despite being a 2-year-old port.
