| RolStoppable said: My sales comparisons weren't restricted to just the latest entries, but the series as a whole. Historically, Donkey Kong has been significantly more popular than Metroid. The internet reaction has been "LOL Wii U!" since 2011. It has been "LOL Wii!" since 2006. Considering how the internet reaction has been the same, but Nintendo's sales greatly differ between the Wii U and Wii, it's safe to say that we can kick the internet reaction in the bucket when it comes to Nintendo. As for the impact on hardware sales, a big game like DKC5 is guaranteed to help while whatever imaginary game you think of is not. You are just grasping for straws, because you don't like that DKC5 is made by Retro. Your post with the claim that it is a 3DS game that was moved to the Wii U is evidence for that. |
1)Not strictly true, especially not for nintendo fans. Other than being called a fad (which in itself implies it has a strong USP, just not one with legs) the wii recieved ton of good coverage up until 2008/9 when the titles started to die down and their E3s were just filled with wii music and other weak showings. The difference then is that the wii captured the casual audience and they kept it going even when core titles became few and far between. The complaints this time are coming from core nintendo fans, the same ones you said they need to cater to because the casuals have clearly vacated the building.
2) I am not grasping at straws there is a very simple logic I am addressing. High sales does not equate to system sellers, people use media on 360 more than they play games, but is the media functionality the reason they bought the system in the first place? Zombi U only sold 450k but I know people who wouldn't have bought the Wii U if that title wasn't on it. What you are trying to dictate to everyone else is that there is no value in a diverse portfolio. By your same logic of simply assessing software sales and not the context, you would assume that a New Super Mario bros U is a superior launch title compared to a full fledged 3D title Mario or a brand new Zelda, simply because the wii version sold 22m and Mario galaxy and Zelda on wii sold considerably less.
Also my post on the claim that it is a 3DS title, is evidence that I do not see in black and white. I obviously don't know whether thats actually the case or but I do have brain and I'm willing to use it.
