 i def think it will move some consoles, but maybe not like say...a Halo would move some 360s. My days of buying systems for one game are over.

Ya very few people will buy a console for one game and it looks like Nintendo realizes that. Not many people will buy Wii U just for Pikmin or W101 or Wind Waker or DKC or Wii Fit or 3D Mario but when u combine all those in a short period of time then people will take notice.

I find it funny when people say NSMBU failed to sell consoles when thats the only major exclusive. Most people arent going to buy a $300 console just for a 2D platformer.

2d marios moved a bunch of consoles back in the day. ANd im pretty sure that Ninty thought it would move more otherwise they wouldnt have it as their only major exclusive for so long.

When u say back in the day do u mean NES/SNES era? Because thats a ridiculous argument, u cant compare a 2D game selling consoles in a time when all games were 2D to a 2D game selling consoles in todays market. Also thats over 20 years ago, the video game industry is nothing like it was back then.

Or do u mean back in the day as in Wii/DS era? Because thats a foolish comparison as well. Both of the consoles were under $200 at the time and had alot of big games to go along with them when they released. DS-$129, Mario Kart, Mario 64 DS, Animal Crossing, Brain Training, Nintendogs. Wii-$199, Wii Sports/Resort, Wii Fit/Fit Plus, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros, Mario Kart.

And they didnt plan on NSMBU being the only big title for so long. Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends, Wii Fit U were all supposed to come out in the launch window and none of them did, not all of those games are huge but they would have certainly helped give Wii U a solid line up of exclusives for the first half of the year and sales wouldnt be so low.
