AC wild world launch in US at around the same time as japan. This means obviously WW sales are ahead. But line up every region, AC on 3ds is winning. Remember digital sales are big with AC. Here you go... http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=USA&ending=Cumulative&game%5B%5D=Animal+Crossing%3A+New+Leaf+%283DS%29+%5B71137%5D&game%5B%5D=Animal+Crossing%3A+Wild+World+%28DS%29+%5B82%5D&game%5B%5D=&game%5B%5D= 2. Dropping Franchises? Really? How much Do you expect It to sell when the user base is 30mil vs 150mil? Think of attach ratios. lots of games are doing good with a 30mil user base. Vita hasn't sold nothing yet AC liberation has a great attach ratio. Its not a multi mil seller right? so is the franchise going down? of course not. Obviously not alll 3ds games are going to be as high as ds games simply because of user base. MK7 is a huge success. Brain Age is wat you call a decline franchise, even Nintendogs+cats even though it sold over 3mil. 3. Just cuz it has the name mario in it doesn't mean its the same just like you pointed our SM64DS isnt. NSMB2 is the comparable game. And yes NSMB was such a major success. You do realize some games your mentioning are in the top 10 highest selling games of all time right? You really think every successor is suppose to outsell it? 4. Yes we will see... Last thing. Your going to regret pokemon's 12mil prediction. Its going to be fun reminding you lol |
1. The gap will only increase over time. At the end of of the day, the only franchise that sold as much as it's predecessor so far is Fire Emblem.
2. As I said before, GTAV won't sell 75M just because the userbase tripled since GTAIV. At some point, userbase size doesn't matter.
3. SM64DS is still a port of an N64 fame.
4. Lol, no. Honestly, some people even think that Pokemon's lifetime sales will beat GTAV's first week sales.
