On the most succesful Nintendo console ever, one of the best rated games in the history of gaming, Mario Galaxy did 1.20 millions and Mario Galaxy 2 did less than a million. How much do you think 3D world will do ? I would expect about 900k. That's enough for me to compare them to the last gen versions. Actually, now that I look them in perspective 3D world did great taking in consideration the massive difference in user base. I know people here loves to hate on Nintendo but the game itself did fine. |
Mario 64 had a smaller userbase on the N64 and DS at launch and sold more first week. Sunshine sold over 2.6x more first week than 3D World and the Gamecube userbase was only about 250k higher than the Wii U's. It also caused a much bigger hardware bump for the Gamecube.
As you said, the Galaxy games were some of the best rated games ever on Nintendo's most successful console. So why exactly should 3D World have better legs?
