@Bold - BS! NSMBU is selling like crazy and is in no way rejected. It's the Wii U that's rejected and the game is suffering from it. |
Yeah, it's selling like crazy - 50k a week in late November. Compared with NSMB Wii, which was selling 400k a week in late November 2010, a year after it released. And don't waste my time with "but Install Base!", because install base is a measure of people who buy a system for a game, and there aren't many games for the Wii U that people would buy the system for - NSMB U is one of the best available at this time. So many of those who *do* buy a Wii U are getting that game for it. But it's not a game that is inspiring millions upon millions of people to buy a Wii U. If the Wii U had a true system-seller, NSMB U would not have nearly as big a percentage of the install base.
I didn't say the game was bad, and I said the game was rejected by comparison with NSMB Wii. Of the 26 million people who bought NSMB Wii, maybe 2 million (assuming there are some who bought NSMB U but never had NSMB Wii) have decided that they need to buy a Wii U to play its successor. And given relative sales of Nintendo Land (and the fact that Nintendo found much higher demand for the Premium bundle), I'm guessing that that game is contributing just as much to people's decisions to buy a Wii U.
