In game A you face blue aliens, in game A 2 you face red aliens since in game A 2 there are no blue aliens there is no threat (what logic is that?). Also the reason why 2d mario would sell more than 3d mario because it is more straightfoward (which has already been stated many times in this thread) but it is also little more than that. The thing is the games that sell nintendo hardware are the more complex games such Zelda, Metriod and 3d Mario (lets just put it in there for good measure). While these by themselves don't seem to do mindblowing numbers the truth is any Zelda, Metriod or 3d mario fan would drop money on a new console to play these games (provided the games are up to standards). But the tricky part is that a Zelda fan may not buy a console for Metriod, and a Metriod fan may not buy a console for 3d mario and vice versa because each is complex and different in thier own way. While on the other hand because of 2d mario simplicity it would be bought by mostly any gamer once it is on their console. So what you end up with is a zelda fan buying a nintendo console and picks up 2d mario btw, a metriod fan buying a nintendo console and gets 2d mario btw and a 3d mario fan picking up 2d mario btw, increasing the sales of 2d mario by 3x. Which is the reason why NSMBU failed to move as much hardware but will probably outsell any of these games IF they make it to wiiU. |
Considering that Wii Sports sold the Wii, I'd say simple games are better system sellers than complex games.
Signature goes here!
