| AnthonyW86 said: Japan was the only reason Wii-U stayed above 100k ww last week. With such a massive drop, it could already drop below 50k ww this week. Right at the same level it was last year. To be honest even Mario Kart can't save it now. |
It never could. MK and other Mario games didn't help GC or N64 win their generations, what makes people think that Mario games would make Wii U come back into prominence this generation? Because lots of new people discovered Mario on Wii? People who only first discovered Mario on Wii are hardly the sort of people who are devoted to the franchise, and many of those people are probably only interested in one of the versions of Mario, either 2D, or 3D or Kart. This is why NSMBU and SM3DW haven't set the Wii U on fire.
If Wii U is going to be saved from being a monumental disappointment it's going to take something other than just Nintendo's mascot.
