I think they're gonna have to release MK8 in March now |
They're going to need a MK8 sized title like for every month starting like yesterday at this rate.
Honestly if they couldn't come close to sniffing a profit this year with Pokemon X/Y, Animal Crossing (Western release), Super Mario 3D World, Zelda: LBW, Monster Hunter 4, 2DS release, Pikmin 3, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club ... they probably are going to lose money again next year too.
3DS looks like it's already peaked sales wise and Wii U is a disaster that's going to require another $50 price drop at least ... which will probably mean they have to incur more losses.

MK8 would be lucky to break 5 million at this rate.

I think MK8 will do fine though its sales will be much closer to Mario Kart on GameCube than the Wii one, but I think Smash Bros. is going to stun some people with it's relative non-impact. I just don't sense the same frenzied hype around this one as the build up to the Wii one (remember when people went nuts over the Solid Snake trailer?), it just seems like "oh ... another Smash Brothers game". It doesn't even look that great graphically to be honest, and I think it being on 3DS also is going to dilute its impact (just NSMBU/NSMB2 did).
