Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, 3D Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Metroid, Zelda, Battalion Wars all sold roughly what they did in previous generations despite having 5x the install base. Look at the traditional Nintendo games that did see major growth on Wii. Smash Bros, Mario Kart, NSMB, Mario Party. What do these games have in common? 4 player simultanious multiplayer, thats what the Wii thrived on and these games fit right in with Wii Sports/Play and the entire Wii philosophy of easy to grasp games that are fun to play with a group of friends/family. Now that Wii U no longer has the casual crowd these games will likely revert back to what they sold in previous generations. Smash Bros 5.5-7m, Mario Kart 7-10m, Mario Party 2m. There was no 2D Mario on N64/GC so we dont know how to gauge that one but as u can see its not going to come anywhere close to the Wii version. |
It's just speculation but as I said, I don't think all 60 Million+ extra people have left. I'm assuming that some will come back. Everyone is thinking that everybody who didn't buy a GC but bought a Wii left. I don't think so but we'll see.
