give me a link. YOu still havent provided evidence. Let me put it this way, would DKC have had the same boost had it NOT released in the holidays? say released in a slow period like summer? |
The burden's not on me to prove common knowledge. And honestly I can't be bothered googling articles from the mid 1990s, haha.
DKC caused a boost that was independent from price cut or holiday boosts. Those boosts would have continued periodically as they do throughout the lifespan of any console, but DKC was on a whole other level in terms of its impact. The hype machine was monumental, and at the time unprecendented. There's a reason it's credited with allowing the SNES to finally finish its long struggle with the formidible Megadrive.
