im sorry but this is a very dumb question, here are the sales for mainline console platformer Donkey Kong games.

Wii U isn't a mainline console.

Funny, but the last line of his post remains unchallenged.

You have to consider that it IS one of nintendo's worst selling consoles aside from virtual boy ...
|
I did. But I've been convinced in another, earlier thread that install base doesn't actually matter when comparing sales. Not nearly as much as art style or other arbitrary stuff.
That's sarcasm. The logic oft employed on these forums has turned my bitter.

It's true that install base does not matter when you have the BEST QUALITY game but retro is known for good games and not something the public would consider as amazing but if the WII U had Halo 5 as an exclusive, I bet it would have moved atleast 3 million WII Us. Retro studios best game so far has sold around 6 million.
It is GOOD games that sustain momentum but it is the AMAZING games that move the consoles.

Does the Metroid Prime trilogy seem "just good" to you? The first one is one of the most critically acclaimed games ever.

System sellers move consoles, like Call of Duty or Pokemon, it is up to you whether those games are amazing or not.
Very few dev teams have such a flawless record as Retro. My idea of "just good" would be something like WayForward.
Game informer gave Tropical Freeze a 9.25/10 btw.

It may sound dumb to you but QUALITY is measured by SALES. While retro games do good sales wise it's just that they fall short of amazing.
