Don't discount the endless number of times people in these very threads have made statements to the effect of "I want to get a Wii U but I'm going to wait till Mario Kart/Smash Bros./Zelda comes out to finally get one", or similar statements like "I want a PS4, but I'll wait till _____ comes out before getting one". These statements are made all the time. People may indeed want a system for it's total library.......but often, people decide to make the jump to actually buy, based on 1-2 select titles. Cheers. |
I agree a specific game can give a person the motivation to finally pick up a console but for most there has to be at least a couple other games that they want on it. If ur average consumer sees Mario Kart 8 is now out they might get interested in buying a Wii U then they go look at the other games and see Mario Kart 8 is literally the only game available they will probably reconsider. On the other hand if they go look at the other games and see NSMBU, 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, Nintendo Land, Wii Party U then they will most likely go ahead and buy a Wii U assuming those games appeal to them as well.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
