Its number 2 in global software sales behind a game that is given away for free, hardly a bomb. Have you turned your attention to Donkey Kong because 3D World served you a nice helping of crow. |
3D World is far off the other 3D Marios and didn't move consoles. Sorry.

Are you sure? The media was very positive about it and there was a lot of talk about it on the Internet. How do you think the Wii U would have sold last Christmas without that game?

Easy. Galaxy games are iconic, even today, six and a half year later from release. 3D world on the other hand has dissapeared just 4 months after release.
Again, I'm not saying those games are bad. I'm saying those aren't the games the Wii U needed to sell.

Far more people got to play Galaxy since so many people bought into the Wii hype. The Gamecube suffered a somewhat similar fate as the games areen't as fondoly remembered. Galaxy also had the pleasure of being a game on a console that many hardcore gamers thought was a travesty, and being notch better than 3D World (contibuting to even more media loudness). The competition is now on two feet (it wasn't so much back in 2007) which is drawing attention way from NIntendo and towards them.
