But guess what we do, we just give it away for free with every console! Profits!" Only Microsoft can get away with such a move because they have more money than god. :P |
Except they don't have a big ass game everyone will buy. Mario Kart is in the same tier as 3D Mario and NSMB salewise going by 3DS numbers, as all 3 games are looking to cross the 10 million mark. However on the Wii U, NSMBU and SM3DW have done nothing in terms of helping the console surpass the Gamecube, so what makes you think Mario Kart will do differently? Sure it'll bump the Wii U's sales up a week or two, but after that it's gonna go back down the crapper. That's why they need a bundle + price cut so the increased sales will be sustained longer, atleast long enough for Bayo 2, X, SSB4 to release.
