If they could speak, they'd be saying "damn you Wii U!" Even if Nintendo had released Mario Galaxy 3 or Mario 64-2 instead, things would be no different, except maybe there'd have been a little less whineing at the E3 reveal. |
The anger and disappointment at the reveal was the sound of lost sales; people who would have gobbled up Mario 64 II turned their nose up at 3D World.
I for one adore 3D World, but from a sales perspective, it was not a smart move.

Except the only people angry at the reveal were rabbid forum go-ers who bought the game anyway. I take it you still don't understand that we're the minority, a tiny one at that.
It made perfect sense as 3DLand is enroute to sell about as much or more than 64 n Galaxy so the series is clearly popular, and they probably found it was the variant best suited for multiplayer. |
But 3D World will be lucky to sell as much as Sunshine, another game that was not what gamers wanted.

Nah, people just didn't want the GCN as they've just been wanting Nintendo consoles less and less barring Wii with it's motion controls. A game can only sell as much as the console allows it to, and Sunshine did great for itself with that in mind, and so will SM3DW and NSMBU. MK8 and SSB4 are also gonna be pulling numbers similar to their GCN counterparts. Afterall you can't possibly expect Mario Kart to do 30+ million again on a console with sub 20 million sales.
