Will the same customers be back for MK8? 2) It's based on just... game sales. 2 Million is a pretty good barometer when you look at it. It's what denotes the difference between say, a Platnium game and a very similar game that sells much better. So 2 million is a figure pulled out of the air then. 3) The very next setence? Obviously. Those games brought in average users early on, they didn't stick around because they didn't really have anything the average person would be interested aftewords though. So more guess work... 4) Average audience = the majority of people who buy videogames. Happy to agree then that audience are not then the majority of MK Wii owners? 5)Why has no game so far succeeded in moving the Wii U? Because it's somewht of a conceputal trainwreck. The tablet controllers are way to expensive for what they provide, and they donn't innovate gameplay in a large way like the wiimote, basically making the Wii U too expensive for it's specs and too weak technically for multiplatform support. Will a game, or selection of games, then ever be able to get over that hurdle? I say no. 6) I don't see where I said it would tip everything. All I said is that Mario Kart is a game the mass market quite cares about. I imagine you'll see a significant uptick in sales launch week, and a coupe weeks after, same for smash too... If the mass market cares about Mario Kart, then why the low GC sales and low N64 sales? You can't claim the mass market likes a game and then no one actually buys the console for which said game is on. MK is a game that only Nintendo fans care about. The difference with the Wii is seen with 2D mario very clearly. Casuals buy games with "nintendo" on it because they don't care enought to look around, and Nintendo fans always buy Nintendo titles (SB on GC sales). Then a huge uptake in software sales for those two games when/if Wii U gets to a cheaper mass price fast enough. |
Same again
