| huiii said: @bold Wii actually has 3 launch games that exceeded 5 mil. Wii Sports, Wii Play and LoZ TP (or do you just mean 8th gen? then yes). I agree that mariokart + smash and whatever will move some WiiU's, all i was trying to say is that they will pull nowhere near the numbers of their Wii counterparts. it would be a huge succes if they did half of what the wii games did. If you want to compare with earlier iterations looking at GC numbers makes more sense, it haveing a comparable userbase to the WiiU and stuff. |
Sorry i didn't make that clear. Yes, I did mean 8th generation launch games.
Anyways, no, I think the WiiU games can sell as half as the Wii games did, maybe not near the numbers of the counterparts but they can sell almost 50~70% as much as the Wii games. The Wii sold too many Mario Kart Wii, Wii sport, and SSBB copies which increased their fans. Which means there are those people who'll say "I'll wait for this game, then i'll buy the WiiU with it". That is how i know those games will affect the WiiU's sales.
By the way, the numbers I used for Mario Kart Wii gave me a hint on how things may turn out and the chance of Mario Kart 8 doing as good as it's predecessor. I can't use Mario Kart DD to see how Mario Kart 8 will do. It's because Mario Kart Wii brought new people to the series. Things have changed since GC and that is why i can't compare the sales of the WiiU and it's games with the sales of the GC and it's games.
No offence, but i dont think using GC to compare makes any sense.
