Would an "Old School Rare" game even sell these days?

Well, it's not that those kind of games don't sell anymore, look at Donkey Kong for Wii which is the second best selling DK game according to our database, but how and to who are you selling the game.

And clearly, that audience is (mostly) not the one that buys an XboxOne.

Looking at sales, that audience isn't the audience that buys a Wii U, either (sadly)!  Even my little girl that loved all things Wii a few years ago only wants to play more mature games.  It tears my heart out. :(

Nintendo problem right now is that they have made a console for kids (even they said so and pointed their lack of appeal to the younger audience as one of the causes for their bad results with WiiU) but priced it as a console for adults.

Even Donkey on WiiU, with its 0.54 mill + digital, appeals to somewhat of a 10% of its audience. Look how many people bought Viva Piñata or Banjo-Kazooie for the 360.

COD: Ghosts appeal to 10% of PS360 audience. GTA V to about 20%. Still everyone wants to do FPS for those systems.
