I'll tell you why Nintendo fans are so excited over 1 week's worth of sales.

Even with all those games its impossible. Metroid isn't big, MG wouldn't sell to a different audience than SM3DW and Zelda is only coming as a spinoff which is a DW-style game with limited appeal.

Even if they launch all their big IPs in a year they wouldn't sell that much. They never have sold that much in 7 months except in the case of Wii which had Wii Sports and motion controls unless they drop the price to $200 which they will not do.

So your reasoning amounts to "it's impossible, even with all those games", and "Nintendo systems have never sold that much (except for the Wii)".

I feel that is a good enough reason. I'll be surprised if it even sells half of those numbers in the next 7 months.

In that case, I'm curious. If it's not games that sell systems, what is it?
