come on man. you cant honestly believe that people are really going to buy 3dsS in droves just to play sequels to some indie games? i like gunman clive as much as the next guy but if i didnt have 3ds and the only way to play the sequel was to get a 3ds i would say fuck that. and this is coming from gamer so what do you think people who care alot less will do. Honestly i dont see any games you mentioned doing much for the system not in the west. |
Not that many people bought those games on the PC & Smartphones to begin with. I wouldn't called it droves, but it's a 1 time noticible boost to a new audience. I mean the 3DS version of Gunman Clive outsold the combine sells of iPhone & Android for a reason, because they weren't that high on Smartphones to begin with. And normally people would say fuck it, but with a good price tag after the next price cut, plus the addition of glasses-free 3D in 60 fps per video image, it can archive a new un-tap casual audience, but it will be small, but it's a good one time boost in sales.
The 2 games from Mega Man creator that are 3DS exclusives will boost the system, especially the way they are mass marketing & advertising & branding King of Pirates 1. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate & Super Smash Bros. Handheld with 2D sprite looking graphics when played with the 3D OFF, will also help sells.
all these things add up to a perfect storm of an actual real improvement of sells.
Its everything altogether plus price cut, that will bring the 3DS momentum back.
