Final Fantasy isnt even in the same genre as Metroid or Castlevania. What are you talking about? There was no Metroid equvilant on PS2 or Xbox. Tell me what they were? No its not Castlevania all the PS3/box games were 3d ones. Nothing to do wiht each other.

Ok fair enough. And im telling you they are NOT going to release enough games to make a difference, tehy had a year headstart, what were they doing? Again you can quote me.

As for MK im not talking about sales. MK was always the best seller. Hell even back in N64 days and PS1 still destroyed  it. PS2 same with Cube. What effect will it have on Wii U? Not much, not enough to change course, we are already seeing that as its way below 100k already.

Oh i understand. I just think you're wrong. This may sound harsh but there isnt anything coming out for Wii U that is going to drastically change things, if im wrong you can bring this up

I think you're way too cocky for something that hasn't happened yet. I'm not saying Nintendo will pull it off, I'm saying that at least the strategy is sound, so long as they CAN pull it off.

How can I be wrong if I'm not predicting that they will pull it off but simply saying that I hope they do.

Again, MK did a lot for the N64 but not enough. Much like MK did a lot for the Wii but alone it would not be enough. That's why I'm talking about a mosaic.

As for Final Fantasy, I'm not talking about genres, I'm talking about the people that buy them. They are the same and the reason we know that is because of the games that were being bought when Metroid and Zelda were big: Mega Man, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, irrespective of genre. Those games were pursued by gamers on the PS and so Metroid is now not enough to attract the new (DS/Wii) crowd. It is good as a piece of a mosaic (like X and Golden Sun are nice as part of a larger mosaic), but alone they do little for the console. That's why the N64 and cube did so poorly. They didn't have the games that made the mosaic, like the DS and Wii had.

if being cocky is looking at numbers and trends and coming to some logically conclustion using said numbers. THen call me cocky. Were you really saying you HOPE or were you saying they WILL? if it was the former i apologize, still doesnt change my opinion that they wont.

Ok fair enough will see what happens with the system.

You literally have no proof of the bolded. You cant possibly know that people who bought Metroid also bought Zelda and Castlevania. Proof? N64 did bad because it didnt have the games. it didnt have the games its predessor had, that simple. GC sold poorly cause it got steamrolled
