| Shadow1980 said: It might provide a moderate one-week boost. The original sold something like 2 million copies, so even if only 1% of those people were big enough fans to go out and buy a whole new console to play the sequel, that's potentially 20,000 extra Wii U systems sold. If 20k people got the system the week Bayo 2 comes out, that'd probably be like a 40% boost over the previous week. Not spectacular and certainly not anything that's going to help in the long run, but still decent. Of course, this may be a best-case scenario. |
Well 40% boost on a small game is incredible... too bad the baseline is small.
