It's had basically two "good" periods of sales its entire life cycle -- right at launch and right at MK8's launch and both times, sales have dropped back to a mediocre baseline within a month or two. If MK8 can't even net you consecutive 100k+ (still mediocre, but at least it's above 100k) months in the US or a real huge hardware bump in Japan then I think the 2015 lineup is going to be largely ineffective. Unless Splatoon breaks out and becomes like some new type of Minecraft/Pokemon type blockbuster IP. |
Smash Bros + Mk8 will continue to sell in the holidays and most of 2015.
There are more games than months next year, so 1+ retail games for wii u a month and that's whithout yet to be announced games.
Nintendo needs to advertise all of those main ones, apart from from the two project robo ect.
