| cycycychris said: I think one of the biggest points about releasing next to Smash is that all the hype is going to Smash and all the talk is about the game. People are going to midly forget about this game. Only the people who really truely want it will be talking about it. If they released it during the dry summer after MK8 released, I almost feel it would have greater sucess than at Christmas. But I could be wrong. And the game of course wasn't ready at that point. It is puzzing that NIntendo fans either have a sterotype or truely do only buy one game a month and can't compute the idea of buying 2. |
There is not really a good point of comparison, the companies know that releasing close to christmas season is the best option for games on Nintendo consoles and they have data to support it, and summer is usually the worst time for anything except handhelds... but we will never know how big is the difference. The good thing that Watch_dogs have going for it is that it is a unique title on the console, there is no CoD, AC, or almost anything else, if you want a M rated game you can go Bayonetta 2 or Watch_dogs, and those could not be more different from each other. Sure Smash is going to grab all the attention but if you are a new Wii U owner and can't get GTA V, I think WD is the best/only option.
