I have yet to meet a single Nintendo fan who told me that he wouldn't be buying the wiiU version of smash due to the 3DS version. In fact, the only place where I could see this happening is in Japan because it's very mobile/handheld centric. As for the wiiU image, what? If anything, it's image actually increased by a lot every since e3 2014. I'd actually argue that it's the Wii Fit balance board that sold by itself rather then the software. Same thing with the kinect, the inovation at that time (recognition of your movements without any controllers) was what sold the accessory and the xbox 360 that got bought due to the kinect. |
Nintendo Fans =/= Average consumers
Second of all just what exactly is a "Nintendo gamer" ? Those who exclusively play on Nintendo platforms ? Those who buy and play Nintendo games ? Those guys that you speak from the internet mostly ? What you're describing is so vague ...
Sure you can say that but if it was the "innovation" rather than the "software" that sold those peripherals as well as consoles then why exactly did Sony fail with their Eyetoy and PS Move ? Just how exactly do you know if it's the idea of novelty that's selling those peripherals ?
