| bigtakilla said: So, as we all know Xenoblade Chronicles X is supposed to release on Wii U, and Xenoblade Chronicles is supposed to release on the new 3DS in 2015. My questions are do you think there is a reason they are really pushing both of these games at the same time? How do you think these two games will sell? Do you feel one will push the others sales? Can Xenoblade Chronicles X sell on par with games like Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros? Do you think they will try to make this series the fourth leg of the foundation of Nintendo as a company (along with Mario, Link, and Samus)? Do you find it funny how a game that wasn't even suppose to release Worldwide could wind up a cornerstone? |
Im going to ignore what you said about the Xenoblade franchise because I still dont get why the fuck this is a thing?
Metroid isnt some foundation of Nintendo, the series is reletively small. Franchise sales havent passed 18m after 18 years, its only had 2 2m+ sellers and 8 1m+ sellers, its most recent game was 2010 which sold 1.27m.
For comparison (VGC)
Animal Crossing- 26.69m/ 4 games
Pokemon- 232.7m/ 45 games
DK- 64.98m/ 32 games
Kirby- 34.68m/ 22 games
And this is ignoring franchises like Wii, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash Bros etc.
Quite simply, Metroid is niche for Nintendo, not 1 of it 3 foundation legs.
