Animal crossing sold over 3 million on gamecube and sold over 4 million on wii.. Game doesn't appeal to me but it brings in a different audience than other nintendo games. It targets the female demographic more. Xenoblade isn't out yet but will again pull in a different audience the hardcore JRPG audience. Some people don't get it. It's a second console purchase. The more great exclusive games it has and the lower the price the more likely gamers are to pick it up. The value as a second console just continues to increase as more exclusive content arrives on the system. So based on 2 days of Smash sales in the united states you're suggesting it didn't have impact lol? We won't know the impact until next week's numbers. |
The slight upward trend that the WiiU is experiencing will not allow it reach 30 million and a tiny handful of modestly popular games is not going to help much. It will reach at most 9 million by the end of the year and I doubt that it will even reach 14 million by the end of of next year. You keep talking about the WiiU as the choice second console but what is this based on? After I buy a PS4 I will probably end up buying an XBOne because I don't want to play the same old Nintendo games again and I'm hardly the only one taking this approach. The GameCube had plenty of the same games and look how that turned out. Again, the WiiU doesn't have the slightest prayer of ever reaching 30 million LTD, it just isn't going to happen unless something drastic happens.
