| KingdomHeartsFan said: 2013 had droughts too, 2014 had way bigger games coming out, going up YoY literally means nothing, its not impressive in any way, especially when the increase was so low. Yes you are grasping at straws cause none of that has been confirmed FOR 2015, which is what you said. You said they are coming out in 2015, show me proof of that. |
Going up YoY with a "dead" console is impressive. Turning the Wii U profitable when it was a money destroying black hole is impressive. 2014 had far worse droughts because they'd actually built good momentum and it was killed off because nothing else existed.
I also NEVER claimed they'd be out in 2015 and I'm advocating them supporting the Wii U until the PS5 (and by that I mean 9th gen) comes about. That means 2015 and beyond. 2015 already has XBCX, Splattoon, Mario Maker, Zelda U, and Star Fox U, with several smaller titles planned between like Clay Kirby, Yarn Yoshi, Devil's Third, Mario vs DK, and others. There's also Pokken Tournament somewhere in there depending on region and when the port comes in.
Zelda is traditionally as big as Smash, Star Fox is a being made by the team that made the best game in its series, and XBCX essentially has the JRPG market to itself. these games benefit from not being sandwiched between a pair of 4 month droughts like MK8. If 2016 is as good as 2015 it's hard to imagine the YoY not continuing to increase for a forth straight year, meaning more money, which is exactly what a company wants.
Murdering profits to drop hundreds of millions on a new console that will have a short life span is the height of stupidity. Take the money you're getting and do the new gen console right.
