You forgot that Mario Kart 8 released last year too, and that one is likely to remain the biggest title to ever release on the Wii U. Do you honestly believe Yoshi and Kirby compare to MK8 in terms of sales and influence?


MK8 came out after E3

When I said YoY I meant from January to E3, since I was talking about when it will hit 10m

Wrong.

What makes you think Wii U will be up 20% YOY though? That is, of course, assuming it doesn't get adjusted down once we get official data... the last Yoshi and Kirby titles did only okay on the 3DS, and even back in the Wii days, Kirby barely scratched 2 million worldwide. To put things into perspective even more, Wii U was up by less than 5% YOY in November in the US, you know in the month that Smash U released, not to mention that it was down massively in Japan in November and December over last year.

Really, I'm curious. I'd love to hear what makes you so sure about this.


I believe he was talking about it coming close to the same time of e3. One week of good sales does not cover for 5 months of "bad" sales. Aside from Christmas, that always does the trick.
