No solid proof for anything, but deriving conclusions for what you wish to be true. Didn't take long for you to backtrack and attack the Wii U again for selling badly, so I don't expect anything different when March and April NPD come around and show that 3DS sales aren't too different from what they have been before the launch of something big.

PS: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker > Bayonetta 2, and it's absolutely deserved.


False equivalency as per usual, but I'm flattered you apparently keep my old posts on speed dial, lol. 

I stand by that post by the way, Nintendo needs to make more "blockbuster" titles like Mario Kart 8 that have all the fixings and give the impression to the consumer that they are really bringing their A-game to the table (like they did with N64 tent pole games).

That's why 14 years after the release of Majora's Mask, people still care about the game, whereas no one gives two farts about Wii Sports or Guitar Hero today. In the long term actual quality (rather than fads) is what creates long-term customers rather than gimmicks. 

The Wii U has so many problems, most centrally a fickle casual base who ditched Nintendo. Nintendo should have abandoned the ill-fated Wii brand entirely, they would be in a much better spot right now had they just used their 1 year headstart with a more sensibly designed enthusiast market console rather than thinking soccer moms and casuals would stay with them forever. 

Oh and I own both Captain Toad and Bayonetta 2 and they're both great games, neither is worth crapping on. The fact is whether you like it or not though the general gaming market is driven by violent action games. Look at any top 10 NPD of any month. Nintendo abandoning that market after Perfect Dark was always a mistake, any move to get some traction back with quality titles like Bayonetta 2 is welcome as far as I'm concerned. 

And by the way I'm not advocating a specific position in this thread, just asking an open question.
