Nintendo is the only company that can t have a flop no matter how few sales-

If Nintendo can make money selling a few hundred of one of their brand titles with an amazing art style (I m sure it was not cheap) then they are using sweat shops to produce their games

since when is 50,000 sales in launch week in the USA good for any game?

I guarantee this Kirby title is a flop as far as Nintendo is concerned- to bad too

Can any person site and info that gives the aprox cost of one of Nintendo s "budget title" will they please let the forums know- I am pretty sure it cost Nintendo much more than many peole think to develop the quality games they produce- even a flop like Kirby because it was still developed to be a quality game- it just did not work out this time-


Nintendo is the only company that can t have a flop no matter how few sales-  ★"W101/Bayo2/Brain Age" Happy?

 

 

since when is 50,000 sales in launch week in the USA good for any game? ★ Well again it depends on what type of game, Kirby RC for this statement is FINE Because though it sold 50k First Month (not week), it sold higher its second month.  Its Total is currently over 110k, with estimated  shipments in NoA overall over 150k. There is also the fact that its not close to selling.

Ex: Kirby Triple Deluxe sold 42k First month, so it flopped/bombed right? WRONGGGG, its now over 350k by end of Dec lifetime in the US with obviously 400k+ shipped.

Those are horrible numbers no matter how you look at it-  If Nintenod could make money selling 200k games they would be pumping those out non stop because the risk would be far lower and reward far higher-       

 

W101 and Bayo II were funded and published  by Nintendo not developed by them-  But yes unfortuatnley they were flops-  both very high quality games that should have sold far more and prob could have with the right mareting behind them-   but we will prob never know

IMO it is an insult to Nintendo to think 50k is anythng but a bomb or that they only spend a few penny s to develop any of their brand games 

Even though the game did not turn out like they hoped- the art style is still amazing and I m sure it was not cheap to make that game oterwise they would have made it much longer
