Hypothetical: What if Super Mario Maker is more of a success than we can predict?

[fleischr]

Chances are good that Nintendo will promote Super Mario Maker harder than any other WiiU game ever. If there's anything Nintendo is willing to bet all their chips on, it's probably this.

While NX unveil/release seems inevitable, Nintendo badly needs to shore up some extra hardware sales in the short run to fatten the bottom line. People forget that the WiiU sales are so low, that a sustained period of great releases and marketing in the holiday season could make a dramatic impact on sales.

I wouldn't count on any more 3rd party support than there is now. Just be thankful the likes of Mighty No. 9, Yooka-Laylee and Bloodstained are coming.
