| MoHasanie said: I agree with you that cartoony games sell well on the Wii U. But why should companies spend so much money and put so much effort to make games look more child friendly? It just doesn't make sense. And I highly doubt it would sell 2m. Even Nintnedo's exclusives which got a decent amount of marketing and were aimed at kids just reach 1m. So I highly doubt a cartoony Assassin's Creed would sell more than 250k. |
250k? Thats alot off from anythign realistic. Even Disney infinity and Skylander are selling 500k.
Even Assassins Creed in realistic sells 250k Thats a very unrealistic estimation.
Did you even read my first topic?
I count all advantages. More sales, reach new groups of gamer, make people used to your franchises so they buy the realistic looking ones if they get older and more. Just check it.
I also explained that its not to hard to retexture a game. Cell shaded graphics arent that hard to make. Many third party cartoony looking games are selling like 1mio copies on all 3 systems. And these games are profitable even with makin the whole game AND using cell shading textures.
I see no way a AAA-title in cartoony graphics sell less then a mill on wii u with some marketing. Thats already more then other cartoony non aaa titles sell at all.
Which nintendo AAA titles just sell 1m?
Mario Kart 5,5mio
Nintendoland 4,5mio
3d Wörld: 3,2 Mio
Windwaker 1,4 Mio (just a port)
And Splatoon already cross 1m and will likely sell 2-3mio lifetime.
Thats pretty much all nintendo aaa title on wii u.
Also kids dont care if a game is made by Nintendo, Ubisoft, EA or whatever. Good AAA title with marketing will sell same as Nintendos big titles.
1-2mio for an cartoony assassins creed is very very likely.
Just a comparison for wii. it doesnt even fit realyl good scince the wii was owned by many different people (casuals, gamers, old people, kids, teenagers, girls, etc). Wii U is mostly owned by kids and nintendo fans.
Star wars lego: 5,5 Mio sold units
Star wars forces unleash: 1,8 mio sold units
Thats already 3x as many copies for the cartoony star wars game compared to the realistic looking one.
If you also keep the different situation for wii u in mind, 4-5x as many sales for cartoony AAA games are very realistic.
0,3mio ac4 sales = 1-1,5mio sold units.
