Is "Miitomo" a good idea?

A game that sold 4 million copies world wide? Wouldn't that be one of the lowest selling games featuring Mii characters? Besides like Wii Party 2 and Wii Music? Is that supposed to be impressive?

I don't see anyone who seems to indicate that the game sold well because the game featured Miis.  I bet they could just as easily replace the Miis with Animal Crossing characters, and I bet it would sell just as well, if not more.

It's a game solely devoted to interacting with Miis and placing them in all sorts of scenarios unlike the other titles and it sold 4m WW more then the majority of games today can sniff at, that flat out tells you Miis have an impact. Go watch videos of the game Miis and their interactions are the draw for the title.

No, It's a game solely devoted to interacting with generic characters that so happen to be Miis and placing them in all sorts of scenarios . Do you have any evidence that the game's main draw was the fact that you had an opportunity to use your Mii as opposed to any other generic character creator?

How is your logic any different than saying that the Khajiit are immensely popular characters because Skyrim sold over 18 million copies world wide? Would anyone say that Raiden is obviously a popular character because MGS2 sold 6 million copies world wide? No. Of course not.  Conversely, if Miis are so popular why did Wii Sports Club for the Wii U sell so terribly, people love playing with their Miis right?

The logic here is so flawed. For all we know the game sold well despite the fact that it used Miis.
