| poppler said: Some games have a cap definitely, but games like Smash, Mario Kart and Splatoon can keep selling even higher if the install base is huge. I mean look at Mario Kart numbers on wii 35million it has insane potential. Imagine if Mario Kart was available on xbox and playstation. |
Ya it seems as though a few games will sell proportionally to whatever the install base is, hard to tell with Splatoon though as it only has one installment. One major reason why I wouldn't want Nintendo to turn 3rd party is that I feel they will stop making some of their more niche or experimental titles and instead focus on the few big ones that push massive numbers since they no longer need to worry about offering a diverse lineup in order to sell hardware, most Nintendo IP are actually outsourced to small 2nd party developers and I'm not sure if Nintendo would keep doing this and instead just develop games internally while publishing titles from a few of their bigger longtime partners like Hal, Intelligent Systems & Game Freak.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
