| Miyamotoo said: In modern age 2D Mario (or any 2D game) can't be serious launch system seller, if 2D Mario like launch system seller is good choice Wii U wouldnt have so terrible sales. Skyward Sword was not launch game (actually arrived on Wii when Wii already was dead). You already forget that TP moved tons of Wii consoles on Wii launch, core gamers buyed Wii because of TP while casulas buy Wii because of Wii Sports. But nobody wants to buy Wii U to play 2D Mario, Wii U sales number proves that. |
Nope. Like I already said so many times..Reason Wii U Failed: Tablet controller wasnt as popular as wiis motion controls.
Nintendos games dont sell many copies, because people arnt as interested in those games. For many, many gamer the competition offers better gamesn (like GTA, Witcher, Fallout, Skyrim) which are all non existent on the wii u.
Your wrong by searching for the reason the wii u failed. It failed because it was a nintendo console. You need to ask for the reason the wii didnt failed, and that was because of the motion controls.
In the past, every nintendo console decreased in sales. From n64 to gamecube to wii u. The wii was the exception, not the wii u.
If nobody wanted to play 2d mario game why did it sell 4x as many copies as twilight princess on Wii?
Some things to back up this:
Youtube Views on Zelda Wii U e3 reveal: 4,7 Mio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmxvig1dXE)
Youtube Views on zelda Wii U tech demo: 2,4 Mio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_fyOkrteqM)
Youtub Views on Zelda Wii U gameplay: 0,8 Mio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y4hv62YEw)
Youtube Views on GTA V gameplay: 33 mio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-xHcvug3WI&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DN-xHcvug3WI&has_verified=1)
Youtube Views on Witcher 3 gameplay: 6 Mio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4ony2r0QFs)
There just isnt a big general interest in zelda games anymore.
Even Just Dance sold more copies on Wii as any Zelda game does.
And even if we assume, that 7mio sales on Twilight princess were all core gamers, thats just nothing. Thats just 7 Mio people vs 40-50mio on ps4.
