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.

You said so many time and you were wrong every time. Tablet controller is just one of reasons why Wii U failed not only reason.

But Nintendo games does sell very many copies, especially if we look instal base.

 

Wii U failed beacuse it Nintendo console!? Sorry but that is most hilarious thing I ever read.

What do you think, what sales of Wii would be without Wii Sports and Zelda TP like launch titles, without great price point ($250), without great marketing and with software drouth!? Much, much less than actually are. And guess what, Wii U all had opposite, bad launch titles, bad marketing and name, high price, software drouth, not appealing gimmick...all that combine are reasons why Wii U failed so bad, not beacuse its Nintendo console or only beacuse tablet controller.

No one Nintendo console so many mistakes like Wii U. Nintendo made bloody mess with Wii U, they screw it in every possible way they could it, and because of that we having worst selling Nintendo console, not because Nintendo console are in decrease.

 

Why 2D Mario sold 4x better than TP!? Because NSMB is casual game and Wii was mostly console for casuals, while Zelda TP is core game.

 

You comparing youtube views of one of most popular game ever (GTA V) that is multi platform and that is on two genes of consoles, with Zelda game that currently exclusive for worst selling Nintendo console ever!?
