The week before launch, 3DS sales went up by 2% and saw the launch of Super Robot Wars UX. Then it went up by 5% with the launch of Luigi's Mansion and the release of Monster Hunter Ultimate on NA and Europe and that was followed by another 28% increase which also saw the release of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity in Europe. The next two weeks, 3DS sales went down 18 and 14%. The game had legs, but its effect on the console sales didn't. As for the other thing, you said "I think any game can help sell systems, maybe not by itself, but combined with many other games of different varietys it'll make the whole library that much more appealing..", and it's completely true. But that's impossible to have at launch, you need months until Nintendo, third parties or both launch enough games for that.
On a side note, if the next Zelda also launches on NX, shouldn't we stop calling it Zelda U? |
I could easily say without LM2 sales woulda dropped by 30%. To me it's more reasonable to assume it had some impact based on its large sales, but there's no concrete evidence either way.
It's starts as soon as there's two games. There will certainly be more than that at launch with more upcoming, and yes upcoming games can be factored into buying a console aswell.
That's the only name we have for it right now.
