From November 2012 to July 2013, the only major 1st party titles were NSMBU & Nintendo Land which both launched in November. From August 2013 to May 2014, Pikmin 3, Luigi U, Wind Waker HD. Wii Party U, 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart released and a price cut happened with many new bundles. Please explain to me based on that how you can clain 3D World had a greater effect. |
It's starting to come across as if you're deliberately trying not to understand for the sake of your argument, I've highlighted that data on this very site showing the performance of hardware when certain games are release.
Pikmin 3, NSMLU and the bundles arrived Q3 when hardware performance was still at its worst and the baseline was even dropping (at points was below20k), performance picked up when WWHD arrived causing a spike of 70k in October and as I pointed out earlier 3DW caused the biggest spike for the platform since launch for a good number of weeks, along with WWHD and WP their releases influenced the baseline increasing. What about Mario Kart you were banging on about Fiscal years now jump to a game released in F3, it itself casued a further baseline increase it adds to my point other games are better system sellers and have more influence. Let me break it down
- Throughout F2 NSBMU and NL were the main 1st party IPs for the majority right.
- It was the worst performing Fiscal for WiiU right.
- Data from this site shows the majority of sales coming in the last 3 months of the Fiscal, the period WWHD, 3DW and WP.
- Plus the baseline increased after this period.
- Pikmin, the bundles etc... that came in Q3 had little impact if any at all looking at performance data on this site.
- We know F1 was the console's first 3 months where early adopters make their purchases.
Now put all this together, from data you yourself posted the worst period was the one where the so called system seller you are touting NSMBU was the main show, it took the arrival of the highlighted games to boost performance and don't come back and give me that "but but 3DW..." malarky because I'm flat out comparing NSMBU against all other big names and looking at it individually they had an impact while NSMBU's lack of draw was covered up by early adopters early on.
This is why NX is launching with Zelda and not NSMB NX, the NSMB series is a userbase seller and not a system seller.
