Such a weak argument, it can't be a system seller because it doesn't sell like MK8? We'll pretend you didn't even type this, a system seller doesn't have to sell more then a userbase seller to have more impact. Are you new to gaming? Early adoters have been around for decades and yes they do buy consoles based off hype or their preference for the company it's laughable you're trying to suggest it isn't possible especially when on this very site the have been people pissed off because NX is coming and they bought the platform years back for the new Zelda. The arguments going on right now because some people still believe the's much more on the way for Wii U. According to the global data on this site the end of January is whe the platform dropped to a baseline of 20k and stayed there falling in line with my stance, NSMBU wasn't even in the charting either so the bulk of sales had already happened and it's not hard to explain NSMBU's sales it was the only notable game for early adopters to really buy. NSMB2 also launched the period when the 3DS had its price cut which was a catalyst in spiking sales, the baseline returned to normal shortly afterward and increased heavily when 3DL and MK7 arrived. A number of shovelware games did it on the Wii. |
Of course you'd want to to pretend I didn't say that since it proves you completely wrong. Sales are directly correlated with a game's appeal, obviously since why would 5 million people buy a game they don't like, so 3D World clearly does not have significantly more appeal than NSMBU, nor SM3DL over NSMB2, the numbers prove this, should be the end of this argument right there really.
People buy games along with the console at launch, and they specifically bought NSMBU more than anything, a fact that holds a lot more weight than some petty anecdotal forum go-er complaints.
"it was the only notable game for early adopters to really buy." So it's undeniably a system seller in the literal sense just like every other major Wii U game, glad we're finally clear on that.
"NSMB2 also launched the period when the 3DS had its price cut which was a catalyst in spiking sales, the baseline returned to normal shortly afterward and increased heavily when 3DL and MK7 arrived." lol now I know you have no idea what you're talking about. Check their release dates.
What recent shovelware has done this?
