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? |
We'll pretend you didn't say it because it's a weak response that is not only null and void to the whole argument it makes no sense in any context. A games appeal doesn't equate to it being a system seller, it's been explained to you already previously already in NSMBU being a decarative title that sells to the userbase the's no need to even repeat myself. As for the period 3DL and MK7 I misread the dates and got mixed up my mistake, 3DS began selling at 400k upon 3DL's release, when MK7 release a few weeks after it spiked to 700k on the game's release and 1m a week with MH's release before coming to the baseline of 300k, the price cut had raised the baseline to 150k after the spike in sales it caused prior to this. In comparison the week NSMB2 released (28th July) 3DS the 3DS had a spike of 100k units above the then baseline for one week before returning to the baseline of 300k. Funny enough both 3DL and MK7 have outsold NSMB2 by a margin that is bigger than what NSMBU is over 3DW which under the logic you're trying to push backs those games as system sellers.
Yeah people buy games at launch early adopters would have bought the Wii U with NL alone or even nothing because that group were always planning to purchase the platform right at the start anticipating their first party favourites, a game being their only choice doesn't make the game a system seller.
