| sethnintendo said: Bundle it with the new Mario game or Zelda for 300 and I can see it selling. Some people might wonder why are they going to launch it in March or April? I'll tell you why... Because of tax returns. USA tax returns usually start coming in around late Feb, March and April. That is when people have the best chance to have money to splurge. I actually think it is brilliant time besides the obvious holiday launch. |
$300? No way on earth. A small core of diehards would buy it, but it would fare worse than WiiU. Another issue is that given the constraints of mobile hardware, this is probably not much more powerful than a WiiU, and they promised the new Zelda would come out on the WiiU YEARS and YEARS ago. That puts them in a tough spot :
Either release Zelda on both WiiU and Switch to keep their promise : many people will just buy the WiiU version.
or
Release new Zelda only on Switch : burn people with a big lie that many bought a WiiU for in the first place.
Remember : Zelda BOTW was announced in 2013 as a 2015 WiiU release. It's now missing it's release by TWO years :( Skipping a release on the WiiU would just be a slap in the face of the loyal few who bought the U.
