| Soundwave said: I said operating under the assumption that it doesn't sell *that* low, no Nintendo portable (truly portable) has sold that low, if Switch goes too low, Nintendo will just drop the price and redesign it in a smaller form factor in a year or so and just go from there. Nintendo's support for Wii U vs. 3DS is not that far off, I'd take Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, DKC: Tropical Freeze, and Bayonetta 2 over their 3DS output this gen, in any case this is a non-issue now that Nintendo has effectively unified both sides. So again it doesn't matter from this POV. "Specialized" versions of games don't sell very well. Lets be honest too, what "big" games did the Wii really land that it wouldn't have gotten otherwise had it sold 40-50 million instead of 100 million? Maybe Monster Hunter Tri? There's probably only a handful of really notable games that it got because it sold way above what anyone expected, but it's not like it magically got Resident Evil 5 or GTA3 or something. |
@Bold Well I can already see that you've debased your own original premise so let's grant you that exception for the sake of continuing this bout ...
You thought support for the WII U was satisfactory compared to the 3DS but sales speak of a different story from both hardware to software and unification of platforms isn't proof that Nintendo is obligated to put full software support behind it ...
If the WII sold 50 instead of 100 million would it have gotten the Just Dance series, Sonic Colors, Mario & Sonic Olympic games, RE Umbrella Chronicles, Guitar Hero, Epic Mickey, Rayman, and the COD games as well ? But let's go past 3rd party and collaborated games for a moment and see if Nintendo would've willingly put their own smaller franchises at the time on the WII if it sold lower such as Kirby, Animal Crossing or even Metroid ?
