| SpaceLegends said: I think it would have serve their cause better as a pack-in title with the console. I don't know how many people will be compelled to find the time and opportunity to try it somewhere, or roll the dice on actually buying it without trying it. People are largely followers though, and if it manages to gain some momentum, it could start to drive interest and sales. I don't expect it to have the appeal or success of Wii Sports. I'm not sure that many games could. |
I think it eventually could be. With March being a Zelda/soft launch with few apps ready etc, the focus is on the core, early adopter. By holidays Nintendo should market toward family/party games etc and possibly have 1-2 pre-installed or given a DL code.
With such a thin launch line up, I can't blame Nintendo for trying to make money. Now If 1-2 gets positive feedback, as a low-key must have/system seller, I have no doubt it will in fact be included to help value proposition, (instead of having a price cut by the holidays). If Nintendo can satisfy their main goal to sell through their projection and avoid price cuts, they'll be relieved in Kyoto hq and officially get their mojo back. .
