Selling 1 million is nice, but probably isn't going to push a lot of hardware. We need more points of data on splatoon - yeah, it could go up or down. "A" games need the potential to break 10 million - maybe even more than that. |
In that case, a lot of these games move down to C-Team.
- Mario Party does not sell 5 million units. It had a breakout on the DS and 8, but those are outliers. On average, Mario Party sells 2 million. The 3DS games should've at least sold 3 million for me to believe that's possible imo, but Mario Party has turned to shit since Hudson left. Series ain't getting 5 million ever again.
- Yoshi sells 1-2 million. First two games sold the best, but even then couldn't break 5 million.
- Fire Emblem sells like a million. Awakening was a one hit imo (and that sold 2 million)
- Kirby games as of late haven't even got 2 million. Even the DS games couldn't break 3.
I would argue Luigi's Mansion for being a Gamecube one-hit wonder, but eh. Let that one pass ;)
