I know we already had this conversation before, but your points make even less sense now. You say it appeals to a niche part of the market - "gamers" - but Nintendo games have a much wider demographic than any other and beyond that "gamers" take up a majority of the console market. And then you say it wont sell to the general gamer. What?
Nintendo have so many successful franchises that sell widely different to the point that people pit games in different tiers. Even though this is logical it often goes to the point of ridiculousness - like when people said Prime 4 was "too niche" to be made, or that Zelda should have been Holiday title because "its not that big" or when people thought only Pokemon could save the Switch. Pokemon is probably Nintendos most consistent selling series but honestly people forget that Mario Kart and Smash bros can do about the same as pokemon. Both franchises have had an increase in attach rate and will probably sell 13-15 mil depending on if they are original games or not. Add to that Zeldas market share increasing to 9-11 mil, and it is very possible animal crossing and a 3d mario will meet Pokemon. Splatoon 2 is also debatable.

What are you on about, sales of Smash, Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Tomodachi, Splatoon and so on highlight that outside of Pokemon their IPs are anything but niche and as far as price goes the market has shown it's not too high regardless of the opinions of people on forums. The sales have shown it has grabbed the attention of the general gamer just fine. |
He says stuff like this consistently. I d9nt mind an... artistic approach to the word niche but this is too far
