| RolStoppable said: It's more that we want to spare you from future ridicule. If we go eight years back, we find people like you who called 2D Mario a fad, a series whose days were over. The argument that got made was that New Super Mario Bros. Wii had no chance to sell more units than Final Fantasy XIII in Japan; this became a comparison because both games launched within one month of each other. The reasoning was backed up by pointing to the sales of Super Mario Galaxy, so if that game couldn't measure up to sales of mainline Final Fantasy games in Japan, then what chance could a 2D Mario game have? After all, 3D > 2D, everyone knows that. Then the launch week of NSMB Wii came and it slammed in a safe 900k. By the time Final Fantasy XIII released, it was already a done deal that Square-Enix's game had no chance anymore. That is your future if you continue walking down that path. |
I appreciate you watching out for my "future ridicule" but ... I don't think I would ever have made a claim that ridiculous 
I don't think my claim now is that ridiculous ...
Besides, we'd have to see what the future holds for you to ridicule me. What if Nintendo doesn't make a 2D Mario?
