| Nautilus said: Animal Crossing?Smash Bros?An actual new MK?A 2D Mario game?A new IP that could catch on fire just like Splatoon?People also forget that Zelda never was an 10 million seller, it just that it was always a critically acllaimmed franchise, but not a super big system seller. The problem is that, the smaller franchises also moves consoles.There are people that also only care for games like FE, Donkey Kong, F Zero, Golden Sun(keeping the hope alive!) and so on.So while those games alone cant match the appeal of the bigger franchises, they togheter can surely have the same strenght in terms of sales simply because they appeal to a huge audience.And they also increment and diversify the library, which by itself also convinces people to buy consoles. Plues there is also alot of people that want to buy a Switch for games that already released but didnt because of availability, time(adults dont have that much free time) and most important of all, budget.Price drops, in terms of sales, is as important as a big hitter like Pokemon. So yeah, there is stil a billion cards that Nintendo can play. |
The Zelda franchises has 82,5 Mio sales so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises
Mario Kart and smash werent big enough to sell many wii us, why should they sell switches? Same with 2D Mario. Other then for the 13 Mio Wii U owners (most of them will already bought a switch btw), mk8deluxe was a brand new game.
