Would Nintendo rather have all the indie titles on Switch or a game equivalent to Wii Sports? The impact of Wii Sports is astronomical and while it is only one game, it is a game that is more massive than almost every game on Switch's library in combined. It is unfair to say, "Switch has more games and they rate higher (people's opinion) so therefore, Switch is better" when nothing on Switch compares to one game on Wii. And then on top of that game, there was also Zelda, Mario, and Metroid. If Nintendo had that kind of massiveness today, people would call it, without a doubt, the greatest first year ever. It is very simple. Wii has a slight edge over Switch. While Donkey Kong, Wii Play, Big Brain Academy, and Pokemon all reviewed poorly, how did they sell? See, different numbers can net you different set of facts. |
Donkey Kong sold less than a million, Pokemon around 1.5 and big brain over 3 million. Wii play is the only one out of those 4 that sold insanely well, which is partially due to it coming with a new controller. It's hard to compare sales of switch and Wii games at this point due to none of the switch games even being a year old yet. While every Wii game has had years of sales
If we're going by sales than the switch is doing great. Zelda on switch will be the best selling in the series. Mario will be the best selling 3d Mario ever. Mario kart is a bigger seller than everything except Wii sports. Splatoon 2 has sold more than most of the games you listed.Metroid isn't a high seller. Most of the switch games listed are likely to outsell most of the Wii games listed. So not only does the switch have better critical reception but it will likely have better commercial reception.
