Dreamcast had nearly nothing, it's library was anything but "exceptional" aside from the reviewer/critic perspective ... (if the customers weren't convinced then that's all that mattered) SSB4 was about equal as far as critics go compared with SSB Brawl but that stops right there since there were much more who was convinced of the quality of the latter ... DKCTF obviously wasn't as good as it's predecessor, Captain Toad deserves it's rating as is and SM3DW just wasn't as good as SMG so all of these things factored into WII U's suffering hardware sales and when you don't convince your customers that's exactly what will happen ... WII U's hardware sales was more than warranted given the shit effort that Nintendo went through with it. Nintendo making SSB for WII U and not for Animal Crossing despite the fact that both would've sold more on their handheld counterparts was an amateur's mistakes but then you ignore the biggest elephant in the room which is the absence of the Wii franchise ... (Nobody let down the WII U down other than Nintendo themselves!) The always online DRM was fixed before launch and the price was fixed shorty thereafter but did their sales ever equalize ? Nope, the only explanation for that is because Sony somehow convinced it's customer base that it had a better library than the competitor and that's despite Microsoft's more aggressive deals ... This is getting off-topic anyways so let's leave it at that ... |
Well, I was gonna leave this, but seeing all this carry on between you and zorg, I'll pitch in too.
Just look anywhere in the internet, SSB4 is commonly regarded as better than Brawl. There are more people who like SSB4 better, than vice-versa.
And DKCTF is as good as its predecessor. Again, the backlash was because people didnt want retro to make another donkey kong.
Wii franchise was there. But just look at how Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, and wii sports club sold compared to their predecessors.
And no, Animal Crossing sells better on handheld, BY A WIDE MARGIN. NOT EVEN CLOSE. This is a fact that cant be disputed.
No the Dreamcast failed primarily because the shit sega pulled off with 32X/CD/Saturn and all. They lost everyone's trust, and the PS2 was on the horizon, so people just waited for that.
And their is a huge fanbase for 3D World. Its at 5.75 million copies shipped, second only behind MK8. It isnt higher only because no one bought the Wii U.
For the bolded, it was already too late. People already had a bad taste in their mouth's, and were done with the Xbox. Word of mouth goes a long way, and their are still many people under the impression that the One cant read used discs, and/or despise xbox now. People' s friends were more liklier to have PS4's, and as a result they were more likely to get a PS4. A snowball effect took place.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
