"And i don't necessarily see big sales being a decisive factor" - Did you forget you said this? I'm certainly never going to forget lel. Additionally, your next line is only the first time this thread where you tried using sales in your reasoning. Can't blame me for not believing you when you say you don't take opinions over sales. "MK8 could outdo the original because the game was clearly hampered by Wii U sales. NSMB U wasn't. In fact, most of it's sales, if i'm not mistaken, come from HW bundles. Unlike MK8." - You say you're not making claims yet that is two right there. We can all clearly see the difference in sales between NSMB2 and NSMBU, and MK8 was also bundled as was every major Wii U game. I noticed you completely dropped the Sunshine point. That's definitely for the best.  |
I'm not being awkward. I'm just giving you what you ask for.
If you know, why should i bother, right?
In retrospective:
Me: I don't know if those numbers can be achieved, based on perception of game (other reasons, aswell).
You: What are you basing that on?
Me: On everything i heard from then, to today.
You: You just listened to forum goers, the minority.
Me: You are speculating.
You: See? As i said. Forum goers.
Understand why i didn't bother?
"And i don't necessarily see big sales being a decisive factor."
I said it before and i'll say it again: just because a game had big sales, that doesn't mean the success will happen again or even be higher - as you are guessing.
Wii Sports sold the HW. Did Wii Sports Club set the world on fire again? No. Not even by a longshot.
Looking at other examples:
Uncharted Drake collection PS4: 5.54
Uncharted PS3 (average of the 3 games): 6.18 (the third game sold a little better than this)
Elder Scrolls PS4: 3.13
Elder Scrolls PS3: 6.49
Batman: Return to arkham PS4: 0.62
Batman PS3 (average of 2 games): 4.91
All those games sold very well, are still seen as great games. But, did that mean that the port would allow for more or, at least, equal sales? No. In 2 of those 3 cases, the drop was actually quite significant.
I know MK8 was bundled... I said it too.
Thing is, MK8 spent way less time as a bundle and still sold more than NSMB U.
Btw, the claim that i wasn't going to make, was about the success, or lack thereof, of NSMB U Deluxe. And i still stand by what i said: i'm not sure that, taking everything into consideration, the game can reach those 10M you think it might - or will - sell.
