| padib said: I have no idea how to follow-up. Firstly I am not sure you even understand what I'm comparing. You probably think I'm comparing Mario Odyssey to NSMB when I'm actually comparing NSMB to MK8 Deluxe. With that in mind, what is wrong with what I said, and can you justify accusing me of trolling or was I right to say what I said about the level of intelligence of the people here? |
You did compare them though through your selling power comment and that's he flaw in what you posted is your assertion that 2D Mario doesn't have more selling power when nothing of the sort is indicated from the sales numbers nor can you make a declaration on one particular case, NSMB is either selling better in each quarter than SMO or matching it and that's on top of the 5.8m it sold on WiiU, in total this time next year it would have outsold SMO. Lets start with NSMB and look at the quarter performances:
NMSB:
Jan - March = 800k
Apr - June = 800k
Jul - Sept = 900k
SMO:
Jan - March = 800k
Apr - June = 660k
Jul - Sept = 900k
Nothing here really shows less selling power over the 3D games in fact it shows the opposite in either matching it or doing better you bring up MK8D yet fail to realize it was a launch window title with a two year head start, NSMB likely would have outsold SMO by now had it also come out back then.
To be able to declare that 2D Mario doesn't have more selling power you'd also need multiple examples even if SMO did outsell NSMB the fact of the matter is SMO is the only 3D Mario game to get as far as it has in sales while 2D Mario has made that journey many times before and has again with NSMB in total already.
