The fact that Odyssey is 2x Galaxy's sales and still selling further shows the point. And it's not like there's an argument that what I said isn't true haha, everyone knows a lot of the Wii audience were non-gamers. Galaxy's sales really makes that fact obvious, and Luigi's Mansions sales beating Galaxy's, and with plenty of time left to keep selling, just really drives home the fact that Wii's userbase was significantly non-gamers while Switch's userbase is a more traditional blend. |
You can't really draw a linear comparison because for one 10m back then was way higher a milestone back 16 years ago than it is now sure it's an exceptional mark now as well but only a select number of games would cross that mark back then as apparent in his point in that only COD and GTA could stand up to it on PS3, Galaxy's sales really do the opposite of what you're implying here tbh because the sales are in line with the 3D Mario series average. A lot of the sales increase for SMO can be attributed to Switch being present in two markets (Home and Portable) more so than what you're implying about the Wii's userbase.
