How not really? Galaxy was a critically acclaimed Mario game on a system that got to 100m and sold less than a side series like Luigi's Mansion on Switch. 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. |
The reason the comparison is skewed is because it's actually the Switch, not the Wii, that is unusual in terms of software sales. First party games sold way more on Switch than any previous Nintendo system, the infamous "Switch boost".
It's not that Galaxy's sales are abnormally low, it's rather that Luigi's Mansion 3's are abnormally high.
