The Wii U had troubling sales metrics even from the immediate launch ... I don't think the Switch is anywhere near as successful if BOTW was "NSMB" instead. |
It’s like you didn’t read what I said, I specifically said unique entry meaning not another entry in the “New” series.
NSMBU was the 4th entry in 6 years and came only a few months after NSMB2. I’m talking about a title with a new art style and innovative gameplay that feels fresh and a big improvement over previous titles. NSMBU was a very good game but it had no wow factor.
And then there is also the fact about a massive post-launch drought. Switch would have also struggled if BotW was followed by a 9 month drought that ended with Xenoblade 2 in December.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
