BotW & SMOdyssey smashed their respective series records when NSW still had a rather small install-base. It’s not the “smoking gun” that you think it is to say, “Well, NSW has sold 150mil.” |
Yeah, some times an entry in a franchise will sell more despite being on a lower selling console.
Zelda sold more on N64 than it did on NES, SNES, GB.
Smash Bros sold more on GC than it did on N64
Pokemon sold more on GB than it did on DS
Prime was the highest selling Metroid for a long time despite being on GC
Or look how 3D Mario, 3D Zelda & Animal Crossing only sold a little bit more on Wii than they did on N64/GC despite having 3-5x the install base
Higher install base gives a game the potential to sell more but it won’t make a game sell better on its own.
