| BraLoD said: As far as you are right, both games don't even share the same systems, there is one big point: marketing. It doesn't matter that both games won't have any kind of direct competition between them, GTA VI will be having a marketing monopoly, every single big media vehicle will be talking about it and that's it, that's the biggest reason pretty much every other game will try to avoid it, even if they are from different genres entirely, products need marketing, and even as Mario would be 100% fine in the long run, Nintendo games have exceptional sellig lasting power, it will be completely ignored when it releases, and there is no reason anyone would want that, marketing has a lot of power. |
If Nintendo dropped 3D Mario the same day as GTAVI, I’d imagine it’d probably only benefit Nintendo. It’d be like Barbenheiner, Doom X Isabella, and SpiderMan2 X Mario Wonder— Nintendo piggy-backing off GTA with their own juggernaut would definitely get people talking about it. Plus, if you’re already planning on going to the GTAVI midnight launch, might as well pick up a copy of Mario while you’re there (if you are among the rare few who are in both the 3D Mario/GTAVI crowd).
