^Didn;t push hardware, sold far less than NSMB Wi, that's a flop

lmao!9 million is a flop for a game that would have probably broke more than even only selling a million? isnt it one of the highest rated games ever? so a game has to push hardward to be a success? lol i asked alot of questions.

The point of first party software is to sell hardware, doesn't sell systems its a flop

I wouldn't say it like that. Not all first party games can be system selling software, sometimes it's good enough to keep the existing owners interested in the hardware by fleshing out the library, so that they keep spreading the word.

In the case of 3D Mario platformers though, yes, those games are without a doubt supposed to sell the hardware and both Galaxy games definitely fell short of Nintendo's own expectations.

okay i didnt know it was supposed to move hardware but its still not a flop in any way.

Exactly. And how do you know it didn't sell hardware? My bro-in-law got interested in buying a Wii after SMG2. Don't make such idiotic assumptions.

Should Nintendo abandon the Fire Emblem franchise utterly, if we were to follow this line of thinking?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

ROFL, one person is not moving hardware, when a game releases, and there is a noticible and sustained bump in hardware sales, that's moving hardware



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

If its not moving hardware, its a waste of developer resources, a company has constraints, limited number of money, physical capital and people to achieve growth and higher profits, if its not doing that, then its resources are being wasted

You should start adding Donkey Kong Country Returns to your flop list.

Not necessarily, Its certainly not on the level of NSMB Wii as a system seller, but I'm fairly confident it moved hardware this Holiday season

How do we know NSMBW moved hardware? It was released during the holiday period, I blame the holiday. And of course silly goose, my bro in law moved that hardware baby.
 He moved it to the left, to the right, to the center and up above.

It did nothing of the sort. It didn't even maintain sells on level with 2008's December, and moved less software than did the original Galaxy. Obviously by your own defintion, DKCR is a flop.

Because of the record sales, that coincided with the release of NSMB Wii, as well as the monster legs on that game
