Forums - Nintendo - Will requiring Wii Motion Plus hurt Skyward Sword sales?

Basically what the title says.

Skyward Sword requires Wii Motion Plus, but only the limited edition will come bundled with it.

Will this hurt the next Zelda's sales?

 

I know a good chunk of the Zelda fanbase is very loyal and will purchase this to play it. But this could still potentially hurt sales, as many people who intend to get it will be put off by the requirement of purchasing extra hardware, either because they are casual players or because they don't love Zelda as much as to pay that littñe extra.

What do you think?

You mean my post or the fact that it requires WM+ and it's not bundled?

I would say no. Given Sports Resort's attach rate, i would doubt that there are casual consumers that have enough interest in Zelda but not enough interest in Sports Resort to not have a motion plus by now, or at least a statistically insignificant number

Core gamers will know to buy it separately, and its a non-obtrusive investment

Im talking about the fact that it requires WM+...

The game is being bundled with WM+ so if you (For whatever reason) don't have it you can buy that. Which I believe is $20 cheaper then buying them separate

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Do Not Click here or else I will call on the eye of shining justice on you. 

if you are casual or you don't love Zelda then you wont buy it even if it was bundled only and cheaper..



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

well it can't help sales that it requires a peripheral.

but I don't think it will hurt it... much as long as they show that there is a 60 m+ bundle.

I don't have motion plus D:.



With all the the shitty games, that sell so good, they have putted it in there's no way that you can't have at least one.

In the standard edition the bundle doesn't even it the standard price. Only haters will find an excuse to not buy it.

Nah. People that want to play Zelda will fork over a little extra cash to play it.

People used to fork over A LOT of extra cash back in the day to play it.
