Forums - Sales - So it's widely known as a fact that many Nintendo games have ridiculous legs. But here's the question that no one really bother to ask...why is this so?

21 Wii U (WiiU) 1.18 0.55 0.80 0.18 2.71
4 New Super Mario Bros. U WiiU 2012 Action Nintendo 0.70 0.29 0.47 0.11 1.58

 

2.71 mil hardware units sold with 1.58 mil PHYSICAL copies sold (this is excluding digital sales since I'm sure the game is available digitally).

That is more than half of the number of hardware units sold. If anything NSMBU helped elevate the sales to where the Wii-U is now instead of a less amount figure.

Again proving that Mario is massive appealing and if you dont want to compare NSMBU to NL (which is focused as the bundled game) compare it to the third most sold game on the system currently which is highly acclaimed to be a "Great" game and a NEW IP:

3 ZombiU WiiU 2012 Action Nintendo 0.17 0.13 0.03 0.03 0.36

Mario as a IP = Mass Appeal = Potential sales - even though its just a re-hash of a game that came out less than 6 months before it (i.e. NSMB2).

There's no point in debating with you - I've seen how you reacted to people's opinions ( how you got yourself banned as well from it) and how you attacked them for having their own view on a topic, so I'll just laugh at your petty attempts to downplay me even more (lol at questioning my education level - you are making yourself look better with each post l0l) than have a "Mature" debate har har.


Too late dude, I'm not having this conversation with someone who is so willing to plough through the list of fallacies as if it's a race. When you have learnt how the scientific method works, then we can speak. Until then your arguments are just filled with logical errors; errors you don't see as you don't have the necessary education to be aware of them. Here, hopefully this will explain it:

You do realize that the only reason anyone even bought a Wii U is for Mario.

if you can prove that you have become the worlds first mind-reader or conducted one of the most intense studies ever. I can just as easily say everyone bought a Wii U because they believe in the NWO.

I'm not having this debate with you. There's no point because you don't understand the foundations of a logical argument. It's like you're a blind man trying to argue what the colour blue looks like.

This is why Fire Emblem and Zelda do not have such good legs. Fire Emblem owners are game forum dwellers, and to a reasonable extent, so are most Zelda owners.

Plus, Fire Emblem is TBS (turn based strategy) which doesn't have a huge following besides Civilization.  I love TBS games though such as FE, Advance Wars, Civilization, etc..  I'm actually a little surprised how much demand for FE in USA right now.  Apparently, they didn't ship that many physical copies to USA and there is a shortage in a lot of areas.  I finally tracked down a physical copy but I know many that just gave up and bought it on the eshop (D21, Smeags, and a few others).  So for some reason Fire Emblem is more in demand now then it has ever been in the USA.

I like to think this helped a lot.

Well there isn't any other game worth buying. Can Yup imagine how much Wii U would have sold with out Mario? It would be worse off that the Virtual Boy.

Well I recon everyone who bought the Wii U did so not for Mario but to prove to the New World Order who is really in charge.

Dude, you are just guessing and asserting your opnion as fact...You've literally no idea why people bought the Wii U; you are just presuming it was for Mario.

I assume you have a perfect understanding then?

Why would I? That's not relevant to my point. Unless someone conducts a very indepth survey of all the Wii U customers, we can only speculate, at best, why people bought the console.

Well it makes a lot more sense than what you are saying. Most would agree.

I'm gonna keep responding to you the more you mention/respond or talk about me. You have said the @Bolded at least 4-5 times now and I'm just loling at that.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts but yes Mario is still mass appealing - even if you hate Nintendo and Mario you still have to admit the IP brand still is powerful especially considering it moved yes - it moved that many units by itself even though its a re-hash of a game that came out less than a year ago.

The numbers are there - this isnt even a debate anymore - I'm stating facts relating to the topic on why Nintendo games have ridiculous legs - yet you have more than 5 posts going off topic about how I dont have "Mature Logical debate".

Keep responding to me and I'll still keep to my "argument".


Actually a lot of people bought the Wii U just to play ZombiU.

And a lot of other people bought it just to play Batman again because of the Trailer for the Wii U having the awesome definitive version of the game.

There was also people who bought it for Nintendo Land.

I was surpirse that only 54% of Wii U owners actually bought it for Mario U at all.
