Why? Which games are left? By that time the WiiU will have Mario 2D, Mario 3D, Mario Kart, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Pikmin, Wii franchises like Wii Party and Wii Fit. The other games are 3rd party, if you're refering to X and Beyonetta 2.

lol you really have no Idea what you're saying do you?

OT: feeding the momentum is better than having a big boom of sales as that gives them time to work on other projects and release them so there isn't a big drought

Metroid, Star Fox, F-zero, Mario galaxy, A new Zelda and many others that i can't remember now...

A new Zelda i understand, but Mario galaxy while i expect it to sell great, will already have it's fanbase on the WiiU as there will be 2 Mario games on the console by april 2014. Metroid and Star Fox are fun games, but do not sell THAT well.

Maybe the next Star Fox and Metroid could surprise us all...

I don't expect it, but nothing is impossible. Crazier things have happened. No one was expecting Wii Fit to be the big seller it became, so who knows? Maybe they can make such a game again.



The Wii U's sales would still suck because people have already made the decision as to what they're going to be spending their $$$ on this holiday season.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

no, please. Do you really want the video game industry to crash because Nintendo annihilates every other publisher?
that is not fair, not even me an old Nintendo fan.

No, the 8. gen war only start when the launch fever has ended. Even if Nintendo do horribly this holiday, they'll still win by destroying PS4 and XO momentum in 2024. 

Believe!

This is the second time i've seen you do this. It will also be the last time that you do it.

That much is obvious at this point.

On topic: Releasing everything at once would obviously increase the situation in the short term, but in turn lead to mid and long term damage, because going for many months without new games is poison for the momentum. I'd say the damage is far greater than the initial benefit, because every big new release increases interest in the hardware and the overall software library. Spacing this effect out makes it occur more often which is also better for the overall perception of the system. If it's regularly talked about in a positive way (due to new games people are playing), then additional sales are generated eventually.

Look at that great contribution, taking things out of context seems to be your only addition to the thread.



The only thing that can save it now... Monster... Hunter... FIVE...



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I can see what you were going for, you just screwed up the semantics a bit (plus it's highly unlike that Smash Bros For will be out by April. Late 2014 still has a lot of juice in reserve, even unto 2015). You also can't really count Wind Waker HD as the Zelda game, since remakes are not going to sell consoles, naturally.

Nintendo could do a tremendous job pacing all the games out next year, as far as the rumors and facts go (DK in February, Mario Kart in April, Smash in May or June, maybe Bayonetta in the summer? Then perhaps X (which is NOT a third party game, btw) and Zelda in fall). There's a lot still to come.
