Do we really need this right now? Just play 3D World already.

Never mind for a moment that we are talking about single day sales for a Nintendo console game in Japan but in what universe would another 3D Mario and Metroid (?) be a reasonable solution?

Both Galaxy 1 and 2 only averaged a million each in Japan on an installed base that was orders of magnitude larger and furthermore Galaxy 1's first week sales were only about 20% of total sales. Let's wait and see.

If i can reason through Pavolink's defeatism, it might be that if Nintendo's attempts at making games to sell consoles are going to fail, they might as well just turn on the fan-service and go turbo-niche, a la the Neo Geo.

Not really. That was still Nintendo in a red ocean mentality and with consoles that could at least play in that kind of strategy. An acknowledgement of the idea that nothing can really sell the Wii U would basically force them to write the console off entirely

Writting-off entirely will cause a lot of damage for the succesor. Just like the last 2 years of Wii hurts still in the Wii U. Also, some projects are enough far to be released in this console, like Zelda U, X, bayonetta 2, MK8, SSB4.

I'll agree if they'd choose to put some development teams already working in the succesor, like the Kouzimi team which already finished 3D World. A new 3D Mario for launch in Christmas 2016 will be the better.

 

Edit: More drama added to the op. I'm serious.

Don't Mario games tend to sell way less in Japan anyway?


They do. But this is not about facts or market trends that we have seen for the last 15 years, is about dooming Nintendo.

Or they could just release Super Mario 3D world for the PS4!

if it does indeed flopp then they should wait a couple of years before they release anything with a Mario in the title

we've had 4 Mario games already with two 2d and two 3D and that's not even counting Luigi

if people get too much of something they will stop wanting it no matter how good it is


on two different systems.

Let's face off. This numbers doesn't bode well. I mean, why do you need to know shipments? 20% first day sellthrough just points to one of the next two escenarios:

- People are not enough hot for 3DWorld to wait for later
- People doesn't care for Wii U and its games anymore

3D Land opened with 343k. 3D World expectations are half of those numbers. Even selling as high as 3D Land FW and shipments cleared with an 100% sellthrough will mean that first day numbers are 68k. Not hot.

Now, imagine 343k is first day/20% sellthorugh. Yeah, a 2m shipment. That's not going to happen.

or we could use some thinking and see that's just one day for one retailer, probably without download cards and definetely without download sales. media create will account the first three days of sales and we should wait for those actual numbers. and 20% of what, anyway?
