Forums - Nintendo - Why Do People Think 3D World Is Selling Terrible

I think it's more to do with the fact that people thought this was going to be a huge system seller for the WiiU. Which it wasn't, the hardware bump has been minuscule for such a critically acclaimed title. It should have moved a lot more WiiUs, but now we're hearing reports about how the system only did 150k this month in the US. Of course that's just a prediction, so take it with a grain of salt.

The game is "fine" for the install base, but the Wii U system continues to struggle greatly and sales for all games including AC, CoD, and Skylanders on Wii U are down compared to the sales of the previous games for each of those just last year.

It is the downward trend of Wii U third party sales that is most concerning.

Because it is on one of the worst consoles conceived.

Stopping kidding yourself. For a Mario game, it's selling horrible. On the other hand, Knack, for a Knack game, is selling amazingly well.

Which is terrible of course, lol.

Ohh a Sony fans bashing thread! Awesome!

We'll see how accurate are NA numbers shortly, hope NPD will shed some light. Also can't wait to see Wii U numbers there. And Nintendo fanboys trolling the Vita! So many things to look forward to, exciting times!


It's quite revealing that the premise of this thread is that 3D World is doing fine and you interpret that as a thread for bashing Sony fans.

It has sold to well over 10% of Wii U userbase.

Its selling very well. Its the Wii U that is lacking.

For context here's the post right before eFKac's:

"Cause the 3ds is owning the vita like no tomorrow to the point that Vita isn't even considered a competitor to the eyes of many so Sony fanboys need something else to bash... If the wiiU does well and Super Mario 3d world sells well... It would be too much for the hearts of Sony fans"

You don't think it makes sense that someone reading that post would conclude that this is a Sony fan bashing thread?  I mean you can get on his case for not reading the entire thread but you can't talk about how revealing it is he thinks this is a Sony fan bashing thread when there's someone bashing Sony fans just before his post.

It's not only Sony fans, Microsoft and apple fans do it too



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Calling Nintendo doomed offers a nice break from the Pixel Counting War.

No. And I don't think it makes sense that somebody looking at a nail would conclude that the entire house is made of steel, either. Neither the thread title nor the OP engage in Sony bashing, and the post you single out wasn't quoted or otherwise identified by eFKac. He used the word "thread" to frame his complaint, not the word "post," so I see no reason to indulge eFKac's persecution complex.
