I still just want to see Mario kart's actual sales without casuals. They inflated those sales WAY too much

 Nintendo simply no longer has the grandmas, grandpas, and soccer moms to inflate their game sales.

I am very suspicious.

Kart and Smash will do well, relatively speaking, but I don't think they'll be the almighty savior I once imagined. They'll bump the hardware, though it might be a really short effect.

Nintendo needs new evergreen IP hits that aren't platformers and they need them badly.

2015 will be a good year for the Vita, though I doubt we'll see more than a moderate improvement. I just want to see the numbers creeping upward at a steady rate. It would surprise me to see it last less than five more years.


I think Sony supports most of it's consoles for 10 years am I right? With 10 years I'm pretty sure the Vita can catch up to the 3DS, it's a lot of time to improve!

It will and by a huge margin, specially if you compare it to Mario Kart Wii.


Yeah. After N64 nintendo just became a console only for first party games. Wii was an exception because of its casual games yet it had limited third party.

Isn't the DS still supported?

vita, i love it, but no. just no

Mario kart 8 is not going to be the savior that some people think. Wii U is hardware that people dont seem to want. Its not a SW issue at least not that much im sure of it.

I don't think so, Vita will not have any life, the best it will sell in one year should be 5 million, which is kind of good, but if software keeps selling so bad, there's no life for it.
As for MK... Maaaaybe, but it looks so good that I believe this is the system seller it needs. It won't sell 10 million, but it will give some hope for the Wii U.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

limited 3rd party? how everyone was on board. Now limited GENRES? sure

I strongly doubt it. But boy would it be hilarious if it actually happens. I can see Mario flopping but no one gives 2 shytes about Vita. Not even Sony.
