Well it's nice to have these threads every time a Nintendo game flops but you should expand to other companies. Like when Sony or Microsoft games flop, that should spice things up a bit! Your threads are getting a bit predictable and monotonous!


Like this one, Anfe?

And I'm thinking in a harsh one on Xbone if Titanfall fails.

it did 200,000, surely that's a decent opening. The Wii U limited it obviously but so what? It's doing alright

But honestly i can see it doing 1 to 1.5 million in the end



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

How the hell did I miss this thread? Forgive my comment then, you are doing an excellent work!

I can smell that Titanfall thread already, so exciting!

It's frustrating to see this new Nintendo.

Lies. 15 years ago we got Majora's Mask, Prime, Prime 2, Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy. Now we get NSMBU and DK.

Nintendo "fans" really haven't supported games like Kid Icarus: Uprising, Pikmin 3, DKC: Tropical Freeze, The Wonderful 101, or Xenoblade in the way that these games *deserve*.

I think part of the issue is with the Wii they purposely cultivated and become comfortable with the idea of letting Mario/Mario Kart carry the load which was fine when they were making huge money from the Wii Sports/Fit crazes.

However now that those have died down, Nintendo's software sales look anemic because they basically create an entire console generation where they didn't bother to build other brands.

It's like a body builder who only works out his arms ... his build is going to be wildly out of wack.

I am talking about what lead to overall consoles. Most of the games Nintendo are putting out are great even by todays standards, but the crowd just isn't responding.



Some people misunderstand pavolink... He is expressing tough love for Nintendo
I don't necessary agree that Dk bombed - it will have decent legs and will get nice boosts during the holiday seasons. It will underperform relative to the series standards, but it will be a success in its own right like 3D World.

In my opinion - Nintendo has been far too conservative with their vision and software strategy with the wii u. The problem isn't the Wii U - it is Nintendo. The Wii U's vision has not been shown with the software shown so far - as they have been strictly new iterations of long standing franchises, and not to mention that the gamepad isn't integral (besides wonderful 101 and Pikmin). Nintendo is simply catering to their fans - preaching to believers. New ideas bring new excitement - they need software that excites xbox fans, sony fans and the mass market - they are limiting themselves with their current approach.

Hopefully, they have acknowledged this.
