*Sound Of Rain said: First off, please don't generalize an entire fanbase. Secondly, most people knew that the XBO would get help from 3rd parties. Most of whom were saying it wouldn't are new to following sales. |
And when people say "3rd party games won't sell xb ones" it is an abbreviated form of saying "3rd party games won't sell Xb ones in sufficient quantity to make a substantial difference to sales relative to other consoles, and in particular Wii U 1st party will push sales more for Wii U." I've never seen anyone stupid enough to suggest blockbuster 3rd party games won't cause sales spikes for Xb one. That's just ludicrous, and to make a thread implying it is a widely held belief among Nintendo fans is disingenuous in the extreme.
I actually agree that 3rd party games won't do much for Xb one. And 470k vs 170s for Destiny is pretty good evidence to support that notion. The problem for Wii U relative to xb one is that 1st party games are doing less for Wii U than 3rd party games are doing for Xb one. So while the first part of the claim by Wii U fans is correct: 3rd party games won't help Xb one sales much, the second part (Wii U first party will keep sales above xb one) appears to be horribly wrong.
So the correct title for this thread is "Ok so 3rd parties are not really helping Xb one sales, but 1st parties are doing worse for Wii U."
