well its just not very clever to make games where the main audience on your console isnt interested in, if you could do alot better without changing to much.

Games like Bayonetta 2, Devild Thirds, XBX and co. I dont say this games are bad. But wii u owners mostly arnt interested in this games.

 

People get the wii u because of the typical nintendo games. Thats pretty much the reason. Just check the wii u sales on games. Mario Kart, Smash, Mario 3d Wörld, Zelda is what people want. On 3ds it is Pokemon (most sucsessfull game) and Mario.


It also isn't smart to only make games for one group.  They are trying to support a hardware platform and have to try to expand their user base by making games that appeal to different audiences...

Do you really think this will work?

People who are interested in those games are mostly on ps4. The number of people who get 1+ console each generation is very very small.

Typcial Jrpg fans wont get a wii u just because of xenoblade. They will get the ps4 for FF15, KH3, Persona 5 and much much more.

First Person shooter fans wont get a wii u for devils third, they will just buy any other of the dozens of fps on xbox one/ps4.

Actio fans wont get Bayo2, just buy DMC and co.

 

Just brining 1-2 games for to cover each possible audience wont work. People arent interested in 1-2 games. Better concentrate on your strengh.

You don't grow your audience unless you can bring in new people.  Just making games for the same audience produces diminishing returns.

well the statistics prooves you wrong.

 

How much consoles did sell bayonetta 2?

How much ZombiU?

How much will probl XBX sell?

 

 

And

how much consoles sold mario kart 8?

How much consoles sold Smash?

Even Mario Party increased console sales more then bayo2 did.

 

 

Even Splatoon got more preorders in japan as Xenoblade. 

Im pretty sure that XBX as an Pokemon IP with only little changes could save the complete console and give wii u in incredible boost. It already happens in the past, check the gameboy sales.

I dont think Game Freak has that kind of talent either tbh...


Open world talent is just a buy away, and we all know Gamefreak has the money.

But like I said, nothing like this is happening. A Pokemon game of this scale on the NX however? I'm 99% expecting it.



If a pokemon game was like X with a huge world to explore, that would be one of the most epic things I`ve ever heard. That game could sell like crazy I think. x D

I doubt it. The handheld versions are so much cheaper to make and makes them so much money.

on the other hand nintendo made xenoblade x which development costs would be on a same high level and sell even worse

They've been getting much more expensive with every passing generation. The guys at Gamefreak aren't just some passionless money making machine that only cares about the bottom line.

Even then. There's an argument to be made that such a game could make them even more money. Like GTA V amounts of money. If any frachise is big enough, it's Pokemon.

exactly what im thinking

 

its really one of the only way i can imagine nintendo coult still save the wii u. Thats why i cant understand they throw away this potential with releasing XBX instead of the pokemon game. 


Really, a Pokemon game with a 400m^2 big open world (skyrim is 50m^2). It would do sooo well. Beeing able to fly on urself in the whole world on pokemon like charizard. This really would save the wii u. But XBX (which does mostly the same -> game mechanics whise) wont help the wii u much at all. How many wii us does it sell in japan first week? 50k? Nothing....

Yeah, but there was honestly no chance in hell that Monolith was ever making a Pokemon console game. It's just not happening. The only reason I think the NX will have a game like this is because of my it will have enough power (at least 360 level for the handheld) and my prediction that it will share a library between the handheld and console.

I do, however, have hope that Monolith will be aiding Gamefreak in making this game.
