Which will sell better?

WiiU Holiday 2014 25 39.06%
 
WiiU Holiday 2015 39 60.94%
 
Total:64

It's all about quality and not quantity. Bayo 2 and smash both got over 90 on metacritic. The only one that may be able to do that is mario maker.

Given the graphics and development time for starfox, it seems clear that that game will sell mainly on nostalgia.
FFV and Xeno X are both niche japanese game and I doubt they will sell a lot (xeno x may be big if it gets great marketing though). Yoshi and Mario tennis will sell moderately well, but they are both clearly small spin off series compared to smash. Animal crossing is also a free title, so how will you measure the "sales" of that?

Ultimately mario maker is the only "big" title of that list. Having zelda would have mitigated this issue, but it didn't have to be zelda, it could have been metroid or a new IP

I also don't know why you are limiting it to holiday 2014 to 2015. Adding in mario kart 8 and Donkey kong tropical freeze clealy blows away this year's releases

In this case, it's not all about quality though. Bayonetta 2 was one of the highest scoring games last year, but it didn't sell fantastically and it didn't really move systems at all. Star Fox and Xenoblade will almost certainly do more, despite scoring less, and that's due to marketing/nostalgia.

Animal Crossing is getting a retail release that's bundled with amiibo figures and cards, so I'm fairly certain that will be tracked.

And your last point is just an opinion.

I see more :

 

Star fox zero 70 because of big disappointment

Mario Maker : 80-85

X : 80-83 around the same than xenoblade 

Yoshi difficult to say, like fatal frame 

 

But it will sûre be far from 2 +90 

Like the last two Platinum+Nintendo games? Oh wait.

And Xenoblade had a 92 metacritic. You seriously didn't even bother to check, making your entire opinion invalid.


You make your opinion invalid by comparing Bayonetta and W101 to Starfox, not made by the great side of PG. There is a reason why everyone is disappointed

My mistake, i always remembered it was 81



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

From what the press is talking, Star Fox is far from a dissapointment.

And Xenoblade had a 92.


Who ?

"The great side of PG" what the fuck does that even mean? Bayonetta and W101 weren't made by the same people. And the only people who are disappointed are the ones that didn't give a shit about the game to begin with. You clearly haven't read any impressions on the game's E3 demo.

Yeah, it is your mistake.

It means not the side who makes games like Korra, and anyway, PG doesnt really have a creative role in the game, they are just here to help to complete the game : "This is a game that we've developed internally up until now, but because we do want to bring this to market very soon, we are looking at some potential partner companies that we can team up with." However, Miyamoto also assured fans that he "will be directly in charge of the project," regardless of what other studio Nintendo partners with.

I read, and i can link you to some impressions, well not in your language i guess, but link me some good impressions because all i see since this announcement is very bad impressions from the press or the gamers



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

I'll take the bet if no one's taken it:

Mario Maker + Yoshi + Fatal Frame + Starfox + Xenoblade X + AC + Mario Tennis sales smaller than Hyrule warriors+Smash+Bayonetta + Captain Toad tracker


Pretty sure Smash alone will sell more than atleast 5 of the 2015 holiday line up games combined.

Yeah, it is your mistake.

And the game is made by the director of Bayonetta 2, that was confirmed.

Unlike the other games I mentioned, I am highly unsure about how Xenoblade X will perform. Given its predecessor, futuristic style, and developer, I do believe this game has insane potential. However it is releasing right after fallout 4, and fallout clearly has more hype and a more technically impressive world going for it (a problem that the wii u has created for the game). Bayonetta and smash however have are most certainly over 90 scoring games, there is no debating that
