I'm not so convinced of Mario Party or NSMB, but yeah Let's Go definitely gave a push. I guess I just feel like Smash was the single biggest factor, particularly in terms of giving a long-lasting lift to the baseline. I mean it's one thing to spike sales briefly, but to raise a system's baseline in the long term requires a true megaton like Ultimate. |
I agree Smash was the biggest single contributor but i think you are underestimating Mario Party & NSMB.
Most people dont buy a system for a single game so when somebody who is considering getting a Switch for their family sees a handful of highly advertised, family-friendly simultaneous 4 player games like Smash Bros, Mario Party, 2D Mario & Mario Kart, it can really go a long way to convincing them to get it.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
