Hey, I'm not entirely convinced wii fit u is going to do awesome either. Stuff like that is 99% dependent on marketing anyway.
You need amazing advertising to sell people a 300€/$ console just to play the same stuff they already got on their Wii (and probably got tired of years ago).
i think we can all agree that nintendo did horribly with advertising. ithink there are still some ads that nintendo produces that are pretty good (NSMB2 in NA and the new Brain Age commercial for NA for example)
yes they need to do good advertising no doubt about it.
I´m talking about the console itself. And it doesn´t really make sense to compare one hit wonder casual stuff to established franchises with a gigantic fanbase.
how is wii fit a one hit wonder. the direct sequel sold roughly the same amount of copies (20 million)
also your gigantic fanbase game sold roughly the same as each wii fit iterations did (cod usually sells 20 million each year across platforms and GTA4 did 20 million on PS3 and 360)
