Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
If that's the premise of mobile gaming, then TPC will be disappointed with Pokémon GO 😃
On a serious note, Nintendo hasn't spoken in detail of the monetization aspects of Miitomo and let's be honest, it's Nintendo's first mobile game on the market, they don't want a backlash. They will take the data, better their mobile offerings in the years to come and monetization too. The analysts aren't wrong in this case.
Cheers, mate.
Hyrule Warriors and Woolly World are million sellers that now misses the Wii U list. Any others?
Well its not like theres a justified reason to owning them or a coherent vision like with the other figures in the category (yet - I'm sure the Disney Infinity type game is coming). It wasn't exactly wrong to doubt amiibo as a "me-too move". That said no one could predict the sheer appeal of the collector nature to a lot of Nintendos fanbase.
My brother has basically every amiibo at his house. Thousands of dollars for dirt cheap to make toys. Its very profitable for Nintendo. Question is will there be fatigue as they keep pumping out more and more generations.
Well three of TPC's Pokémon apps have had to close this fiscal year, two of which opened this fiscal year. I think they're already seeing that harsh reality and I expect Pokémon GO to bomb hard.

3.38 in four quarters vs 3.06 in 3, so still one left.
The poster you quoted also may have been on about calendar year (jan through to dec) where wii u sold more in 15 than 14.
Based on the numbers from this thread...
Sorted by numbers (green = new gen, orange = remakes):
Notes:
- X/Y are currently the lowest selling new generation of the franchise, but they're still selling so things can change. That said, it makes sense considering the 3DS' much smaller install base.
- OR/AS are closing in on FR/LG and HG/SS, which is surprising to me considering that generation wasn't nearly as popular as the others.

Not in the 3DS' strongest market, Japan, it was Q3.
A lot less significant saleswise but Australia was Q3 as well.
I agree that 15/16 Q4 numbers will be much lower, however.

I don't have high hopes for Pokémon GO either but we'll see, can't blame them for trying.

Its not about dedication. Its about smaller choice. Beggars cant be choosers basically. Back on SNES or GC, you could have reasons to not buy Mario Kart, because maybe you had other games to play.
The thing is that we're now at the time when many adults exist whose first game was Ruby & Sapphire when they were kids.
Let that sit in
And people called me crazy...

Hope people understand that Splatoon will sell MINIMUM 6 million LT. No way for sell less than that.
Probabily between 6.5/7.5 million[/QUOTE]
nx and a possible nx version is going to make that not happen later this year or early next year. 5 million, sure, but 6 million doesn't happen without a lot of borrowed time.
Oh, right, I didn't notice there was no data for Q4 2015.

People don't buy Mario Kart because they have Wii U's and need games for it.

I welcome our new squid overlords.
Seriously though, I'm ecstatic that Splatoon sold so well. Game is fantastic. Can't wait to see how they build the IP next on NX.

I really can't see an NX version of this game coming out. With the "projected" power a new console gives, I'd rather have that Splatoon content spent on the sequel.
What I don't get is why Mario Party 10 isn't mentioned among the million sellers for the year. It's currently at 1.65M and it released very late in the last fiscal year. Did it really sell 0.65M during the first release week?
Erm, people don't buy games just because they have no other games to buy. People sell consoles for that.

Not even that. I was in high school when Diamond and Pearl came out and I'm 28 years old. Let THAT sink in.
I think what many did miss is the possibility of enthusiasts/collectors gobbling up amiibo figurines while they focus too much on how it'll sell to kids who may not know a lot of these characters.
I think fatigue will come into play when we see the same franchises getting the same figurines over and over again. There's just too much Mario amiibo you can spit out before the target audience find something else. They still haven't touched the potential of Pokemon though.
It would have shipped that much WW.
Glorious, thank you so much.
I have a feeling XY will overtake BW when all's said and done. That being said, BW2 is surprising to me. Sure, it's in line with other updated entries but the fact that it had two versions should've propped it up a little.
The only positive story in this report is the high sales for some Wii U games. Especially Yoshi is surprising (as Splatoon has reached since long time the mega hit status). That also makes the popular theory that Nintendo should move all the Wii U games to NX look very stupid.
Otherwise the Q3 results are quite average, mainly because the games line-up was average , if not bad. And there were no big promotions done for holiday either.

The issue is that it's unlikely to attract whales as opposed to the rate of conversion.
I dunno then. Maybe it's just for the 9 months.
They're not making an NX version. We'll most likely see a sequel in late 2017.

earnings was lower than predicted according to this article: http://venturebeat.com/2016/02/01/nintendos-holiday-quarter-earnings-and-revenues-fall-short-of-expectations/
I still think it is amazing that they are not in the red since they are supposed to release a new device this year and they did not have a big game for the holiday.

Even a sequel might not work at all like the current Splatoon. It might not even be a team-based online shooter. There are many ways they can evolve in the squid universe using the ink mechanism.
Everyone would be forced to play Mario Kart, since the other 2 games wouldn't work?

Probably has a chance to get re-released on the NX (be it home console or portable) to get a second chance, just like Xenoblade got released on the Wii U and n3DS.
This game must have cost some serious buck for Nintendo.

This isnt what I said. I said that there's no other choice to distract you from buying it. Sometimes, there are multiple appealing games and you cant afford them all. Here, you get one appealing game every 3 months at best. So the choice is easier.
That's ridiculous. The sales for the games are all over the range and there is no real pattern of evergreen games selling more during droughts. Or less when other big games are released.
For the whole year, yes. For Q3 I would say also Wii U underperformed (hardware wise).

I think XY would have sold more if ORAS didn't come out so soon after it. Not much more due to 3DS install base, but still, enough to overtake BW.

Smash Bros. is now officially bigger than Street Fighter.
Smash is around 38.4 million versus Street Fighter's 37 million

Fucking hilarious if true.

You're mistaking what you want with what is likely actually happen again.
Go is TPCi's first meaningful stab at leveraging the brand on iOS. Ports of F2P eShop games and half-arsed dress-up apps aren't anywhere near the same level.
