>>45463063>They still make more money than making a single game that would only sell a few more million at best, dumbassio.Let's take a look Gen 4 for an example of sales, actually
>Total Gen 4 sales: 37.99 million copiesNot bad, let's see some other games that came out on that generation of consoles.
>Wii Sports: 82.9 million copiesThat's a bit unfair since it came with the Wii, let's check some Mario titles
>Mario Kart Wii: 37.38 million copiesWow, barely less than Gen 4. If you count the budget for developing 3 titles instead of 1 the net profit might change, I dunno how much more a Wii game costs to develop compared to DS ones.
>NSMB: 30.8 million copies>NSMB Wii: 30.32 million copiesYou could say that's significantly less than Gen 4's total sales, but NSMB as a franchise also has the advantage of some engine and tools carrying over as well meaning it has a similar advantage and strategy as Pokemon. If I were to combine them like Pokemon, it would end super badly for Gen 4.
