the online-maligned Paper Marios have sold more or less as well as TTYD (Colour Splash kind of balances out if you account for how few Wii Us sold), so they probably just don't see the point

as much as I agree with some criticisms of SS and CS, I think the reality is that how "bad" those games are for not having as many numbers going up isn't as loud an opinion as your favorite echo-chamber would lead you to believe

None of them have sold anywhere near what super paper mario did, though.

Meanwhile, you can put a decent chunk of damage for any given wii u game on the wii u itself, but causing your sales to be less than 10% of the supposed ideal is pushing things a fair amount. It's a bit hard to find a solid comparison, but I guess the best is probably Xenoblade? It was pretty much the ideal of cult classic until the switch came around. Xenoblade X sold about a third of Xenoblade 1, around double what Color Splash sold.

As for Sticker Star, it pretty much benefited from people buying it because they assumed it'd be good due to the name. It's a pretty common phenomenon. It's usually followed with the next game selling like dogshit, regardless of whether or not it's good, or even just better than the predecessor. Like Color Splash did.
