Ok. Don't know what it's like in the US but in my region in Europe the e-shop only lists the weeks highest selling games, not the all-time best selling games.

Do you mean to say that WW is the 11th best selling game so far on the e-shop?



go back there, where you see it say best recent seller, you can change the options!

Ok, thanks! I'll check it out.



It's behind Trine 2? Then no, it didn't sell much.

It released previously on the PS3, 360, and PC.  When you take into account a portion of owners own it on another console, another portion who don't do digital downloads, a further portion of owners who can't do digital downloads because they have no memory left because they got the basic Wii U, then yeah, not very much. 

That could be entirely wrong though.  That's just on my opinion on how it may have sold.

Well at least Trine developers are happy with sales on Wii U eshop while they aren't happy with XBL/PSN sales.

"I can't disclose sales numbers as per Nintendo's policy (not that we'd be the first in line to do that anyway), but we are happy with them. And by contrast we are not happy with the XBLA/PSN numbers"

"Anyhow I'm fairly confident in saying that Wii U will be our best console platform. Whether it's the "launch effect" or eShop's better visibility, or the general quality of the game and the great word of mouth - thanks to everybody! - or sheer luck, I don't know - but we'll take it. "

You are right... That is just your opinion. You didn't even attempt to type it into google to do any research.

so its just your opinion? I remember reading somewhere tht Trine2 developers were happy with sales, dont have numbers so you cant say it hasn't sold well. No offense. Im not saying hey it sold 50k-100k but at the same time im speculating, you have no fact it didn't sell well

You have no fact it did.  My opinion without any sort of fact is nothing more than speculation as well.  But like I pointed out, it was already on PS3, 360, and PC, and the other Wii U deterents like the standard model Wii U and people already owning other consoles, my theory on whether it sold well or not is better than your theory of, the developers said it did better on the Wii U.

You should take this into consideration.  When the developers said that, the Wii U was a month old, so around two million sales at the time.  You also don't know if the Trine 2 developers are saying what they said as good sales in comparison to the Wii U's current sales, or if they were better than PS360 sales.  They could have just meant that Wii U sales were a higher  percentage of console owners to sales than the PS360.  We don't know if it even broke 10,000 on the PS360 combined, so better sales could be 10,000 with the WIi U alone.  It only sold 30,000 on PC according to VGChartz and that's not good either.

Heres the point, i just said its the second highest selling title which is fact, i never stated how much is sold at all. You clearly stated it didn't sell much, without proof. You never said "I dont think it sold much". You stated it like it was a fact. Seth Nintendo just posted they were happy wth its sales so it tells me you dont kno wat your talking about. I dont mind opinions but you didn't state one. You just bluntly stated it didn't sell well... Pls dont take it the wrong way but dont say things if you have no proof. Once again i never said it sold high. Just its the 2nd highest selling title
