Dose Wonderful101 Sales -_-. I rented and feel bad as it is a great game.

The problem is Microsoft don't allow that. If a  game released previously on another console, then it can't release on a  microsoft console. That's why they had to push rayman on WiiU back to september

If I recall properly 3DS sales did not rise like crazy just because of Ocarina Of Time Bundle and retail copy. So we have to wait to see how that goes...

People can expect whatever they want, but expecting Wii U sales to double over 2 days is kind of silly in my estimation.  It would probably hit that with a full week, but not with two days of sales.  Systems don't sell without big games.  A price cut is nice, but look at the Vita and what that price cut did.  A price cut without software is meaningless.  You need a price cut + marketing + games.  The Wii U has the price cut, the games are coming, and now it's just a matter of marketing.  I think the Wii U will sell well in the long run, but if you're expecting a huge boost this week, than prepare to eat some crow.  Of course if I'm wrong, I'll gladly do the same. 

I expect 300k boost for both at least

Yes, theres Mario, DK, Zelda, Pikmin, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Party, W101 (kinda). And while some are unreleased that dosent stop people from not buying other games waiting for them. People do have budgets. And Ubi could easily have continued selling the game now with the larger install base and the price cut, its not like they cant ship more copies. IMO it was a poor choice, but thats just my opinion not fact. They could have released a Directors Cut version later on PS360 if they wanted, put the extras as DLC on WiiU

Considering even nintendo family friendly titles without Mario are having trouble cracking 1mil, it looks like Ubisoft made the right call. Rayman Origins sold over 2mil, and the wii made up the smallest chunk of the console sales. When Ubisoft originally announced it as exclusive they probably didn't expect the wii u to perform as awfully as it did so far this year.  Their heavy wii u support didn't end up helping Ubisoft much as all it's wii u ports crashed and burned, and zombieU was not profitable. Really can't blame them for trying to prevent another game from being unprofitable.

thats cool here i was thinking you had access to some alternate dimension where they did release in Feb and you were sure that it would have had better sales.

and FYI if they did some special edition of Rayman for PS360 you could bet your ass their would be people whining even harder than they are now.

I've already talked about GTA, so...

W101 disappoints, as expected with launching this week. Hopefully the strong upcoming library will turn things around.

Except that they dumped seven more months of development time into it. Seven more months of develoment costs and salary. Seven months in which Ancels team could have worked on another project (Hello BG&E2 and goodbye). Seven months the game could have been on the market by now, releasing in a better situation on a platform that didn't have a significant release in months. Not to mention that they alienated a bunch of people with how they timed and handled the whole multiplatform/delay situation.

It's a shame that your school knowledge of subtraction and addition isn't quite enough to accurately display interactions between events in the real world.
