supper hippy but on the other hand there is a reason you hear bashing from EAa, its Microsofts bags of money and crony capitalism. I really cant believe there is another reason in the Business world to make a company your enemy without any reason.

And the internet would have us believe casual gaming on consoles is dead...

the reason Mario 3d world is not on number is, that Amazon is out of stock only market place seller have the game. Well at least one of the possible reason.

I agree with that too.  What is going to be interesting is the Star Wars games.  Disney and Nintendo have been buddies since the 80's and I don't think Disney is going to appreciate EA ignoring the Wii U, atleast in terms of Star Wars.  I don't know the exact number but they payed Lucas billions for it, and they are going to make sure they get every penny back and then some.   Battlefront 3 Wii U would be awesome.

Just Dance 2014 for the Wii.    I know its on sale for a good price to anyone who wants it but this had me cracking up.   A dancing game for the freaking Wii of all things is #1.   No wonder Ubisoft is the #1 3rd party company that supports the Wii U, the last thing they want to do is get on Nintendo's s**t list.

Why?  What is Nintendo going to do?  Forbid them from making games for the Wii U?  Not sure how that would play out as a bargaining chip.

No but Nintendo is very picky about what 3rd Party games they do market.  I don't know if you have seen the new Wii U commercials but they mention Rayman Legends in it, when they could just mention a 1st party game like Wonderful 101 or Pikmin.   On top of that companies want their games featured on the front of the e-shop, even if people just click on them for videos and info.   Monster Hunter, which is Capcom obviously, was front and center for a long time...theres a reason why you dont hear a peep from Capcom about Nintendo either.   Corporations tend to deal with eachother in a similar way to how regular people deal with business, just on a larger scale.


This is a well thought out answer.   Ubisoft and Nintendo do seem to have a very friendly relationship (for the most part).

Wow, I just checked it out and you are 100% right my friend.   That bodes well for my 1 million copies sold by the end of the year prediction.  The Sony/Microsoft people on here are going to lose their minds if this holiday the Wii U ends up moving a ton of consoles.  It is Christmas time and in terms of value, that Mario Bundle I keep seeing advertised on the VGChartz banner is really the best deal.

Nice to see a game not aimed at the usual 15-30 year old male demographic do well.

It's the only game I've ever seen advertised for Wii U on TV here too.

All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d. 
Dark Souls > Skyrim.

Thats true.  It's easy to forget that the shooter crowd, although a big chunk of the audience, isn't even the majority. Halo only has like a 12 percent attach rate, and COD is even only 20 percent at its max.  Someone else must be buying and playing these consoles.   Actually this is the #1 reason why I think everyone is jumping the gun about PS4 and X1 dominating this generation.  I get catering to your core audience but the Casuals are the ones who overpay for games that don't really cost much to produce.
