Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii U games showing good legs

Checking the database I found some of these:

The wonderfull 101, AC4 and rayman have sold 25k, 24k and 22k respectively, so far in 2014. that's interesting because if they keep those weekly numbers and have spikes along Wii U's hardware spikes after big releases and holidays, we should be seing rayman over 500k ltd, AC4 and TW101 over 400k ltd by 2014 end.

aside from TW101, those are great figures for third party games. It really shows ubisoft is making a mistake with watch dogs delay on wii u, since it already has more preorders in US than AC4 US launch for wii u.

There are many other good performers. MH3 is on it's way to cross 600k ltd, lego city and pikmin3 should top 1kk, zombi U can top 800k, wind waker could top 1,4kk. just dance 2014 and skylanders swap force already passed their predecessors and could both cross the 400k mark. even Batman AO, wich is slower, should pass it's predecessor and get around 250k at years and.

The biggest surprise is that TW101 may leg out to good numbers in the end, maybe we get a sequel. Your thoughts on the subject?

Not really. Games don't usually triple their first 2 months of sales, ACIV will top out at 200k. Did we ever get 101 shipments???

Ubi are making the right decision with Watchdogs. It's their next 8m+ selling franchise (that's what they're hoping for) they shouldn't be worrying about a sku that is gonna sell 50k - 200k.



 

Which ones and what kind of legs are you expecting? "Good legs" is as vague as can be, what kind of numbers are we talking here?



and lol at ZombieU at 800k. No. That thing didn't pass 400k.

NPD and Mediacreate. I know it was bundled in Europe but sales there are so low I can't really figure out what it sold.

But going by Ubisofts comments I can't believe this did anything spectacular, especially not anywhere near 800k. These type of titles drop off a cliff they don't sustain legs.

Probably Ubisoft. We have it at 640K right now.

It is beyond me why you think ubisoft is right by disrespecting their nintendo consumers. They aren't even gonna lose any special date if they release all versions a little later. and it will sell far more than that. 50k, seriously?

And AC4 is tracking ahead of AC3, wich surprise surprise, is already at 230k and on it's way to reaching 300k (triple of it's first two months).

I was hoping for a press release or something because I don't see how VGC numbers could be 240k off.
