Uh, no, no and once again no. I dont get why peope still compare Wii to WiiU sales figures especially since we kno 99% of everything will be down.

Only let down is when people hate on a great 2D platformer cuz they didn't get Metroid :-/

Seriously the blind hate for SM3DW+DK boggles my mind

MKFW sales proves those two were unwanted games.

Oh wow really?

Wii games: DK 6mil SMG 11mil MKWii: 35mil+ Userbase: 102mil

WiiU games: DK 1.5mil SM3DW 5mil MK8: 7.5mil+ UserBase: 15mil-16mil *Estimates

They arent unwanted, 2mil+ isnt unwanted smh
