Tales did ok but still no excuses on why it isn't on wii u. would have added at least 150k to those numbers.


Bad idea. Tales Fans were/are/will be on the Playstation platforms.

Ridiculous. The WiiU audience is barely buying Nintendo IPs, let alone 3rd party games.

Really? :-/

Kirby did much better than i expected, here's to hoping it gets 100k+ lifetime

Wasn't there an NPD leak on GAF that had Abyss under 200k for NA?

Cut sales in half, still good for a port no? 

Edit: Well new outside of japan, but still not bad imo

I'm not saying sales were bad. It's a good result, but VGC is notorious for overtracking JRPGs in NA. Pretty sure the two Xillia titles are just barely over 100k.

Yeah, its unfortunate. (tracking on jrpg for the west)

PS4 is doing well and Wii U continues to do badly. How sad. X1 numbers are just embarrassing now.

Supposedly 45k LTD in June 2012.  We have it 104k by April 21st.

It seems to have had a limited print run too, so I can't imagine it having the legs that VGC is suggesting it has had.

Like Auron says, they're not bad sales per se, but they don't exactly support the point you're arguing against.
