Actually Mario Kart 8 is performing better than Mario Kart Wii if look user base, on other hand Wii Sports have biggest drop but again Wii U version is just HD port.

I dont think its fair at all to compare sales of games from best selling Nintendo console ever with probably worst selling Nintendo console ever.

I've really never understood this argument.  It is basically setting up a situation where selling hardware is detrimental to this measurement of success.  You could end up with a hypothetical scenario where Mario Kart 8 sold more and the Wii U sold more, but that is somehow worse because you want to judge it relative to the user base.

I know the VGC numbers have some issues, but for the sake of argument let's use them in an example.

MK8: 4.43m
Wii U: 9.48m

MK8 sold to 46.7% of the user base.

Now let's take a hypothetical situation.

MK8: 5.2m
Wii U: 11.56m

MK8 sold to 45% of the user base.

So the hypothetical scenario sold more hardware and software.  Is it really sincere to say that the actual results performed better than the hypothetical just because it sold to a higher percentage of the user base?

To make it more fair... No Wii games allowed!



Can't wait for The Zelder Scrolls 3: Breath of The Wild Hunt!

My guess is Wii Sports and Wii Sports Club

Yeah, pretty much this (ignoring Esiar's post )



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Gears of War Judgement



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Figures like these are ultimate proof that smart devices have invaded the handheld space in a big way and is impacting the market hugely. That's just insane.



I really do want to hear about some that aren't just Wii to Wii U, but it seems no one can really think of any. XD
