Why would they put it on WiiU? The Nintendo core crowd will already own a 3DS and they clearly not interested in this game, putting it on WiiU would result in just as bad sales if not worse.


You can blame the bad sales partially on Capcom.

RE Merceneries only allowed one save file that couldn't be deleted.  After that point not many wanted to care for the Revelations. Even though the game is great.

 

Also WiiU fans would buy it if it had wii remote controls.

Look at RE4. Same crowd probably got it on GCN before.

this would only make sense if Mercernaries sold better than Revelations...which it didnt.

A person doesn't have to have purchased Mercenaries to have been swayed by the negitive PR that Capcom drummed up with it's pre owned value being nil, I had been planning to pick up Revelations on launch but after hearing what they did with Mercs I held off til just recently and picked it up Preowned. Gotta send a message with your wallet that on disc dlc and attempts on the used market wont fly.

clearly you are in the minority, because it doesnt change the fact that Revelations almost doubled the sales of Mercernaries, so obviously people were not that turned off by mercenaries that they didnt purchase Revelations. Maybe they just saw Mercenaries for what it was, a cheap cash in.
