2 New Super Mario Bros. Wii Wii 2009 Platform Nintendo NA: 13.04 EU: 6.36 JP: 4.60 Rest: 2.21 All: 26.21

 

There we have (some of) it. They are not very interested in New Super Mario Bros. U and already have PS3/360/PC for third party titles, so they will wait for more exclusive system sellers.


I don't buy that. WiiU has FIFA, that should do something in Europe.

Why would FIFA fans buy the Wii U version over the PS3 and 360 version (i.e. where all their friends are)?

Right, but the same applies to the other 3rd-party-multiplats and other regions. Given the popularity of football (for americans: soccer) in europe, it may explain a little difference, but the WiiU is doing much worse in Europe than elsewhere. And it has a FIFA. The Wii got no FIFA at all and did better than the WiiU. In europe, as the WiiU does the same at the moment in the US and nearly as much in Japan. So I'm totally missing the explanation, why it is special for europe, that the WiiU bombs.

@bolded: what are you on about? Of course Wii had FIFA, every system since the dawn of time has FIFA.
