If you notice, I picked out only a few select titles for my list, there. The rest, I expect to continue to struggle, at least for the remainder of the year. They may see more activity early next year, but that remains to be seen. But FIFA and Just Dance are franchises that typically do well on all platforms in the UK. Skylanders is "the" kids game of the system, and thus is likely to become the game that parents buy for their kid with the system (other than Mario or Nintendo Land). Mind you, "moderately well" doesn't mean "massive numbers". We're talking somewhere around 50,000 for FIFA and Skylanders. For Just Dance, I expect 100,000, easily. 10,000 will be typical numbers for the other titles, like Tank Tank Tank. |
Well the year is now over, so let's see how Wii U software fared in the UK.
Fifa 13: 4,744
Skylanders Giants: 3,227
Just Dance 4: 11,870
It looks like even 10k was far too optimistic for Fifa and Skylanders. The best selling piece of software was Nintendo Land with 68,277, and only 6 titles managed to crack 10k. Unfortunantely Tank! Tank! Tank! was not tracked.
I'm still not sure how you thought those numbers were realistic considering the launch week. Why would Just Dance 4 magically sell 15x more than launch week for each of the last 4 weeks of the year. At least now it is definitely fair to say everything that was under ACIII flopped as well as some things above it.
