pretty average. feel like were gonna see this for months.


i agree, i actually hope sales dont even drop further. both GoW games will hopefully help PS360. i dont see anything helping WiiU much though

Unfortunately, with Rayman Legends getting delayed and becoming multiplatform, it definitely isn't helping the WiiU. Fortunately, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Lego City Undercover might be able to shift a few consoles. No new Nintendo 1st Party games coming out during this quarter is definitely not helping them either.

the biggest problem isnt that it lost exclusivity, its that it got delayed. even multiplatform tittles push hardware. Fifa and madden both pushed PS vita hardware for example. the WiiU needs all the games it can get, regardless of exlusivity. 

I believe both situations are negative though. The WiiU needs games that will sway audiences to get the WiiU. Rayman Legends, might not have been a major title but adding to a list of exclusives that could persue people to buy the system. With the announcement that it's going multiplatform, people could just as easily say "well. I already have a PS3/360."

The timing also ruins it because pushing the title back to September means that there is a longer wait time for a new game. According to Gamestops website, Rayman Legends was the only release scheduled for the rest of February.  The next game to release will be The Amazing Spiderman (nearly year old port) on the 5th of march and then nothing else until the 18th (lego city undercover). Followed by March 19th (Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Need For Speed: Most Wanted).

i completely agree with everything you just said. i dont understand these publishers strategy. they just wont release games after a few months of the systems release. 3DS, Vita and now WiiU. they just never learn
