i know the wii u sales are dissapointing, but i'm not convinced these ports are even gonna be worth it. Kind of reminds me of the whole Epic Mickey 2 thing.

Why would it ?

Epic Mickey was Wii exclusive, Rayman Origins wasn't.
Epic Mickey was a good game, Epic Mickey 2 wasn't and I don't see how Rayman Legends couldn't be a good game.
Epic Mickey sold well on Wii, the PS3 and 360 versions of Rayman Origins sold more than the Wii version.

I don't see any correlation.

Now if you compared Epic Mickey to de Blob....

Well looked at De Blob and Epic Mickey sales.

Both "original" games sold very well on Wii.  Like 1 million and 2.8 million respectively.

Then looking at #2 for each game, which moved from being a Wii exclusive to being on every platform.  The sales were about half the total of their first games sales on just the Wii.

Never played Mickey 2, the word of mouth of how bad it was made me pass.  So it's tough to say why the sales were worse.  Was it because Wii owners felt ripped off cause it was no longer exclusive?  Was it because game was just bad?  Was the lackluster sales on ps360 because game was bad or cause people don't like jumping into #2 without playing #1?  

Have never played either de Blob so no idea how they copmare quality wise.  What do you think the reason is that the second sold so much worse than the first?
