First off people put that into perspective.

Wii U's 3% is on a userbase that was less than 3.5m.

Yet it beat consoles with bases FAR higher like 3DS, DS, and PSP. As well as another with moderately higher userbase and a base most people consider more friendly to 3rd parties... Vita.

Wii U is doing just fine for Ubi... when you consider its tiny base. If Wii U had the 80m PS360 have... it would clearly be similar or even greater.

Attach rates of new consoles are always high, and it's much less impressive when you remember that includes 3 exclusive titles one of which is the best selling 3rd party and 3rd highest selling game on the system. Vita performance is also poor so not exactly a high bar, I doubt Ubisoft will be dropping another exclusive on there any time soon. Wii has by far the largest install base and is still less than half the other platforms even with Ubisoft providing the number one 3rd party franchise (by a wide margin) on the Wii via Just Dance, so your argument doesn't really hold water there.

bold: for that specific time frame... where Wii is basically dead and its active userbase is far smaller than the raw numbers suggest. Plus Wii got pretty much just one game. It did not get all the AAA titles Ubi makes.

And yet Wii share grew YoY by 3% the same amount as the Wii U did total... And if we look at single platform sales Just Dance is bigger than Assassin's Creed
