Ha! There is some justice with the Wii U version being on top.

If anything, this justifies Ubisoft's decision for a simultaneous release, because otherwise the other versions would have bombed even harder.

Exactly, I was going to post something similar on Eurogamer... the PS3/Xbox sales are only just uder the Wii-u version and combined would have probaly sold more than the Wii-u (and then when you add in the Vita version when its released).

So by combining platforms they have probably sold double what they were going to if they had stayed on the wii-u only and thats before any Vita sales. It totally justifies their decision to wait imho.

I guess the only argument given might be that more Wii-u purchases would have been made had it been released when it was supposed to rather than later. But i am not convinced that it would have been massive just looking at recent Wii-u single platform exclusive games.

but how do you know what it would have sold back in Feb? WiiU had no games at that time and so Rayman had zero competion, now it has to compete with Pikmin 3, Wonderful Bomba and the rest of WiiU's holiday line-up. not saying it would have been a better idea but its possible.

 

oh and fun fact, it IS WiiU exclusive... in Japan 0_0

We don't know either way.... but it's selling more than the previous version so thats a plus.

Pikmin and Wonderful 101 have both sold pretty poorly right, so they are not really providing competition.

At the end of the day, they didnt release it, other wii-u games that have been released on the whole have done very badly... i have no reason to think that Rayman would have done any better on a console that had fewer hardware sales back in Feb than it would on multiplatform now.
