Releasing another game this close to GTA V and other heavy hitters? You earn exactly what you get. I still haven't seen a good explanation of why Ubi couldn't have released it on Wii U in March like originally planned, then brought it to other consoles later.

Apparently MS tells 3rd party devs to suck it if the game appears late on the Xbox360. Ubisoft perhaps overestimated the sales potential of Rayman on the PS360 at the time. As a result WiiU still has the best selling version of Rayman, but sales are awful compared to the two respectable sales of LCU and MH3U which were sold around the same time. With this move Ubisoft hurt themselves and the WiiU as a platform:(

they didnt overestimate anything. I seriously doubt that WIi u would have covered the combine sales for PS360, PC, vita. and its nto the best selling version. that goes to PS3

They did, this game is BOMBA. We'll probably see it in the garbage bargain bin for 10€ in a few weeks again (just like the first time around). Seems you are right with PS3 being the best selling version at 20k (!) though. Of course I have no way to prove it, but looking at the sales of Lego City Undercover and the western sales of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate I'm 100% sure this game would have whopped 40k sales in its first week this spring (which still would have been BOMBA territory at the time.) Oh well, at least the game is good.
