The Wonderful 101 Shipments Were Extremely Small

It's hardly the first time a company's sent a game out to die. Sometimes you make an investment, and figure out part way through that this game is a horrible idea (sales-wise), but you're too far committed to just pull the plug, so you just dump it out there and see what sticks.

Certainly what Sega did with Conduit 2...

No, I'm certainly not saying Nintendo are the only company to have done this (far from it).

It's just, the transition from showing it off everywhere under the sun last year and what seemed like a lot of internet hype to this completely under-the-radar launch worldwide has been really jarring.

I don't think they were really showing it off that much, though, were they? It wasn't one of the key titles for the E3 2012 keynote, and was rather glossed over at this year's E3 keynote as well, compared to Bayonetta which is still far out and got a whole new trailer.

Though that would not explain this even then, since this is Xenoblade levels of downplaying that's going on here.
