Emily Rogers: “Wii U Owners Better Buy Ubisoft Games”

[Luck]

Seece said:

Rayman is currently WiiU's highest rated game (...) given there are 3.5m WiiU's out there I'm wondering what the heck these owners are buying?

It should have sold because it's clearly a great game, a platformer, on a new system where all the 3.5m people that bought it over the last 10 months would (should) naturally be seeking out new games. It's easy to see this is a game that can easily get lost i the mix on 360, but should shine on WiiU, it's exactly what the userbase likes and wants. It's like an amazing FPS with brand recognition doing rubbish on 360.

Just in terms of platformers, there is NSMBU, NSLU alredy available and a new Donkey Kong soon to be released. Also, Pikmin 3, the Wondeful 101 and Wind Waker HD released roughly in the same time frame as Rayman Legends. I could go on but I think you get the point. To me, all of those games are more desirable than Rayman.
