Well I was looking at the vgchartz numbers when I made that comment but thats still kinda sad considering it sold only one million with an install base of over 160 million systems excluding PC... All I am saying is that it could have sold much more if they didn't make bad decisions

I don't see how it possibly could have sold "better" if they had left it as a Wii U exclusive, or just had really late ports to other platforms. I mean have you seen the sales of Wii U games lately? Only two games have topped 1 million units and they are both first party Nintendo games that have been in bundles. By far the biggest 3rd published party title is Zombie U with just over 500k, and that had a bundle as well as being a launch title. Even if the Wii U version would have sold double (on a smaller install base than when Legends actually launched, with less content) that would still only be 200K going by VGChartz numbers. Best case scenario the game would have sold half of what it did launching on all platforms.

If anything they should have never associated it with the Wii U at all as it has clearly hurt the sales of the game compared to Origins on all platforms.

 

I don't think anyone said that it should have been wiiU exclusive... All we are saying is that they should have sold it on the wiiU when it was ready and as they were getting sales from the wiiU, just bring it out 6 or so months later in september for the other consoles when those were ready instead of bringing it out all at the same time and delaying the wiiU version for no reason... People on the wiiU were really desperate for games so it would have sold more than it did now on the wiiU... I don't see how that could have hurt them
