I love how people arbitrarily decide that games like Wonderful 101 and Sonic were supposed to move systems, and then conclude when they don't that no game will ever help the Wii U. Sonic hasn't been a system seller for years, tending to sell 1-2 million, with generally slow openings and long legs, generally as budget titles. Platinum's games have generally always sold mediocre at best. So, comparing those games to Mario 3D World is pretty silly.


I would say Wii Party U and Mario & Sonic Olympics seemingly bombing on the Wii U are probably far more concerning. Doesn't seem like that free Wii Fit U trial is doing much either. 

Nintendo has clearly bet heavily on these mini-game compilations to be Mario 3D World's supporting cast this year, and it looks like that whole formula is out of gas. Nintendo Land (underwhelming sales as the showcase Wii U title), Game & Wario (bomb), Mario & Sonic (looks like a bomba), Wii Party U (looks like a bomba in the West) ... not good. 

Mario 3D World doesn't have a lot of help unfortunately.
