As much as I was PERSONALLY disappointed in Pikmin 3, after waiting years for it, I would hardly call it "more or less a failure". It has sold over 750k copies, and that's just physical. It's probably sold even more digital, as all Wii games likely have, because Nintendo has really been pushing digital on 3DS and Wii U. Mean it could well realistically already have at least close to 1 mil. in total sales.
And even if 750k was ALL it had (which isn't the case), that would still be a respectable number, considering that it continues to have slow legs, and will likely get a boost from MK8 launch/bundle-induced Wii U purchases, as well as another boost next holiday season.
Like I said, I was let down by the title. It's a good game, but the lack of swarming, camera zoom and MULTIPLE save files really hurt it for me. But to call it a failure? No way. Game & Wario, you can call that a failure. Pikmin 3, at the very least, is a moderate success, all things considered.
