rayman sold in the same level as the ps3 version and it's 13x bigger installed base, the same for sonic all stars racing transformed. lego city - 750k, zombi u - 660k, monster hunter tri - 500k

Wii u owners buy 3rd party games, unless you want to say ps4/xone owners don't buy third party games, it's hipocrisy. because out od the top 10 it's pretty similar for the 3.

yes you named the only 3 third party games that sold over 500k  on wiiu, now compare that to ps4 thirdparty sales, keep in mind the wiiu has been out for a year longer.

You do realize that's completely irrelevant, right? you are only pointing that in general, 3rd parties do better on others. do better on others =/= not selling on wii u. I pointed they do sell on wii u, wich is the thread's discussion point.

take a look at wiiu top selling games,  even the biggest franschises are flopping, and people wonder why third party dont support the wiiu.
