Combined SKU's, it's constantly outselling Mariokart

 

At least on consoles? It sells 14 thousand copies PER DAY on PC. As proven time and time again, most Wii U owners don't buy many third party games. Despite the larger installbase, ACIV sold far better on the Xbox One than on the Wii U

Combing SKUs doesn't give an accurate comparison of game sales, especially when one console has 7 million units sold and the other two have over eighty million.

Also, I just didn't know how well Minecraft was selling on PC; I wasn't implying that it was dead on PC but not on consoles. The PC sales are irrelevant to this discussion, aside from pointing out the fact that Minecraft is far from being dead, which we agree on.

Finally, Wii U owners are mostly hardcore Nintendo fans and avid gamers, and they would prefer to play games like ACIV on consoles that don't get lazy, low-quality ports. Minecraft is a game which doesn't require high specs to run, and the Wii U version would likely be superior to the PS4 and Xbox One version simply because of the better control options. Minecraft has never been released on a Nintendo console, and it's much different from the AAA multiplatform titles that do poorly on Wii U. We can't really know how well it will do until Mojang starts acting like it's actually interested in profits.
