I don't get the hype or draw to this game. Yes its a good action adventure game, yes I am happy that ninty helped them bring this game to light. But we are talking about a series that its best outing was on the PS360 and even then only managed sales of around 2M. And now its on the wiiU exclusively and I am certain it will not break 1.5M in sales.

What gives?

Only managing sales of 2m is underplaying a bit. 2m is strong for something that most people consider ''Niche''. Its a V good action game (what more do you need?), fufils a gameplay niche that isn't being occupied by any other action game (Essentially continuing Devil May Cry's style since DMC went in a different direction), has that unique Japanese flair missing in most game. 

I am not saying it didn't do well, hell demon's souls which was an exclusive on PS3 did just around 1.8M. I know thats great for niche titles. But demon souls went in the right direction, they went multiplatform, dark souls went on to sell around 3M or so. I just feel that all the attention and hype this game seems to get doesn't match its sales at all. Makes me think we are dealing with a very very loud minority.

On another note I think its also a very nintendo fan problem too, they hype evry game to infinity and back, but when the game is released they don't buy it.
