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.

Well its the games exclusivity that has so many people talking and understandbly so. It would be like if Dark Souls was xbox exclusive and not multiplatform. Playstations fans will be like WTF. And yeah, as you said the otherside of it is it being hyped as one of Nintendo's flagship titles.
