 Given the poor performance of the game, that holds water until you consider that another recently released mature game, Bayonetta 2, placed first on the console in its launch. Oh, and it still managed to beat Watch Dogs, placing 11th a month after its launch on the system.

If Watch Dogs was a Wii U exclusive it'd be praised as one of the best games ever made.  Bayonetta being a better game certainly isn't the reason it sold better.  Watch Dogs is a port, it's six months late, and it's not exclusive.  Everyone knew this was going to bomb, even Ubisoft I'm sure.

I think it is a combination of both really....

Well that and "topping Wii U software sales" for a release month isn't exactly an impressive feat. Bayonetta 2 sold 70k in month one, and that's with the first game thrown in for free to boot. 

Being the number 1 selling Wii U in a month like that is like bragging that you beat the fat kid in gym class at hurdles. 

I guess but it thats not really the point of what he was talking about.
