Sorry Nintendo fans but just by looking at Bayonetta 2 sales which had everything in its favor to sell well, it didn't. Exclusive game, marketing from Nintendo, rage from the fans competitor, 90+ metascore, bundle with the 1st game. It has so far 340k and it's not in the top 75. It's obvious there weren't any chance for almost any third parties to sell well even with all the excuses that have been brought until now. I'll get it, it's a niche title which probably will be used as an excuse. Sorry but selling third parties games on Wii U is just a miracle. |
Look at how much Bayonetta sold on the XBOX360 lol... I guess third party games don't sell on XBOX platforms either.
340k sales so far for a game this niche is actually very good. I bought the game yesterday, but honestly, not a big fan of it. Has ugly graphics imo. And hack & slash just isn't a genre for me I guess.

Nice. One cherry-picked example. Look at WiiU's entire non-Nintendo library.
Also, Bayonetta sold 900k on 360, a number which the WiiU version won't come close to despite being exclusive.

Tell me one third party example that arrived at the same time and wasn't an inferior port.
Good luck. And how is Bayonetta a cherry-picked example? We're talking about the sales of its sequel for crying out loud. Why would it not be ok to give Bayonetta as an example?
The XBOX360 had a much larger userbase than the Wii U, something you seem to have forgotten in all your bias.
If a third party developer ever made a good Crash Bandicoot game for the Wii U and other consoles it would sell. As long as they advertise it and release it at the same time. But nowadays third party developers are afraid of developing anything but shooters or violent games.
