A year after initial release... On the smallest install base... lol. 

If Nintendo funds it and helps with development like with Bayo 2 or Devil's Third, it could happen. 

Actually it came out in August and was released on the Wii U in November because that's when the Wii U was released, and small install base didn't stop games from selling well on the PS4 and Xbox One when they released.

So no, it didn't release a year late.

Yup, you are correct. It wasn't a year later, it was still easily out of the launch window for the game, so even if it were a year or even two later it would have made little difference. Most games will sell the majority in their first month after release. There are of course exceptions to that, but as I said, majority.

You are also correct about the PS4 and X1, although the games that had parity, actually did have parity and shared launch windows. Unless marketing continues beyond launch and people are keept aware, sales will most certainly be lower. A good example of that is Shadow of Mordor. It did reasonibly well on both the X1 and PS4, but was pushed back on both the 360 and PS3 so even though those systems have vastly higher install bases, the game didn't sell well at all on either of them especially considering their install bases. That was only 1 and a half months after initial release.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
