The WiiU market is more similar to the former Gamecube market, Metroid Prime sold more than 2 million copies on GC (on 1/5 of the Wii userbase).


The trend still won't change 

Metroid Prime Hunters - 0.75 million

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D - 1.60 million

I eally don't see why things would be different on Wii U

Would you like to compare sales of GTA Chinatown Wars to GTA V? Prime Hunters is a low budget spin-off plus a 3D Metroid is not suited fot an handled.

The thing is DS and Wii had a huge userbase, but most customers were famlies or kids. WiiU userbase is small but it's mostly composed of core gamers and Nintendo fans, that's why Bayonetta 2 has sold more than Wii Fit U (according to vgchartz). Metroid on WiiU would likely sell as much as on Wii, maybe even more since fans have been waiting for an HD Metroid for a long time.
