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.


Metroid Fusion was a game made specifically for the GBA, and it sold less than the remake of the original Donkey Kong Country.

On any platform with Donkey Kong Country and Metroid, the former will always sell more. Its been that way on SNES, GB, GBA, and it'd be that way on Wii U.
