| Skullwaker said: XBX > XBC 3D > XC I don't really have any logical reasoning for this. I just think XBX will be the most hyped out of the three and it'll have the largest following, even though it'll be on the platform with the lowest user base. I think XBC 3D will sell more than the original, since it's the first exclusive for the N3DS and that'll encourage more people to check it out, so it could end up having a pretty healthy attach rate. XC just didn't sell that great to begin with, mainly due to it launching in the US after the Wii had died and only as a Gamestop exclusive. |
Wii U attach rates for huge exclusive games make the ps4, xbox one, and 3ds look like jokes. The denominator means nothing for Wii U games. I think the Wii U may have the most actively loyal userbase of any console ever when it comes to Nintendo exclusive products. Just look at these...
Roughly 8-9 million Wii U's sold:
| 1 | New Super Mario Bros. U | WiiU | 2012 | Action | Nintendo | 2.15 | 1.00 | 1.23 | 0.27 | 4.66 |
| 2 | Mario Kart 8 | WiiU | 2014 | Racing | Nintendo | 1.86 | 1.17 | 0.90 | 0.28 | 4.21 |
| 3 | Nintendo Land | WiiU | 2012 | Action | Nintendo | 2.25 | 0.88 | 0.44 | 0.26 | 3.83 |
| 4 | Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS | WiiU | 2014 | Fighting | Nintendo | 1.71 | 0.59 | 0.59 | 0.19 | 3.08 |
| 5 | Super Mario 3D World | WiiU | 2013 | Platform | Nintendo | 1.46 | 0.72 | 0.63 | 0.19 | 3.00 |
| 6 | New Super Luigi U | WiiU | 2013 | Platform | Nintendo | 1.18 | 0.55 | 0.16 | 0.15 | 2.04 |
| 7 | Wii Party U | WiiU | 2013 | Action | Nintendo | 0.29 | 0.39 | 0.81 | 0.08 | 1.57 |
| 8 | The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | WiiU | 2013 | Action | Nintendo | 0.71 | 0.36 | 0.12 | 0.09 | 1.29 |
| 9 | Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze | WiiU | 2014 | Platform | Nintendo | 0.48 | 0.32 | 0.13 | 0.08 | 1.01 |
| 10 | Lego City Undercover | WiiU | 2013 | Action | Nintendo | 0.42 | 0.29 | 0.11 | 0.07 | 0.90 |
The first 5 have insane attach rates. NUmber 6 is a freaking EXPANSION/DLC that roughly 1/4-1/3 of all Wii U owners own. Windwaker is a remake and it has STILL sold over a million and it was one of the most hated Zelda games of all time for almost a decade. Tropical Freeze was the game we needed and deserved yet no one wanted it and it still sold over a million. Lego City is a LEGO game without any big Nintendo characters in it and it sold close to a million.
X is waaaaay more hyped and desired than City (the ??? game), Freeze (the game nobody wanted, except for a few like me), Wind Waker (remake of a hated game by most), Wii Party U (I don't even need to say anything...), NSLU (DLC), and potentially more. But let's say it's not more. Let's say it's not more desired than 3d world, that means it is still going to sell in the 2-3million range on Wii U in it's first year alone. X is going to sell like bonkers because the Wii U has the craziest most loyal exclusive game fanbase of all time imo. And Bayonetta/Wonderful 101 don't really count because neither of those games are massive budget, open world projects like X (and the consumer knew it), and they were both either incredibly weird/hard to get into (101) or so crude and inappropriate that most wouldn't touch it (Bayo 1 and 2). X is going to sell at least 2-3 million first year imo.
