Just for the record, you don't think that being out almost a year longer on the Wii U and 3DS has anything to do with selling more units than on Xbox and Playstation systems?  I just want to make sure I understand you correctly.

Most games get their sales in their first few months, especially famous ones (and Shovel Knight was already famous by the time it released on the PS4).

14% for PS4, PS3 AND Vita is not very good, sorry.

And I also predict Tomb Raider on the PS4 to outsell the XBONE version. Which releases a year later.

Oh, no, I just wanted confirmation.  I've seen a lot of people comment on multi-plats launching later on Nintendo and then saying that's a reason it sold less.  Interesting to know you don't feel that way.

It has an impact, but games like Assasins Creed or CoD are never going to sell anywhere near the amount they do on the other two consoles, no matter when they release.

It's not that third party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles, it's that your typical dudebro games don't sell well on Nintendo consoles. And sadly the Wii U's userbase is too small to make third party games for that suit the demographic. You're much better off making games that suit the demographic of the other two consoles (which are much more alike).
