Ah, the usual spin. What does LBP have to do with anything? Oh right you just wanna "show me" using something that you think I care about because it's PS....Nice try... Also let me see if you get this:

Vita 12.26 41.47 3.38

Do you see how utterly moronic and laughable the Vita comparison is? The Wii U is not defying any odds, don't kid yourself. If you wanna look at a poorly selling system that defied the odds with software then look at the original Xbox, that thing had a ridiculous tie-ratio. Oh and before you say something stupid like "lol, the Wii U has a higher attach ratio than the PS4/X1", launches aligned the Wii Us attach ratio is lower than both the PS4s and X1s.

Who's talking about tie ratio? I'm comparing two consoles who's userbases are almost as big.

You're comparing consoles with widely different userbases, lol.

We're talking about million sellers here, not overall tie ratio. Big games sell well, no matter if it's on HC or HH.

Oh and Wii U has a higher attach ratio than PS4/X1 ;), I thought the other consoles had soooo many more games? So much so that poor old SK ,just can't sell well on those consoles!

Also vgchartz numbers are incorrect, as usual.

Then compare two systems with similar userbases you genius.

Compare the DS and the PS2, the PS2 sold almost twice as many games.

Compare the GBA and the 360, the 360 sold over 2.5 times as many games.

Do you maybe see something of a pattern there?

Oh so what we're doing is once again making up our own rules so that Nintendo can somehow win your stupid comparison huh? "Oh, it doesn't matter that the crushing majority of games on the Wii U doesn't sell, we're only looking at this one dozen of games, so the Wii U is totally defying the odds"

underlined: tell that to Cod and AC on Wii U

And you're actually going to pull out Shovel Knight, well whoopie you got one example of a game that is not only heavily reminiscent of old Nintendo games but also got there almost a year earlier, it still made over a third of the money it made on WiiU+3DS on PS and Xbox systems, do you wanna go over the list of games that failed to make even 10% of the money on Wii U that they made on PS4 or X1?  Or do you wanna go over the fact that according to this site the PS4 has sold almost 4 times as many games this year as the Wii U has? Or do you wanna keep making up senseless handheld vs console comparisons to be able to say that the "Wii U is defying the odds"?

bolded: Apparently not incorrect enough to stop you from using them to make a Vita vs. Wii U comparison.

I'm out, gotta go to bed, someone else can deal with this shit.

I always used confirmed million sellers as a source, not vgchartz.

CoD and Ass Creed don't appeal to Nintendo fans, yet they do appeal to Sony fans who are the only one's buying a Vita. Yet those games still sold quite poorly compared to some of Wii U's offerings.

You were the one that brought up tie ratio's, I was always talking about million sellers. You know, this thread is about one such million seller. Wii U's tie ratio is still higher than the PS4/X1 despite those consoles having the support of hundreds of companies while Nintendo is mostly just being supported by themselves on the Wii U.

Wii U is also beating the DC when it comes to million sellers. Tell me ONE other company that could get 12+ million sellers on a userbase of 10 million. With only games THEY made or published. Good luck finding another company. That's what they call defying the odds.
