thats an odd game to compare them too, as its not like Rayman did gangbusters on Wii U anyway. It was still outsold by the PS3 AND PS4 version. Sure we could use the excuse that PS3 has a bigger user base(not what people were saying when they swore teh Wii U one would sell the best since thats the "definitive" version but i digress). But whats PS4 excuse? it came out later.

Edit: on another note, 3rd parties approach to Nintendo was never the problem. Nintendo's approach to 3rd parties is the issue, the onus is on Ninty to get those games on the system if they so choose. 3rd parties are not obligated to jump through hoops to support one platform especially when it has already been proven that they could do much better on 3 other platforms

 

From memory some Nintendo fans had a PMS moment and said they will not buy the game any more because it was delayed LOL.

On the other side of the coin they did not acknowledge that when Ubisoft delayed Rayman, they also annouced three other games on Wii U that were multiplatforms as a gesture of good faith. I was stocked to see Assasins Creed IV, Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell annouced. 

if that is true then thats on them. But i imagine that only a small amount actually did that. I dont think it would have mattered, this whole Rayman on Ninty thing some fans been pushing has been odd, and i have yet to see evidence to back it up. Raving Rabbids did well but that was a spin off of the series, that was the type of game that was doing well on WIi anyway. but proper Rayman? Rayman is popular in Europe, you know who else is popular in Europe? (Sony) how else does one explain how Origins could sell almost twice as much on PS3 than Wii despite being a more expensive version and having a smaller user base? Or the PS4 version outselling all others (by a good margin) despite being months late?

To be fair WD and SC were real late porths, dont know what the hell happened with AC4 though
