Well, the game sold 400K. Bayonetta 2 did double the amount on the same platform and we regard this as a somewhat big deal.

Sooo, the port probably pays itself, but that isn't usually enough. As I remember Nintendo payed for the development of TW101, so they could decide they want to foster this as another IP exclusive to them. Or not. We'll see.

Owww I remembered it selling 100k... but with 400k on WiiU I can see some benefit on releasing it for Switch

Yeah, I thought that too and was surprised looking it up to answer you.

Well, maybe VGC is totally off. Also it seems from the first week, that it didn't start off as a hot item, but seemingly it sold steady over time. Maybe at reduced price, which would still make it a difficult item for publishers.
