You are comparing apples to oranges here. Why would you use PS3 to PS4 ports when we have a bunch of examples of Wii U to Switch ports that are doing much better than the original releases?

What i was trying to show was that big sales of the original, don't necessarily mean big or bigger sales for the port.
In Batman's case, for example, the difference was quite big!

There will be cases where the port does well or really well, and cases where it doesn't.

Like I said, apples to oranges.

You are comparing games like Skyrim & Batman Arkham which were on PS3/360/PC so something like an install base over 200 million vs a game on a 13 million install base.

The sales potential of games like Skyrim & Batman were not limited in any significant way by the platforms they released on so it makes sense for ports of them to sell a fraction of the original release.

This is not the same for Wii U ports, those games did not sell to their full potential because they were on a failed platform and is why we are seeing basically every Wii U port on Switch sell better than the original release.

NSMBU Deluxe might not hit 10 million but I feel pretty positive that it will outsell the Wii U version.
