Normally I'd say Wii easily for a game like this, but the Wii's audience has largely lost interest in all but the biggest titles (Goldeneye, DKCR, Epic Mickey) with smaller titles, even the likes of Kirby and Metroid barely registering.

On top of that, sequels historically due horrid on Wii.  Most casual Wii owners are like, 'been there, done that, why buy the same game again?'  Even SMG2 will never approach the original's sales.  

Yes, Just Dance 2 is an exception, granted.  Dancing games in general seem to be on the rise as the fad catches on.

PS3's user base is too old and too core. 

Makes the winner 360 in my estimation.


...

I'd read the rest of the thread. The whole 'Wii version sold more than 3X the amount of the other two combined' and the '>600 copies launch for the 360 version' stuff

de Blob 2 sales show that Wii was a mighty software beast (sales-wise) in its prime. A game like de Blob could have only dream of selling almost a million units, the same for other terrible b and c tier games, in a system like Wii, those devs were truly lucky and yet they refused to support the platform, poor narrow-minded companies, THQ even pretended to sell us a shitty spider game as a hardcore test ..., now they have what they deserve.

Sorry for my rant, I shouldn't take this so seriously

not sure if I agree...

de Blob was a good idea, and the sequel fixed these (whilst, not fixing some?)

They released UDraw and have been advertising the hell out of it. At least they're still trying. Unlike EA...

They're behind Capcom, Ubisoft and Sega, but ahead of most others, sadly. Because they just don't care about the market and they chose not to support the platform because it was bound to fail. IT success took the world by surprise.

Did devs choose to support it? No. They made up weak excuses to try and guard their own backs whilst making FPS Number generic. And released rubbish games with no ads out to die. Then they blaim the Wiis audience.

THAT's the issue. Games like Epic Mickey, Goldeneye, MHTri, Sonic Colours etc. show if you try you get results.

I generally like you, but this one post of yours stands for what I don't like about you. I don't agree at all with these observations and it's a good thing that now we finally have a worthy multiplatform game to put these theories to the test.

With the first week results in, it's pretty obvious that games doing bad can't be blamed on the Wii audience, rather its the games themselves being the problem.

Well, the fact that I'm completely wrong (even prior to posting...) just speaks for itself.  Well, not completely.  It's still yet another sequel selling horridly on Wii.  As to why it's selling so bad, that's certainly up to debate. 

The reviews are decent enough.   It's a shame really, deserves better all around.   Mind you, I played the first game, I've no interest in it either.

Pretty much.

There's too much else out ATM for de Blob to get a look in, sadly. Shame really

That's true.  But not on Wii.   There's vertually no competition on Wii and it's still waaay down from De Blob's first week sales.

Virtually no competition on Wii? What would you call Kirby and Donkey Kong?

Old news?  

DKCR has some strong legs but the same can't be said of Kirby.   Mario Sports Mix would be more relevant here but that's hardly a strong competitor either at this point.

Kirby just released in Europe and Oceania though and I would hardly call DKCR old news as that game is huge, most people probably aren't tired of it yet (I know I'm not).

True, I wasn't considering Europe but still on a console with an installed base as huge as Wii's it's hard to say a game that's been out for months and one other game is crushing any potential for De Blob 2.  

That's like saying because CoD:BO come out months ago and Dragon's Age 2 came out now, that every other game on PS3/360 must sell miserably.    While it's still true for De Blob2, it hardly true in general.
