I am disappointed that it took this long before the 1st seal image. :( At least this one is more fun than the previous incarnations though.

Yeah, I went 6pages in and thought no one was going to post a seal picture so I went ahead and took the liberty... then on the very next page there was the exact one I posted... I made sure it was more fun than the others because people don't want to see what the others have.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed

240k=X360
200k=PS3
190k=WiiU
(only game that Wii U doing good against in Multiplat area)

The Wii U version is undertracked.  According to Wii U Daily it has sold around 260,000.  I'm not saying it has sold the most out of the three but I wanted to at least update one of the numbers.  Source: http://wiiudaily.com/2013/02/sonic-racing-sales-stats/

OT:  Whether it's on Amazon, according to rank, or not, it's still a good sign that the preorders for this game on the Wii U is doing well.  I really want a Wii U myself but I just can't afford it right now .  

Wrong. Total Sega software on WiiU sold 260k during Q3. That's 2 titles according to their own document: http://www.segasammy.co.jp/english/pdf/release/1303_3q_pre_eigo_final_130206.pdf (page 15)

Ahh...I see, I see.  Looks like my source was wrong.  What was the second title on the Wii U from Sega?  Either way, 190,000 sold is still a good amount considering the Wii U hasn't sold even 4 million units yet.  Also, it could end up selling more than the other two.  It's a slim possibility, but if the game hasn't done it by the release of Mario Kart U then it won't happen at all.  Lol

I think PS3 will outsell it, but WiiU version will outsell XBOX version

if it does it's not because people want it on the Wii U... it's because people dont want it on the Ps360

Definitely not changing the fact that WiiU Revelations will end up a tiny fraction of the total sales. You just have to look at the history of multiplatform games like AC3 or BO2 : costumer behavior doesn't change that radically overnight. Those preorders numbers are broken, that's all.


Maybe yes, maybe not. Many WiiU users are waiting for those kind of games and those pre-order numbers are no surprise. PS3 and 360 users are still buying and playing RE 6.

Looks like the Wii U version is the one to own.

Wii U players will be able to face the fear on-board using three different play styles. Play with the TV and access your map and weapons on the GamePad or switch the GamePad out for a Wii U pro controller. Alternatively transfer all the horror just to the GamePad as the title utilizes Off TV play.

Wii U players will get further exclusives through the Miiverse feature. Players can post a dying message from the Game Over screen for other players around the world to see and you can taunt your friends with the ‘Creatures Voice’ function, allowing enemies in Raid Mode to have their thoughts personalised. Screens of all the Wii U functions can be downloaded here.

2 things might have attributed this.

1.WiiU games drought. Easier to get noticed if competition is scarce.

2.3DS owners who may also own a WiiU either decided to give this game a 2nd time buy or buy it this time around when they at 1st did not on the 3DS.

Bold proves to me that we (all of us) on these sales forum will find absolutely anything to explain higher sales. Usually bold is used to explain why people wouldn't buy a game.

Actually, I consider rebuying it for WiiU. But it would need some good gamepad-usage to justify that.
