Ha! There is some justice with the Wii U version being on top.

If anything, this justifies Ubisoft's decision for a simultaneous release, because otherwise the other versions would have bombed even harder.

Exactly, I was going to post something similar on Eurogamer... the PS3/Xbox sales are only just uder the Wii-u version and combined would have probaly sold more than the Wii-u (and then when you add in the Vita version when its released).

So by combining platforms they have probably sold double what they were going to if they had stayed on the wii-u only and thats before any Vita sales. It totally justifies their decision to wait imho.

I guess the only argument given might be that more Wii-u purchases would have been made had it been released when it was supposed to rather than later. But i am not convinced that it would have been massive just looking at recent Wii-u single platform exclusive games.

Nvm Bro ... you probably missed some sarcasm

I'm glad rayman bombed  

Wa what?? why would you be glad of a bomb?

he hates original and beautiful games obviously. Ubisoft should have just made a CoD clone instead =)

I think he's a little hurt that everyone gets to enjoy it.

Rayman outsold the original by 20% first week and thats not including the vita. I dont think that can be considered a bomb


I don't consider it a bomb either. Not a smashing success but far from a bomb.

but how do you know what it would have sold back in Feb? WiiU had no games at that time and so Rayman had zero competion, now it has to compete with Pikmin 3, Wonderful Bomba and the rest of WiiU's holiday line-up. not saying it would have been a better idea but its possible.

 

oh and fun fact, it IS WiiU exclusive... in Japan 0_0

We don't know either way.... but it's selling more than the previous version so thats a plus.

Pikmin and Wonderful 101 have both sold pretty poorly right, so they are not really providing competition.

At the end of the day, they didnt release it, other wii-u games that have been released on the whole have done very badly... i have no reason to think that Rayman would have done any better on a console that had fewer hardware sales back in Feb than it would on multiplatform now.

The delay was indeed annoying but at least the game is here now. Please don't use the delay as a reason to ignore a good 2D platformer, you're hurting no one but yourself.

He is probably more annoyed that it went multiplat.



Thanks O BAMA!



So Lost Planet is the bomb of the year. 1m+ is what Capcom is going to have to bury in New Mexico.

Agreed. It looks like an amazing game, so having an attitude like this is just detrimental.
