bombs all around. :(

oh well, can't wait for the vita version so i can get mine.


We cant determine that already, this seems like the sort of game which would have a lot of digital sales. Lets if Ubi responds to the sales in the coming months.

Who cares if it sold the best if the sales aren't good.



this sounds like an excuse, how much is rayman suppose to sell? Not every game needs to sell 100k+ fw to be successful, ubisoft said origins sold for a goood profit and none of the platforms sold close to a million! beside this is wiiu, so this is good news lol


Why should i post an excuse, do you think i am but hurt?

Like i said it is not good news if the sales aren't good... 



honestly how much are they suppose to sell? the way your making it seem is that they need an X amount of copies? If ubisoft says its profitable then wats the big deal? Lots of vita games are profitable despite low sales, Even WiiU monster hunter did good (capcom stated) despite being low!

I'm not saying that it won't be profitable especially considering it is on multiple platforms, but that the sales won't be a big factor considering the current third party support of the wii u.

So:
WiiU - 5,000 (45%)
360 - 3,333 (30%)
PS3 - 2,667 (24%)
PC - 111 (1%)

Updated numbers

BTW, in the news says 35% for xbox, so that will be 105%. Is this game selling that much?



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

see now off topic, this thread talking about wiiu got the best sales and you have to downplay it cuz it got bad 3rd party support. Good news here, but noooooooooo. :P

I'm happy Ubisoft invested in a sequel even though the first one bombed, just hope they weren't expecting this one to be a runaway success.


According to Ubisoft last february or so, the game was profitable, and it sold a few hundred thousand after that plus the Vita version.  This opening is about 20% higher, so I'd think it would match their expectations.

Well that's good. Origins was one my favorite platformers this gen so it's nice Ubisoft doesn't need it to be a massive seller to become profitable. Glad they're keeping the budget in check. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Vita/3DS multiplat sells best on Vita: "Nintendo is bad for third parties! Vita is a more viable platform!"

Wii U/PS3/360 multiplat sells best on Wii U: "Comparing numbers means nothing when the game sold so little on every platform. / Wii U owners are desperate for new games."

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

This is pretty good news for Wii U. Who cares if it only outsold the other versions by a few thousand? It's good for it just to be in the same range as them, never mind ahead of them. I thought Disney Infinity had pretty good numbers on Wii U compared to the other versions despite selling less than on PS3 and 360, considering its much smaller install base.

It's not that the WiiU version was impressive, it's just that it bombed less

My thoughts exactly.
