Rayman is so depressing. People are ignorants or straight dumb.

I might have bought it if it were developed for the Wii U and not diminished so it could fit on the PS3 and Xbox 360 interfaces. Serves Ubisoft right.


LMAO, al I can do is laugh at this post.


the thing is, his statement is kinda right. Its a good business move Ubisoft did it multiplat but at the same time stupid for a WiiU delay wen it was clearly ready. There were no games for WiiU at the time in Feb and now people have options, also the game sold 20k, when in feb it could of sold 45k-50k on WiiU (look at pre orders, it was around 35k). People dropped pre orders like myself, im getting the game but i cant afford all 10 games i want in these two months! Other people feel the same bro

Problem is thats not what he said, he said it was dimisnished, which is BS, then not buying it because of it only hurts a struggling platform, makes zero sense.



oh didn't see that part! Then yea i got you now! Even though its a slap to the face to WiiU owners like myself, M$+Sony has nothing to do with Ubisoft. Good Move on multiplat, bad move on 6 month delay for nintendo owners imo

The problem with this line of thinking is that Wii U owners aren't buying tons of other games despite there being a good number of releases.  Over the last five weeks in the US only 32% of Wii U owners have bought a game, and that includes bundles and assumes nobody bought two or more games.  It also doesn't factor in that VGC overtracked Pikmin and the Wii U in August.  In all likeliehood the number is probably closer to 25%.  Seems like the same argument could have been made in February that Monster Hunter and Lego City were right around the corner and Pikmin and Wii Fit U were meant to be out in a few months.

Also I think it is pretty obvious at this point that VGC preorders are basically throwing darts at a list of numbers, so I'm not sure you can really base anything off that.

Not a hot start from Killzone, although no German sales makes me wonder where else in Europe that game hasn't been tracked.

Not really all that good from Diablo 3 either. Meh.
