What shoud have Square Enix done?

Exactly what they actually did 21 15.00%
 
Keep it as WiiU only 59 42.14%
 
Make it digital only 9 6.43%
 
Never remaking the game 42 30.00%
 
Sticking with what they d... 6 4.29%
 
Total:137

First week global sales are showing 5,083 on the Wii U.  Not sure if this is updated numbers or not.  If it is, I'm going with it's bombed on all three consoles.

The WiiU is a new console and Deus Ex is a old game, I have it on my PS3, bought one year ago and the game was already in bargain bins, it is been on the market for a while.
So, the PS360 owners already have the game, but it is attractive to WiiU owners because the console library is still yong and need some cool games.
Hell, WiiU owners are praising a 8 years old Zelda game like it is the second coming of Jesus Christ, it makes sense to me that you guys get crazy about this (decent game) Deus Ex.

My point exactly, i felt that it was too early to remake for PS3 and 360

anyway did you vote on the poll or not



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

I see, it's all about the position and not the sales. Let's ignore that the WiiU games are all selling horrible while there is way more competition on PS360. Let's also ignore that this game already launched on PS360, this is just a minor upgraded edition.

did you even read what i wrote below the Links

it flopped across all three consoles but relative to the WiiU's performance it did OK

My point is that SE should have not remade the game at all or at the very least released it at a different time

so it didn't flop on the wiiu?

Actual numbers sure it flopped but WiiU UK measures not really, it didn't do well at all but it didn't flop

The WiiU version is going to be the version that makes the fewest money.
They had to port the whole game plus the Missing Link DLC, whereas the PS360 versions only needed the Director's Cut extras.
If anything the WiiU version is the only one that is even able to flop.

That is what i said

Realistically Wii U Version Flopped, but relative to the WiiU's UK performance it was just bad not flop

I voted WIIU ONLY, they  should do a lot of old games on wiiU, like FALLOUT 3, which would be amazing with the gamepad



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

The game flopped on all consoles period. No "did OK when you take something something into account". It flopped. The End.

So, the PS3 and 360, selling a lot more software total, bumped a re-release of a game down the list, farther down than the Wii U version which has basically nothing to compete with and poor sales overall? The PS3 version of GTA V alone has sold more than twice the entire amount of software the Wii U has moved for six months.

What a complete shocker.


i was comparing it to things like MW2's 3rd or so year performance

now did it flop on WiiU, ofcourse but relative to the performance of WiiU it didn't that's my point, please read all what i wrote before comenting

What makes you think I didn't? 

SE doesn't care about relative performance. They care about sales and sales only. 

Btw, this isn't a remake. This is more like a complete edition with some changes.

Relative performance is my point not SE's, in my opinion SE shouldn't have made the game or at least chose a different release date, maybe late 2014 would have worked, as for being a complete edition i forgot that word entirely i'll edit it right now :)
