Are we counting digital sales?

Anyways thats not good news for western's  3rd party on Wii U

VGC? No, only physical which is already a big problem and will be even more problematic in the future.  Fifa and CoD sales on Xbox One will look very low in Europe haha

There is no need to compare CoD sales on a Nintendo system to others. CoD has a max of selling 1-2m on a Nintendo platform.  To put it simple...  Most Nintendo gamers don't give a shit about CoD or they buy it on another platform.

Shouldn't of even brought up Mass Effect 3 on Wii U.

It's not like I put any importance on ME3. But there's always an excuse behind the one that can easily be disproven.

EA fucked their sales with all their games (except NFS which didn't sell despite effort put into it).  The Mass Effect trilogy was released on PS3 and 360 while they release ME3 on Wii U.  That pretty much ruined any chance of sales for the Wii U version because why would anyone that never played ME start with number 3 with a stupid comic filling them in on what happened previously.  Madden Wii U was developed in under 6 months and lacked features.  All of EA games were gimped except NFS.  Nintendo gamers are used to gimped ports from third party companies and the sales of 3rd party games shows the case.  Release a quality title that isn't gimped and they could be rewarded with decent sales (see MH3 sales on Wii and MH4 sales on 3DS).  MH3 sold way more than the PS2 versions.

you mean like WIi U MH? oh wait...

Now 0.43 million  (according too VGChartz) for a late port is low for a 3.8 million userbase? mkay

 I bought it and it is awesome even though I played the shit out of it on Wii.  They added enough to make it feel worth the purchase.  Sitting a little under .5m right now and it might eventually claw its way to .75 or 1m perhaps.  If they released it at launch then I'm sure it would have sold more.  It was a nice filler game though for the slow start of 2013.


they should have done alot of things. Im not talkign about the quality, but you say if you release games that arent gimped they do well and then somehow forgot to mention MH for WIi U but decided to bring up the Wii one that came out years ago and the 3ds one which is whatever cause MH does great no matter the portable.

and those are just 2 DAYS worth of sales for the PS4 software-

I wish the Wi U woud sell more 3rd party software so we could get more in the future- but so far it is looking bleak

For what you stated, unfortunately. :)

It will be an interesting holiday for sure.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

yes, you are right. Things with 3rd party games are not gonna change from one ten to the other. It needs time.

Why are people trying to have a serious discussion about a troll post?



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

13. Injustice: Gods Among Us - 5,143
14. Angry Birds Star Wars - 2,274

So, these don't exist? There are more flops then not.

Plus we ignore demographics.

rule number one of being a nintendo fan,.. there is no demographics difference between nintendo and MSony consoles.  all evidence that even suggests it is only proof of the 3rd party conspiracy to destroy nintendo.
