I remember sonic adventure 2 battle selling over 2.5 million on gamecube, far more than original dreamcast version.

Monster Hunter 4, Kingdom Hearts DDD, solid performance, Youkai watch (which has been TM for Occident *-*), i don't know, some others i guess, eating right now, can't think.


I don't think DDD did perform very well actually.  We're tracking it well below both 358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep.  It's tracking about on par with the HD Collection on PS3, which isn't too fantastic.  It's also still ~ 100k overtracked in the USA.

Part of that is Square Enix's own doing for messing the IP around so much on different platforms, but equally I don't think you can really call it a "third party success".  It's more of a "third party average performance".

It did well

Lol, you started a thread with a particular claim and then could only think of 2 examples to back it up? No offense dude but you need to be getting the evidence BEFORE you have opinions, not the other way around!

man im telling you, its still being sold at stores NEW!

it has sold more than 40k units this past year which is crazy for this game. it was outselling weekly the newer games for a long time. i think only MW3 sold more this year on Wii FPS genre LOL

and then they say CoD doesnt sell on Nintendo consoles.
CoD has sold a total of around 7-8M games on Wii  which is not too shabby

Castlevania 1-4, Contra, Gradius and Lifeforce, Mega Man series, Street Fighter 2, Final Fantasy 1-6, Secret of Mana.... I'm sure there's lots of others, but these are the releases that have jumped to mind. AAA third party support hasn't really been there much since N64 so it's hard to say they don't sell. COD: Ghosts was a pretty good version on Wii U, but Activision was practically denying its existence until just before release...and they wonder why it sold poorly.

Just Dance. It's obvious.

According to VGChartz, Silent Hill: Shatter Memories on Wii sold more than any Silent Hill realeased on PS3 or 360, that's a success right there!

Third party games can do well on the Wii U as long as they are exclusive

I wish some 3rd parties would try to play on the strenghts of each platform instead of trying to shoehorn the same products into as many platforms as possible (excludig the Wii U)
