I own a 360 and a Wii U and I never considered getting the 360 version. I'd rather use the Gamepad and Wii mote than get achievements. I'm sure among multi-console owners who want the best gameplay experience, whether or not the version has trophies/achievements is pretty meaningless to them.


I'm sure that the idea of the gamepad offering the 'best' gameplay experience is extremely subjective. Also, third party software almost never does best on Wii U out of all platforms. Also, traditionally multiplatform software does best on the other two systems. All of these considerations taken together make your contention that the Wii U will be the second place platform, after PS4, out of PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360 seem rather weak to me. If more people thought like you, the Wii U wouldn't be doing so poorly. I don't perceive the single-touch, 480p screen that has a rapidly draining battery as offering me better gameplay than a standard controller.

 Child of Light doesn't neatly conform to the distribution, pricing patterns of traditional software.

Indie, digital-only software regularly does quite well on the Wii U compared to other platforms. Titles like Ducktales and Mutant Mudds actually outsold competing versions on 360 and PS3. To a certain degree, less competition amongst other games == more sales for one particular game.

In the case of the gamepad, Digital Foundry confirmed Rayman Legends on Wii U to be the definitive version of the game because of the Gamepad features. The X1 and and 360 versions of Rayman Legends have sold worse than the Wii U version, in spite of what you might consider a superior gameplay experience. Though I don't t think that's strickly because of one platform offering a better gameplay experience. I believe there's an element of demographics to this as well that favors the Wii U version. The WiiU being as starved for content as it is, this title is a no-brainer to the WiiU faithful.

It's primarily for these reasons that I think the WiiU version has a shot at being the 2nd best-selling version.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Im getting the game for PS4.

 

My prediction from Ubisoft:

1.PS3

2.x360

3.PS4

4.XOne

5.Wii U


Every cross gen game so far is selling better on current gen than last gen(save for the casual games like CoD, Fifa and Lego).

So:

1. PS4

2. Xbone/WiiU

3. Xbone/WiiU

4. PS360

I was going to pre-order it for Wii U from Gamestop today, but then they told me I would have to go back in to get my code. So I will just eshop it tomorrow.

 

Yea, it would save you another trip that's for sure. I didn't know that pre ordering their downloads would be like pre ordering a physical copy.

Is there expected to be any graphical difference between the XBONE/PS4 versions and the 360/PS3/U versions?


Looks like last gen and Wii U are all at 720p.  Seems a little silly considering the game isn't really graphically intensive.  But whatever.  I'll be getting it on PS4 or PC.
