100k first week for this game would be bad bad. 200-300k with deent following weeks


this, 100k first week aint nothing to be proud of for a game like this. Hell i think every other version have more in preorders alone sans PC

100k first week is an ok number for any multiplatform ever. in this situation, it's a great number.


for a game with this kinda hype? nope, but believe what you want


Is very much of that hype for the Wii U version? 


??? what difference does it make, a game is a game. It will be the same game as the others. format matters not.

Edit: i think what you mean to say, are Wii U owners hyped for it? If the answer is no then thats a whole different problem.

That has a 101% chance of happening!

100k retail only would be a solid debut IMO, but it needs to push ~1 million lifetime for it to be truly worthy. AC4 didn't even come close to it and its an established brand and came out roughly at the same time.

Also, we still don't know just how good the game is. If its not a AAA+ piece of software I doubt that many will remain excited until the end of the year.

No, it doesn't need nowhere near 1 million to be worthy. it will do it's minimum of 300k lifitime wich gives some profits but whatever it's ltd is, it will be much lower than what could have been.


If you think that UBI will be OK with 300k LT for a port of this caliber, you will be surprised, and not in a good way. Not that it matters all that much, the WiiU already receives the same western 3rd party support as the Vita... none.

100k first week is an ok number for any multiplatform ever. in this situation, it's a great number.

No not really. This would all depend on the game and how expensive it was to produce on that platform. The PC version will likely do a couple hundred thousand... so the wii-u would be the worst selling.

Couple of things:

1. I dont see the Wii-u version doing 100k first week. I would be surprised with anything over 40-60k ww. I think its going to struggle to get to 100k...

2. Because of it being delayed in fact i think its probably going to do very badly. Would suspect many people who already own a wii-u are not just wii-u owners and would buy this game if they really wanted it on another platform. That just leaves the Nintendo only console owners and they are not a big bunch of people who buy 3rd party games imho.

3. Isnt it coming out at the same time as MK8? It's been shown (certainly with Sony) that any exclusive that comes out on the same day as a 3rd party has an impact on the sales of the 3rd party game. I dont see this any different to a Nintendo Exclusive. I know people complain about a lack of games, but utimately there's a large chunk of people who cannot afford multiple games in the same week.

If it sells more than that, thats great, dont mind being proven wrong... would be nice to see a little positive Nintendo news, but I just dont think this is it. Just too much against it.

I'd be happy but Ubisoft? I'm not so sure. I hope it does well, I will be purchasing the Wii U version as well as the ps4 version.


I don't see why Ubisoft wouldn't be happy if this game debuts far higher on the Wii U than did AC3 Nad AC4.


I'm sure they'd be somewhat happy but not happy enough to bring the DLC to Wii U. It would take more than that to make them rethink their current season pass strategy which is skipping Wii U. I'm hoping they at least have some free DLC on disc, if not it doesn't matter. I am still purchasing for Wii U.

1. You will be surprised.

2. It will do worse than it could, not necessarily better.

3.what?

a port of this caliber? it's a regular (if not half assed) port. 300k would be good with a fair treatment but with the delay, 300k is great.

bold: Lie.



The game have only in USA 29,000 pre order.
I think will sold 100,000 and more first week WW, and 300,000 on the end of year.

Yes, that's what I meant. 100K on a single platform definitely isn't good but a 100K Wii U opening week would be quite strong compared to past launches.



I don't think 100k is a high prediction at all. This franchise is going to be 8 digits by the end of the year. Some expectations are incredibly low for what it'll need to be worthwhile at all.
