Your Nintendo list is incomplete. There were third party games available like Spiderman 2, though that game sucks. So far I don't like it much. Lego Hobbit was an awesome game.

And there have been lots of indies too like Scram Kitty, Ittle Dew, Child of Light, Stick It To The Man and a few others.

Why would anyone agree with that list if they know there were more than that?

ASM2 also released on PS4 and X1. Lego Hobbit as well.

Although these games are something, the fact that I forgot to put them here is indicative that they aren't big at all.

Well, DK would have sold better if Wii U owners were starved that much. The few (mostly crappy) third-party games that were released this year have really low attach rates on Wii U.

The free game promotion obviously helped MK8 sales.

Wii U owners probably yearned for MK8 like PS4 and X1 owners yearned for Watch_Dogs, no matter what was released the months before.

As if we needed more evidence that the 50 posts requirement isn't nearly enough.

When someone says this for PS4, its fine. But when someone accuses Wii U of the same with evidence its blasphemy! I don't get this logic at all.

Well that's half true.
The other half is that the game is from the biggest game franchise of history and was very hyped.
And it's actually very well builded, it's a good and fun game, that just get better if you play with your friends.

You can't be serious.

Some probably bought it because they were starved for games, but most bought it because they like MK I think...

The same for most Nintendo games.


Oh yes, 12mil people were starved for 3ds games they had to buy Pokemon XY. Good try though as many examples fail your statement.

No, it isn't.  And two wrongs don't make a right.

Mario isnt the biggest franchise now...?

What I get from that list is that ps4/Xbox owners are starved for real and good games whether you agree or not.

So, that proves that all previous Mario Karts have sold bad in comparison or what are you trying to say?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
