I swear if one more person uses ZombiU as a reason as to why mature games sell well on Wii U after all, I'm gonna lose it.
Launch game, exclusive, bundled, take your pick for why the game did its 700k but in no way does that game show us that mature multiplats can do well on the Wii U.

If you're referring to me, then note that I didn't say ZombiU is a reason why mature games sell well, I said that it's absurd to say that mature games don't sell well but Just Dance does, when ZombiU sold far better than Just Dance did.
And I'm sorry, but the fact that it was bundled is completely irrelevant. Gamers could easily obtain a Wii U without ZombiU and save some money. Or get a Wii U with another game (Nintendo Land). And there were other options, too. It's not like the Wii U was constantly sold out, and gamers had to get whichever bundle became available if they wanted to get the system.
And I'm not sure I understand why you'd expect either Launch Game or Exclusive to be a valid point. Exclusive means that people had to get the system for that game... which means that gamers who play "mature" games got the Wii U. That it was an exclusive, launch game didn't help Tank Tank Tank. And since when has any of those arguments been a reason to expect a new IP to sell well, anyway?
Basically, you're throwing random "reasons" for ignoring a game that has sold more than 700k despite being a new IP on a system that struggled out of the gate. Even if you ignore all other factors, the fact still remains that 10% of Wii U owners bought ZombiU, which is a strong result, and every one of those people are Wii U owners that would buy a "mature" game.
