Forums - Sales - 2 WiiU launch games from sold better in 2014 than they did in 2013

All good games. My bro just got Mass Effect 3 for Wii U, and I would have as well if I didnt have the trilogy on PC.



Around the Network

Desperately bored Wii U owners? That is the PS4

Wii U has Smash, Bayonetta 1 AND 2, Pikmin 3, Hyrule Warriors, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Mario Kart 8, ZombiU, The Wonderful 101, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Lego City: Undercover, Super Mario 3D world, TLoZ: Windwaker in terms of exclusives. Not to mention Splatoon, Devil's Third, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Fox U, Zelda U, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and so many more upcoming. Don't say things like that when they aren't true.

And you guys said that third party games don't sell on WiiU :P


And yeah weren't all WiiU owners supposed to boycott buying WiiU games?

In all seriousness though, companies that have supported the WiiU better than EA like Namco Bandai and Warner Bros have seen their games on the WiiU drop in sales way harder. You could almost say EA is still the #1 3rd party on WiiU :P



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

You left out Wonderful101


TW101 wasn't a 2012 WiiU launch game like the others listed, but I see what you mean. Should be interesting to see the performance for TW101 in 2015

Mass effect is very good. Payed $15 for it, even though i have it on ps3.

...according to tracking by VGC. And they are...

Mass Effect 3 : Special Edition

FIFA 13

 

Explain it any way you wish. Here's how I see it: No FIFA 14 or 15 on WiiU helps FIFA 13 leg out (if you can call it that). ME3 WiiU is the cheapest version you can buy new rather than used (you can often find it for $10-15). Desperately bored WiiU owners go for it since its a decently lengthy game with high production value and worth a playthough (regardless of what you think of EA, the games ending, etc).

Do you really think there are many of those? Everyone at least should have a last gen system.

 

Anyway, Mass Effect 3 is damn good, such a shame it isn't the Trilogy pack, but still... FIFA 13 is extremely average to say the least, but I love to play Manager mode.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

I personally think they should ditch the wii version and make a wii u version
itll sell more



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

With a bigger install base more games are sold? :O

On a serious note, I think this years E3 there are going to be some pretty interesting announcements. It'll be three years into the systems life (probably 4 before anything shown at E3 will be released) and the user base will be about as big as it's going to get by 2016 if Nintendo can still make a profit and drop it to $249.99 we are also going to see more systems being sold next year due to what they have coming 2015, and what they have already out from the years prior. If anyone is going to come on board the Wii U train, the time to reveal will be E3 2015.

Prediction: E3 we will see 2 or 3 hardcore third party games that people will not see coming from a mile away, and Xenosaga HD on the side. We will also see the actual reveal for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is going to be amazing (and not one of the two or three).

Ultimately I think they will.

They have assets ready to build it if they want to
