Sonic Boom sold 180k? On the wiiU? Really? Wtf

Now we can see metacritic has absolutely no affect on people at all. 


180k for a sonic game is atrocious. The name alone garuntee's it 100k in sales, its poor quality definitely had an effect on sales.

But that's exactly what I'm saying ''the name alone guarantees it 100k in sales''. So even if the game is horrible there are still many people buying it because it's a sonic game.

Watch Dogs selling 60k even is surprising, considering no DLC/6 month delay in release. TBH I'm not too surprised that 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo systems. I've seen gamestop employee's talk people out of buying 3rd party games and steering them towards ps3/360 ports instead.
