I asked a legitimate question. I don't know why you're being so aggressive with me.

It's true you've done no harm here and tbone is acting a bit out of line, but you know exactly why! At this point it's hard to blame people for assuming anything and everything you say in a Nintendo thread is Nintendo downplay. That's just the reputation you've built up mate. :L

If i answrr his question (or any1 else) itll be a never ending cycle of nothing. Im being nice actually (for every1 elses sake xD)

What a load of BS honestly,  most of those games are not new IPs at all no matter how much you try to twist it and you go as far as naming games that never were released to the console lol

You clearly have no idea of what you are talking about,, New IPS made by Nintendo this gen on WiiU are only Splatoon and Nintendoland, they both did good


So if Nintendo had published games like Zombi U or The Wonderful 101 then they wouldn't flopped?
Why shouldn't al these games count as new IP's for Nintendo, it was the first time they were released on a Nintendo home console.
And  the games that didn't even release (Project Giant Robot) shows again how much of a failure they were on Wii

Please tell me how Zombi U flopped? It sold 1.02 million, that would make it the 7th best selling Vita game is since your name Dr.Vita in contrast to being the 21st best selling game on Wii U. You're telling a game which 13% of the install base bought flopped?

Wo woah! Not vgc numbers. Official numbers from nintendo. Im talking quater reports lol.  Let me kno if you accept. Think about it!  :)


But these these are usually shipments, aren't them? 
In that case it would be more fair to increase my prediction to <1.25M units shipped. Otherwise I would still stick with my <1M sold prediction.

Make it 1.2mil and we have a deal. Its because nintendo might round up or down. If its under 1.2mil you win. If you accept pls reply and best of luck!

I don't see why not it doesn't have much competition and a lot Switch owners need games.

Are you going to use this arguement forever? WiiU games all hit 5mil+ right? Like W101/Pikmin3/bayo2 because of no competition?

Yes because most of those games would have made the 2 million mark easily if the Wii U had a decent installbase. Look at the PS4 even crappy games like  LBP 3, Killzone and Knack sell over or close to a million without even trying. So yes competition is a very big deal. Remember the first Motorstorm it sold over 4 million units. If it had competition (releases where very scarce first years on PS3) I bet it wouldn't have made half of these sales.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

The whole "it sold cos no competition" argument doesn't really fly. Games like Wonderful 101 and Starfox didn't flop because Wii U had a small install base, they flopped because they are unattractive products. If "no competition on the platform" is enough for Switch games to sell well, why haven't games like Just Dance 2017, Super Bomberman R, and Skylanders Imaginators, sold well?

T-bone and Dr Who betting 1.2M?

Pussies. I'll bet you both 5M minimum lifetime. We can go to betmoose if you wanna do more than avvy/sig shit.

I take it these numbers come from Ubisoft? Also, has Ubisoft released a statement about Zombi u's performance? Any plans for a sequel?

There was also no point bringing up the vita, but that's a compeltely different story.

Because we all know your narratives already, you were even banned from nintendo threads.
