Ubisoft is done with the WiiU after this holiday season.

Very happy Pikmin squeaked into 10, the first WiiU game I've really enjoyed.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
<5k sales is just not making money back point. Abandon ship.
Cream always keeps me up for the WiiU hardware. He knows how to fish.

Damn that's pretty bad. Shame too, I heard that the port seemed to actually have some effort put into it. Things don't really look good for AC 4 and Watch Dogs on Wii U unless the holidays have some sort of impact on it.
sales outside the period etc

I see what you mean now, but let's not get too crazy here. ZombiU had an interesting concept but also too many flaws even before release and in the previews.
I'm also guilty of Splince Cell's performance, but that has more to do with how I'm allocating more time and money towards my 3DS and Vita.
Even MML3 would have been a better investment.
So at best 5K? Damn. I mean the PS3 version isn't so good either considering it sold 85k at best but at least it might make up the cost of porting it.

Damn that's so sad it almost makes me want to buy a copy of the Wii U version.
But it still wouldn't change a damn thing.
On the bright side, it looks I can get a cheap copy of the SC RC plane edition for cheap on PS3 soon...

You're correct. I can't remember the last time I bought a Nintendo game used...I buy pretty much their entire 1st-party lineup as it gets released.

9k is the number of posts, not the number of buyers. You can also post even if you didn't buy the game.

<5k copies sold on Wii U.
Approx 85k sold on PS3.
Approx 210k sold on 360.
Sold to 0.0027% of the total 360 userbase.
Sold to 0.0014% of the total Wii U userbase.
Sold to 0.0011% of the total PS3 userbase.
Edit: Total userbases of consoles calculated with worldwide figures. If someone has the US figures, they could do a better (more accurate) comparison

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wow--better than I thought it would be, I guess.
Nintendo really did a horrible job getting people to move on to Wii U from the Wii.
Nintendo did some promotions via youtube iirc. This is a pretty good split for Wii U install base, no?

Can we just accept the WiiU is just a delivery machine for Nintendo games now?
haha well I can't think of another 3 lol Lost Planet 3 copies sold
-_- yeah I don't wanna hear complaints about third parties being unreasonable in their expectations. That's some utterly crappy sales right there..i mean holy shit

Interesting, I wonder how far behind the Wii version was from the 360 version in sales.

Many of us in the WUST threads had already accepted that before launch.

whats SC?
Was that Vita only?
I thought that was rather evident when Liberation HD was announced for 360/PS3 only.
WiiU games don't need to go up against any other games to have a problem.
I did at first, too. I was very worried. More than usual.
Yes, Vita only.
Wow, so that's around 3-5k Wii U sales. Yikes.
On Vita.
would be foolish to assume that considering they announced several other titles for it that aren't just ports of a vita game

I think everyone already accepted that. What needs to happen is Nintendo needs accept that and do everything in their power to make the Nintendo fans buying their console happy.
Unified account system?
