Except that my point is that Splinter Cell for example has sold around the same as this game will probably sell.
And more so, we're talking about a game launched 2 years or 2 years and a half ago vs. a new game after 1 month.

You are way more optimistic about how much Devil's Third is going to sell than I am.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Its looks awesome. I'm excited.
From what we've heard about the sales for Splinter Cell on the Wii U, it would actually be pretty hard for it to sell much worse, provided it gets a general release at retail.
How much do you think it will sell?
Edit: for info, these are the launch sales for Splinter Cell Blacklist in US:
Nice dodge.
?
It's not a dodge. I already told you I think it'll sell worse than whatever Splinter Cell/Black Ops 2 has ended up with. I'm not giving you a concrete number because frankly I don't know what that number is and neither do you. All you've provided is launch number percentiles.

The launch figures are the biggest number possible. Usually the following months are under 10-15% of the launching month especially for games like Splinter Cell. You know very well that 4800 copies sold in the first month means much less than you thought, it would be nice to admit that. But whatever.
Alright. Devil's Third will sell less than 5000 copies in NA in whatever similar timeframe.
I am making that a declarative statement.
If people cared about that, I would still be able to find sessions of Anarchy Reigns.

Really wish they translated his lines so we might be talking about gameplay instead of industry analyst amateur hour
Unfortunately, that game was actually not that fun for a lot of people.

The fact that I can't makes me cry.

Not everyone will be charmed by it. For some, it's purely because of its Wii U exclusivity, for others it's gonna come down to graphics or gameplay (or whatever else).
My preorder remains intact though.

Got no problem with how it looks.
Is there some sort of AA at work in those shots? (looks kinda blurry - FXAA maybe?)
Unless they are "touched" ofcourse.

Game looks like a shit ton of fun. I just hope the single player is substantial.
Ok, that's like plenty of maps!
The video also shows more AA than usually Wii U games have, I think.
Likely supersampled.

Those MP maps look fantastic.
The whole game seems to have shaped up quite nicely. The city levels give me some Army of Two vibes, which is always a good thing.
It will be also one of the few games, where I'll dive into the MP from day 1 before finishing the campaign, just to experience the insane carnage right from the beginning.
Hope the player count won't dry up too soon and the game gets at least some decent sales figures. It's great that these kind of games are still being made and especially the fact that it comes out on the Wii U is awesome.

Unfortunately Nintendo has no idea how to market this game.
They don't realize that if the MP has a lot of depth and modes and things to do that should be the focus.
It does suck because if the MP turns out and the base building and game play is solid it would be one of those cult games with a really solid community. As it is I just don't see Nintendo being able to convert people in to playing it.

It's like nine months ago Anarchy Reigns and Ninja Gaiden got hammer drunk and fucked in a movie theater on a Saturday night.
Pretty much this. It doesn't look like the most technically brilliant game on the system, but it is hardly the worst. The Wii U is never really going to be able to amaze people graphically with games that utilise realistic artstyles as they will never stack up with what people now expect as the norm on PC, PS4 and XBO. The real test for this game will ultimately be how it plays.
Hope remains.

I'm really excited about this game from the "reveal" a year ago, really hope it will have an active online community, even if will be small. But I'm pretty sure there will be one, because all people that will buy DT will be absolutly sure on what they'll spend their money, is not the kind of game that you buy because of the commercials XD
That sounds really cool !
I don't mind playing user maps, as long as they are implemented well.

Have we had this on a Nintendo console since Timesplitters 2?

Many screens and artworks are posted here.
Here are those I like.
Seems the protagonist and the major villains all have their own tattoo. Extremely cool idea. I think those gods/Buddhas represent that particular character. Could anyone help research on those tattoos?
Edit: oh... The aritcle is written by L-A

These screens look much better than the video.
lol
face it, if you haven't bought a Wii U with its current library right now, you're never buying one
I will for Xenoblade and Zelda.
Screen shots look nice but I want to see more gameplay footage.
People keep saying things like this. I wish people would stop. If the current library and what we know is coming very soon isn't enough to buy a Wii U one isn't going to buy a system. The library is there and it won't be changing much with one or two more games. Unless they simply don't have the money right now. If that's the case then people should just be honest instead of making it seem like one single game will be the turning point only for that goal post to be moved further.
