Poor Criterion. All that effort only to be slapped in the face by Wii-U owners. I'd buy it but I've already got it on Vita and PS3.
Well to be fair it only cane out Friday didn't it? Wouldnt next week be a better gauge?

All games come out on a Friday in the UK, apart from 'event' titles like Halo, Call of Duty and Tomb Raider.
All games come out on friday.
Generally games sell most of their first week sales on the first day and most of their first month in the first week.
Not out till the 29th?

Well... I'm sorry. LolProbably because it doesn't release until the 29th
heh beats
Yeah I know they all launch on Friday, just thought it's a bit early to say Criterion got a slap in the face But what do I know!
On another note, does this include d/l?
Is anyone saying "big success"? At least the percentage drop from Tri isn't quite as dramatic as the GOWs respective plummets, and that's for an expanded rerelease with zero advertising.I thought the UK market was dead/dying? Suddenly a debut at 12 is a big success?

That about wraps it up for EA unprecedented partnership on Wii U.

BS. Improvements or not to expect wii u owners to pay full wack for an old game is just stupid!!
Yes, theyre too busy buying... other.... hrrrm. An audience that has nothing but excuses isn't one many third parties are gonna bother aiming for.

Monster Hunter Tri debuted in the UK with around 16.000 - 17.000 units sold.
I don't think I'd describe the <5.5K of MH3U as impressive. I guess ymmv. On the plus side it probably had a ~5% attach rate, which isn't that bad.

Excuses? So expensive 3rd party ports that could of been played already on other consoles or can be picked up for cheap on other consoles is the future for third parties on the Wii U? Yes that will work
All I see is moans about ports, then moans they don't have anything extra or even when they do moans on why theyre not coming in at super budget pricing, and its like... yes... I wonder where all this leads to. On the developer and business side you have Criterion sat there thinking why they bothered at all.
Yet another shitty shooter selling well in the UK compared to an actual good game.
I wonder how Monster Hunter did in Germany.
You act as though the system owners should be happy that the system is being treated as a second class citizen because it is at least being given table scraps.
I think it kinda sucks that people see an improved port of an excellent game as 'table scraps'.
That's different because Nintendo.I can only assume the WiiU audience at large is going to pout and expect to only pay £15 for Wind Waker HD.
Tell me about it, I bought NSMBU this weekend. I blame the missus.
I'm still surprised at MW. It's the only game of its type on the system and they seemed to put some real work into it to mitigate the late port effect. They've gotta be slightly miffed to barely scrape past the Vita version.
That's different because Nintendo.
Can you blame them when they release an enhanced port that runs better and includes DLC that is paid on other versions, and it performs like this?The entirety of the "table scraps" is not all on the MW port. Its cool that Criterion is going the extra mile. However, I do expect EA and a lot of other publishers to support the system with exactly that: scraps.
New game? Naaaaah.
Old ports that potentially run worse, and are devoid of little things like DLC and other extras? Sure.
NFS: MW came out about 3 weeks before NSMBU. I can't imagine people complaining that NSMBU needs a price drop because it's an old game now.Even though I'd rather not pay full price for it, I'd imagine a remake of a 10 year old game is more warranted than a late port of a game that came out half a year ago.
Then again most people here seem to not want to get it because of the new artistic style so hey.

Good Friday this week.Luigi's Mansion 2 comes out Thursday. Wouldn't argue that it's an "event" title.
There is nothing quite as depressing in the game industry, as the UK Game charts.

To be honest, I think you're being a bit premature with judging the sales, but that's just me.
And I would think that the fact that Nintendo systems as of late have been getting shoddy ports would deter platform owners to buy it.
It's a vicious cycle really.
Good Friday this week.
