http://wiiudaily.com/2013/09/low-blacklist-wii-u-sales/

Sales figures for the North American region are notoriously harder to get than those for The United Kingdom and Japan, but according to a member on NeoGAFs forums who is usually right about NPD sales figures, Splinter Cell: Blacklist for Wii U accounted for only 1.6% of total sales for the title. This is depressingly low compared to the Xbox 360 version, which is said to account for around 70% of sales.
Of course these figures dont include any digital purchases that may have been made on any platform, console or PC. However, putting sales figures numbers to percentages means that 1.6% of sales is around 5,000 copies. For those who were having trouble finding this title at GameStop, this is likely why. Single copies were rumored to be sent to locations and once that copy was sold, thats it for the title.

Hopefully Ubisoft wont see these abysmal sales figures as a reason to stop supporting the Wii U with its AAA titles, as that would leave Activision as the only major publisher left that supports the platform

Spot on assessment. The U will fade into darkness, just like their game selection.

NPD doesn't even figure in digital sales, so those numbers are garbage.

Well, Rayman, last I checked is still outselling every other version on the Wii U, so it should hold them up somewhat.

Ass Creed IV and Watch Dogs will sell better. There was much less hype for Splinter Cell.

Also true on the latter. Seriously, how many people were even psyched for that game? I recall nothing but backlash when it was announced, saying it wasn't anything like the original three games in terms of stealth.

I'm going to pick it up when I can get it cheap, just like I will get those other Ubisoft games. I'm grasping for reasons why I would ever buy these games for the Wii U, though. The controller support looks nice, but the jump in graphics between the Wii U and PC versions is pretty big.

I've had enough Mario for this generation, I've owned 3D world and New Super Mario Bros 2. May purchase Donkey Kong or Sonic as not owned either since the Snes / MD era.

Wrong market for Wii U gamers, as a Nintendo gamer myself I could care less about that game...That why Rayman selling well on the Wii U compared to the other consoles, that the right game to target Wii U gamers.

Digital sales aren't factored in. This is why sales charts have the PC version at 0.2 million.
