Saints Row IV, Splinter Cell Blacklist and Disney Infinity dominated the top three positions. Disney Infinity on the the Wii sold at 21% of sales, Wii U at 10% and 3DS at 4%. Although it should be noted that The Wonderful 101's 22nd place is that it didn't include sales directly on the Wii U eShop, which did include a 30% off promotion for those that also purchased Pikmin 3.
What a bummer.

This was to be expected.

That was expected anyway. Stil sad, since it's a great game imo.

People in UK don't like super hero things as much as like America do, so I guess this was predictable.

The Smurfs 2 outsold The Wonderful 101. Please excuse me while I question the mentality of the people who bought Smurfs 2.

A system that lacks a lot of hit titles is bound to have trouble breaking the charts initially.

everyone was saying that W101 was the game that will save the WiiU !
not surprised, i think most have given up, also many shops in the UK don't stock WiiU games anymore so it will never get the attention from the casual buyer, if you want to buy a game for your WiiU you have to go & look for it.

It takes multiple heavy hitters to sell a console and it's a shame W101 didn't break the mold.

Let just hope more people will buy TW101 once they got their WiiU for Zelda/Donkey Kong or Mario 3DWorld.
TW101 wasn't just a system seller. Still I feel bad about it.

Bummer, I expected it but Platinum did what they can after that trailer. Like 30% of non Wii U owners were blown away by that trailer.

I'm sorry but the first scene he showed had me in tears from the laughter. I was not expecting that at all.
Now I continue to watch.

To be fair there were quite a number of different major releases that would have over shadowed Wonderful 101. Not to mention that just about everyone judges a game purely on the IGN score, 7.4 isn't necessarily a bad score but I wouldn't look twice had I not seen the W101 Nintendo direct trailer. Still these sales figures don't really surprise me.

IGN simply doesnt have the skill required to accurately assess platinum/clover hardcore action games like this. Its painfully obvious just by watching vids of them playing.
They got blasted up and down out of the water and into orbit for their godhand review.
They eventually figured out they were morons who just couldnt play the game while reviewing it, and since have included god hand on every top ps2 games list.... But they never changed the score. Making god hand the only 3/10 scored game in their top 20's list.
IGN literally played a heavy role in the destruction of clover.
Theyve learned that they suck enough to never do something as stupid as the god hand review again, but not enough to admit that they just dont have the necessary skill to properly review these kinds of games.

Such horrible broken unreliable controls.

I will openly admit to be awful at games, but am still shocked at how bad the IGN people are. I saw them play W101 and basically just dying several times and seemingly having no idea what they are doing.
How can you review games if you can't play them?
