Lego games are amazing, especially Lego City on Wii U.

[mcstorm]

I agree Lego City was a really fun game. I am looking at getting the Movie game on the WiiU too.

[abzdine]

do you know if it uses gamepad the same way as City?

[mcstorm]

Im not sure but that was my thinking and the reason I was looking to pick it up on the WiiU over the xbox one.

@abzdine

Yes, The LEGO Movie Videogame uses the GamePad.

[barb_wire]

Is that all? Seems very low actually and that's across all formats as well.

[Hk85karlsson]

Doesn´t seem to be the most expensive game to develop either.
I love the 2 demos though (Marvel/LEGO:The Videogame)

[Skate-AK]

I actually came here to say the same thing.

[Baka-akaB]

Low ? Guys it's for 2013 , against every blockbusters even like GTA ... and in the "kids" department some competition with Disney's Infinity and Skylanders ... And it's already going faster a 400+k for early 2014

i'm sure they are happy , and it will probably go higher in the following years with the hype from the Lego movie

[barb_wire]

The thing is, sales wise that's terrible.. just look back at previous LEGO games, sales wise across all formats and the 2013 numbers are truely terrible.

A few examples and some of these are old now since the games don't sell anymore.

LEGO Star Wars (as of 2009) 6.7mil copies
LEGO Star Wars 2 (as of 2009) 8.2mil copies (heck, it sold 1.1mil copies on in it's opening week)

LEGO Indy 1 (as of 2012) 11mil copies
LEGO Pirates (as of 2012) 3mil copies

Maybe the LEGO have played out? (hope not, I love them, think they're amazing little time suckers and a blast to play)

But it's obvious that the sales have been declining more and more as time goes on.. I haven't found sales' figures for LotR, Batman 2, or both HP's.

Either way, won't stop me from getting 'LEGO The Hobbit' next month.. and I see TT Games has a LEGO Marvel vs DC Superheroes listed on it's wikipedia page but that hasn't been announced yet.

[Baka-akaB]

Of course it's wearing out , but again you have to remember what they are going against at the holidays . besides it's only UK

[--Onilink--]

yeah... seems a bit low. Probably the quote is being taken out of context and its for Nintendo platforms or something like that

[DanielGearSolid]

That kind of sucks

[vikingland1]

Considering the number of consoles that seems low. 160 million+ 360's & PS3's. Not even counting PS4 & XB1 & WiiU. Those numbers can't be right.

[MegaRay]

"Since 2013" i am sure WB is happy about 1.6+ million a year.

[Rockefellow]

Assuming 5 different Lego games launched in 2013, across half a dozen platforms, this seems unbelievably low.

[Loadedklip]

This is either a misquote or miscommunication.

[millzy102]

It's only UK read the actual paragraph under the title, Warner bros UK so Lego sold more than a million in UK alone read people. So everyone bringing up world wide sales numbers of previous Lego games have wasted there time. Is it really that hard.

[BattleN]

We all waste our time :p

[Ocsta]

Seems lower than I would have thought. Weren't there tons of LEGO games released last year?

[Geekman]

I liked Undercover, but that was my last Lego game. They're getting dull.
