Update: Watsham has confirmed that 3DS has the best-selling version (see below).

Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared an interesting sales tidbit about Mutant Mudds Deluxe on Twitter just a few minutes ago.

According to Watsham, sales of the Wii U version have outperformed the Steam, PS3, and PS Vita release combined. He said:

For what it’s worth, Mutant Mudds Deluxe has been out on Wii U longer than the PS3 and PS Vita versions by a few months, but the PC release hit Steam nearly a year prior.

As for the 3DS, that version tops all, Watsham says:

There hasn’t been much Wii U news coming out of Japan these days, but this week’s Famitsu does have a release date for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Leaks indicate that the title will be available for Wii U and PS3 on May 15. Pricing is set at 6,980 yen. The latest leaks don’t mention any of Transformed’s other versions such as 3DS.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed originally launched for Wii U on November 18, 2012, so this has been a long time coming for Japan.
