The only thing I accept is that 3rd parties continue to treat the wii u base like crap, and some of us aren't going to put up with it. With mass effect 2 released on ps3 at its time of release. A mil seems acceptable on a more established base. ME3 was released on a new console that likely has not played a ME game and it was released on the PS3 and 360 with the large bases. What were they expecting? This can be applied to other games, like AC3 and batman. Then it's shocking that those games sell poor? Yes, they sold poor, but the base is not responsible for all the blame. Take other moments like the rayman delay and 6 month Watch Dogs delay, and its not too surprising those versions did not sell so well.

Also, Fifa games also sell the strongest on Sony Consoles. I don't consider that a strong case for your argument.


so in your opinion what 3rd party game WOULD have sold. Cause its not like the exclusives did good either.

I think the best bet would have been if new exclusive games would have sold better than the ones released. While it didn`t sell as well, Zombi U did sell the best out of the 3rd party launch games, and it was both `new` and an exclusive game. If more newer games were made with more polish given to them, I think they would have had a better chance of selling better. Zombi U I was interested, but after hearing some reviews, I held off on it. That game I think could have been a great game if given more time on it.


and that game still flopped (the numbers here are overtracked) so surely you must understand why a 3rd party would not want to spend time and money to make an exclusive game with that low install base? Hell they wont do that for Xone and PS4 and those systems are actually selling, let alone do it for WIi U

While it did not sell so well, it currently stands as the best selling 3rd party game, and it was a launch game, so it was starting with no base. While 3rd parties wouldn`t like risk trying a new game vs an established base, the games they did released did not make much sense in the first place, I believe. So they sold poor, perhaps not that much of a surprise to most people. Releasing games already estblished on previous consoles onto a new console, especially ones that start on a later half of a series, doesn`t seem like a good, nor fair way to test the base.
