Yep, Wii U owners get an excuse not to buy, the publisher gets an excuse to further scale back support. Everybody wins!

And then moves on to mobile gaming!

that aint happening for Ubisoft, no time soon. Lets not act like they NEED to support WIi u


You're right, they don't need to at all. Y'see, there's this publisher you may have heard of called Gameloft...


cause not supporting WIi U is what got them where they are at?

Hmm also since now next gen versions of AC4 get a same time release, how much should the Wii U version outsell the PS4/XB1 versions? It will have an substantial advantage in install base, ultimately. A few hundred thousands of copies more?

Lol have you seen the preorders for Wii U? ihavent and thats the point. LOL this has to be a joke the PS4xone versions have been on top of the charts for a while. Wii U version MIGHT leg it out and thats a big might.

im curious to know what people will say when/if the WIi U version doesnt do as well as others or straight up flop. and thats looking to be the case, what then?

There won't be any need for an excuse, because the recent example of Rayman Legends makes it clear that only Nintendo systems must be examined.

We need more Nintendo fans who blame 360 and PS3 owners for bombs like Fuse and Lost Planet 3.

I actually made a really good post the other day comparing sales of PS3 games, that nobody wanted to touch. Out of 2856 games or so that are listed on VGChartz, only 368 sold above 500k. the rest were below 500k on a console with an install base of nearly 80 million. Using their own standards 77% of PS3 games were a flop for selling below 500k

Do you have a link to that post? I'm pretty interested.

the title should be changed, its very misleading to say the least. should have stated delayed to launch with all next gen versions. this thread, is like a article from ign or something, to get hits and nothing more.

This is likely because of the platform parity thing that MS enforces that caused Rayman to be delayed.

Hmm I don't know. I've been hearing the whole year that games don't sell very good on Wii U because of the small install base, and can't compete with PS360 versions of multiplats because of the same reason, which I understand and think it's obviously true (especially the 2nd part). But now the roles are shifting, Wii U will have the install base advantage over PS4/XB1, so going by that logic Wii U version should outsell those platforms, am I right? So I ask those people by how much?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I tried to find it but made too many posts since then. Its basically the same thing here except I gave examples of many of those games.

God of War collection and Saga

War for Cybertron

Monster Hunter

3D dot Heroes

Ratchet and clank collection

Not sure if it will work but here is link so you can look over the list yourself. Lot of quality titles that got poor sales on PS3.

77% of 2856 games is a pretty good bit.

it should but it ISNT and thats my point. THe preorder numbers for PS4 xone are MUCH higher than those of WIi U. So to answer your question its not going to outsell those. 

WHich brings me to my question what will people say then?
