Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Watch Dogs to Wii U... But does anybody care?

might pick it up when it goes on eshop sale for >£15 that's how I've been buying Ubisoft games on the Wii U recently.

they get to see that the market is there, but that we're not paying top whack for half arsed ports.

it won't move any consoles that's for sure but I hope they have set their expectations in a reasonable range. 200k should be Ok.


if it is 200k and it hits 200k, then they will say they were expecting 500k an when and if it hits 500k, they'll say it was even more and that sales are poor.



I'll be waiting to hear more about why I should buy it.

Basically, it was on my list of must-buy games before the delay. Now Ubisoft need to sell it to me - and from what I've seen so far, it looks like Ubisoft are sending it to die, so I'm skeptical of the idea that they'll actually sell it to me.

And if it's the same game as the 360/PS3 versions, at full price, with no major features specific to the gamepad (off-tv and map display don't count as major features), they can sell it to me as much as they want, I'm still not getting it. There has to be some sort of "benefit" to having to wait an extra 6 months, otherwise I'm not going to patronise a company that doesn't treat me with respect.



The real question is : Does anybody care about the game itself anymore?



3DS FC :  4339 - 3326 - 7693. Add me :) Nickname Tin

Im actually going to buy it. I like the concept of it. My only problem is i hope they use the game pad really well, and that its R18+ here in aus

And since i dont have a ps3/4, xbox 360/one and a good pc
The wii u was the only way



Pocky Lover Boy!

I'll buy it, it will flop, it will be Ubisoft's fault, Ubisoft will blame Wii U owners

because it's a late port?

even if it was release at same time,it wouldn't sell more than 500k LTD.

Nintendo's consoles don't sell third party games unless the game is "family-friendly" or "looks like a nintendo game".

If there is someone to blame here,is nintendo who always had problems with third party games.

No.
That's what they will say. It wouldn't have sold very much, but it could have sold decently. It's entirely Ubisoft's fault for delaying the game 6 months. Ubisoft should know by know you can only gain a support base on a console if you consistently support it. And family friendly? How about Fatal Frame? Zombi U? Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors? Even Metroid isn't that family friendly. For god's sake, Just because they had 1 console that was more family oriented doesn't mean they all are.

Zombi U was a flop:

Hyrule Warriors already drop off the jap chartz(the main market for musou games).

Do you really believe that Fatal frame and Bayonetta will sell well?

Bayonetta can do decently but less than the first one on PS3.Fatal frame will definitely flop!

And yet Zombi U sold 710 000 units. Fatal Frame will probably sell wel in Japan, Hyrule Warriors has another shot in EU, and NA and Japan during the holidays. It'll sell well enough

Ironically, it's only Wii U owners.

That's so true! I bet nobody would be talking about WD right now if the WiiU version would have been cancelled!
