| runqvist said: Hey, I was being fair. You are the one who wanted to compare games to generation leader and I compared third place console to the most likely third place console. But don't worry, I will try a bit harder to please you. Let's compare again: PS2 CoD 2005: http://www.vgchartz.com/game/4932/call-of-duty-2-big-red-one/ 360 CoD 2005: http://www.vgchartz.com/game/298/call-of-duty-2/
As we can clearly see, 360 sold 0.87m less than ps2 cod or 33% less than ps2 version. Going by your rules, Wii U version should do within 1 million of 360 version or with roughly 33% difference compared to 360 version. I can live with that comparison. Edited: Got the percentages wrong. |
My only point was a new console takes significant time to match the sales of the generation before it. You can't expect any console to match immediately. I don't know why you're trying to force this WiiU to last gen comparison already. Hell, even multiplat games on X720 will sell less than X360/PS3 next holiday.
Furthermore, COD has changed tremendously over this gen. COD2 barely sold 6m total. The latest CODs do more than that on one console.
Wii's max COD sales ~2m... last one only ~500k. This one should do better, but with if it gets a max around 1.5m, I'd call that a success and good showing for a new console. Don't expect it to reach the ~2/3rds of what it does on PS360 individually. That's just nonsense. neXtBox/PS4 won't even do that at launch.
