Say what? Your info is all wrong: XBox 360: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/38683/Global/ WiiU: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41238/Global/
NintendoLand and NSMBU both sold well beyond what COD2 did on launch. Almost everyone has those 2 games that has a WiiU. You're right that COD2 was THE game to have when you picked up a 360 because it was the only game to have. XBox 360 didn't launch with a massive franchise. COD was the game I saw demoed every store I went in. |
I don't know why you are linking global VGC data in a thread about NPD sales. Especially when it is clear that the US numbers have been adjusted down while for some reason they have neglected to alter the Global/Americas totals. I doubt the rest of the Americas accounted for 100k+ sales of NSMBU when it only did 243k in the US. Also I'm not talking about Nintendoland as most of the sales are from bundles.
NSMBU sold 243k in the US. Call of Duty 2 sold 260k in November 2005 in the US.
Here is a list of the software sales in the launch month for the Wii/WiiU/PS3/360.

So now that we have that clarified. We see that Call of Duty 2 sold to an even greater percentage of 360 owners than NSMBU did, so by your logic the rest of the software should have suffered due to such a large franchise taking up people's money. However it didn't. Numerous other games managed to sell significantly more than what BO2 did on the Wii U. In fact, each person who bought a 360 purchased more than three times the games that Wii U owners did. So apparently CoD2 wasn't the only game to have.
