'Crysis 3' not coming to Wii U due to lack of "business drive"

Given Black Ops 2 sales, it probably couldn't be justified from a revenue perspective.

So many people have said this in countless threads.

Rather then make a generic statement how about you say what your expectations are for a console that just launched with a user base of what about 1.5million (Japan excluded as they don't buy COD anyway)?

Factor in that it is also a late port and most would already own the game on PS3/360. So to me 160K sold to 1.5million WiiU owners is a approx 10% tie ratio.

Now tell me this when the PS4 and nextbox launches at the same time the next COD is due out, shoudl Activision not support the system as there is "not enough users" from a revenue perspective.

Call of Duty 2 sold almost twice as many units first week on the X360 as Black Ops 2 has in ~2 months on the WiiU. Add in the fact that DLC will likely arrive to a very lukewarm reception on the platform (for lack of significant HDD space), and its not a very rosy picture.

You can make all of the excuses you like for the WiiU, but when your top selling 3rd party game has sold 350,000 units in 2 months, with those following at 160k among three titles, you aren't making a very good case for publishers to latch on to your platform with core titles. Especially when the console is (allegedly) not meeting sales expectations.
