Black Ops II on WiiU has only managed 160k, Crysis isn't anywhere near as popular.


There is no money to be made from it. Pretty simple.

Now I wonder why this post was ignored?

This is the truth people. Porting it to WiiU in 2013 makes no business sense. Plain and simple.

 

Those resources are better placed elsewhere.

Because the people who are quoting straight sales numbers are cherry-picking their logic.

Then prove him wrong and show why it is a worthwhile investment.

I don't buy this whole "They are being meanies because of Origin".

 

The game is releasing in 2 1-1/2 months and the game barely even sold over 1M on each PS3 and 360. By the time the game would release the WiiU would maybe have a 3-3.5M userbase. What kind of numbers would they have sold if it came out on WiiU? Even if they begin porting it now, what kind of sales would that investment bring with a possible 1+ year late port?

Plain and simple, it makes no sense. That's all there is.

 

 EA's money is better spend on other projects.

making a port cannot be that expensive, I'm actually curious if anyone knows the ball park figure here.  Publishers also need to think about branding their ip's even if it doesn't do breakthrough numbers on a particular console.
