| pezus said: Let's face it, Black Ops II has sold abysmally on Wii U but why is that? Some people say because it's a "late" port (by ~two weeks). Other people say it's because of the small userbase. Black Ops Vita has already sold 580k, yet it's an abysmal game (~30 score on Metacritic). Most people agree that WiiU should overtake Vita total hardware sales this year. But without further ado, here's what I think: The next WiiU CoD will not outsell this abysmal Vita CoD. This would be despite WiiU's much larger userbase (this holiday vs. Vita's userbase last holiday). Since I see Declassified ending up with sales just above 700k or so (without more holiday bundles), this means I think WiiU CoD next won't sell more than 700k. Agree/Disagree? Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified sales: 0.58m Edit: Numbers adjusted (Declassified 130k up and CoD U 10k down or so) |
Just to confirm what it sounds like... you're making a prediction of the next CoD title on the Wii U on the basis of... sales of the first one in its first 7 or so weeks? And then extrapolating that... how? What's your basis for this reasoning?
Making a prediction is entirely your prerogative, but if you're going to make a whole thread for it, you really need to back up your argument with something more solid than early sales figures, especially when comparing a launch title to a not-launch-title. Launch sales are different from sales at any other point in a console's life, including the holiday season for a system launched early in the year (that is, that holiday is different from launch sales).
EDIT: To be clear, I'm not actually arguing your prediction, so much as your method of justification. I disagree with your prediction, but I wouldn't make a thread about it, because there isn't sufficient sales evidence for the prediction that I'd make - it would be pure gut instinct.
