I think they'd be excited by 100,000 (5% of base), but realistically 50,000 should of been all that could be expected. Even if they did get the 5m out by March. Considering the Miiverse has 20 to 30k in it all the time, I think they sold between 50k and 100k. Since the game has had no sale prices they should have revenue of around (75k*$35) $2.65million. I doubt they spent half that on the port. This report is bogus. Activision probably spent less than $1m porting the game and I'm sure they've made that back and then some. While the overall sales of WiiU have died off and thus game sales are likely lower than they all want, its certainly not losing money for them. |
maybe they expected that since wiiU was getting the same CoD as ps360 instead of a down port that it would actually do ps360 type numbers. if it had attach ratios similar to ps3 (which is lower than 360) wiiU would have done 440k by now.
afterall, the excuse for low wii numbers was it wasn't up to par and feature rich as the ps360 versions. that can't be said for the wiiU version... it even supported 3 control schemes.
