Didn't say it's not better.  Or different.  It's still a military shooter with less than half the sales of CoD.  It is second fiddle.  Rockband was better than Guitar Hero, many people liked Sonic better than Mario. Regardless, one is iconic with name value, one much less.  Right now Wii U needs the name value titles to sell hardware.  The others will follow if there is money to be made.

That said, I do think not having Battlefield is significant because it will be graphically of high quality on next gen titles.  It's also one that easily could have been on Wii U if they wanted, unlike titles that were mostly done with PS360 in mind.


actually its not. by about a year ago it already had 15 million units sold. and EA expects it to each 18M by end of this quarter. battlefield is in no way a second fiddle game. and in no way is it not hugely devastating for the WiiU not to get it. its probably the 3rd or 4th biggest selling game in the world after CoD, GTA and probably Fifa. you cant say that its a second tier game because its in the same genre as CoD
