| Soundwave said: To be honest I don't think EA will be the last. If the next CoD game on the Wii U doesn't sell solid numbers (provided it's even coming out on Wii U), Activision will bail out as well outside of Skylanders. The numbers these Wii U third party games are selling through is atrocious, there needs to be a huge pick up in the fall in the sales of those games (not just Nintendo's own games) otherwise publishers will move on. |
It will not since most people that have a WiiU already bought a Ps360 before to play games like COD with their friends which also have the same console.
Thats the problem those stupid devs dont understand that you cant sinply say every WiiU owner = potential NEW customer.
I for example never play shooters on a console unless they are exclusive PC has simply the better input method for shooters. I play most multiplat games on PC and then I buy exclusives on consoles.
Third party will exactly do this:
They will release games on current gen and WiiU then they see WiiU versions dont really sell (because of most WiiU owners already having current gen systems) then they will start to abandon WiiU and will wait for PS4 and nextbox to come out.
Then the new games for those systems will be made and WiiU will not get a second chance. BUT when the next COD would not come out to PS360 but only to next gen systems people would buy the WiiU version (unless they are completely brand loyal and all of their friends are) but since it will not come out that wont happen.
Third party is the reason why third party doesnt work on Nintendo consoles. They have no patience and are ignorant. For example COD on Wii had a nice little userbase but since the games stopped coming out the community died and the Nintendo gamers that started to like COD went to PS360. Thats the fault of Activision. And since those Nintendo players now have friends etc on those systems why would they buy COD on WiiU? They buy it on PS360. Unless its not available there anymore.
Those Nintendo players will start to buy COD games for WiiU if COD wont come out on current-gen systems anymore.
