we are talking about a game that released to 0 install base. even if the Wii U released to conicide with the day blops2 dropped it would have made little difference because people werent going to buy a whole new console to play a game for a system they already owned.

Many wouldn't have, but there would be some gamers who wanted a Wii U but also wanted to buy COD right away to keep up with all their COD-playing friends.

no, they would buy the game on the systems their friends have to play COD if they wanted to keep up, that system isnt Wii U

Most would, not all. BO2 sold 11 million week 1, it's just not realistic to say that there's no overlap with the 400,000 who bought a Wii week one.

the overlap is very small. BO2 sold 11 million first week. BO2 hasnt even sold 250000 copies to DATE. if that is not small overlap i dont know what is.

Missing out on such a big opening is significant. The current overlap is small becaue there WAS in fact no overlap, the game was late.

id agree with that, had it not been on WIi U a system that had NO install base. It would not have mattered if it came out the same time as the others, becaue most people would have bought it on those systems anyway.
