this game better sell well on Wii U or there won't be any other CoD on the console, and that'll probably hurt 3rd party games over all on Wii U |
Black Ops 2 was on Wii U and that sold under 200K (according to VGC), I doubt CoD Ghost will do that much better.

Very true, and even more reason why this game needs to do better. BUT, hopefully this game will launch the same date as on the other platforms, and the instal base for the Wii U will be bigger now - so more people will be online playing it (which is a major selling point for the game)

Well few factors came to my mind to consider how poorly CoD can be for Wii U:
- Of all the Wii U owners, how many actually got it to play a CoD game? Because what makes a CoD game great is the online, and if BO2 sold under 200K, how many of them are actually still playing it constantly? (We know that there's enough die-hard CoD players on PS360 that the online wont go dry for awhile)
- There's a good chance that a lot of Wii U owners also have a PS3/Xbox 360, so wouldnt it be more benificial to get an online game that has a larger install base? Because that's what I'd do.
- The Wii U tablet controller isn't the most comfortable to use playing a FPS (from when I used it) so that may turn gamers away.
I can mailny see those that buy CoD for Wii U are gamers that only the Wii U/Nintendo only consoles.
I can be wrong but that's just what came to my mind.
BTW: Do you know how many Wii U console have been sold so far? I can't seem to find the numbers for it.

I agree with every one of your points above, except about the gamepad, since I haven't tried it for fps yet. And that's one of the problems facing CoD on Wii U. What needs to be done is getting a online comunity going.
I think Wii U has sold somewhere between 3m-3.5m....

If Nintendo can get a strong online community that would definitely help tho I rarely hear as much about it compared to PSN and XBL.
The Wii U gamepad is fine to play FPS, but competitively you don't want to use the gamepad screen as you just want to stay focus on one screen. The devs for BO2 even said that they suggest playing with the regular Wii U controller than the gamepad. I can imagine the hardcore FPS players using the Wii U gamepad then get mad and throw the controller since they do that with normal controllers also lol
3-3.5mil seems to be alright but they really need something more ground breaking to push the sales more.
