Splinter Cell: Blacklist sales on Wii U account for less than 2% of total sales

While Splinter Cell certainly underperformed across the board, people are being ridiculous with these attach rate comparisons.  A new console having a similar or worse attach rate to 7+ year old ones is not good.  Even more so when that results in less than 4800 units in its first month in the US.

If you actually think this, you must have been going crazy over 360 software sales in 05 and 06.  After all it had a Splinter Cell game that sold 224k in its first week in the US.  An attach rate of 8.3%.  Madden sold more in one week than any third party software on the Wii U so far.  Oblivion had a 20.2% attach rate in the US first week.  The list goes on.

Why exactly do you think PS4/XBO sales would be close to 20k?  (besides the fact that the Wii U version isn't even at 20k yet, and it is substantially overtracked in the US.)

Not sure where you are going with this comparing sales of series that are gigantic like Madden. Even Oblivion was a pretty big deal (HYPE!)and XBox owners already had a taste with the popular Morrowind. Splinter Cell is no longer a big series as it was during the XB/PS2/GC gen. The first X360 splinter cell sold as it did because it was a follow up to a major series of the previous gen. The Wii U is in a different postion than say a X1 or PS4 where its closest competition is a very expensive new machine. Id wager to say the majority of U owners have an XBOX or PS3 at their disposal and would likely buy on the superior versions on those consoles. Im a pretty big game person, but I wouldnt know this game was coming out at all if it wasnt for the multiple threads saying the Wii U version would not include split screen. More than anything those Wii U owners are probably playing GTA or Madden or anything else other than a game from a series that will likely be put to rest. If you really want to attack Wii U game sales, wait for when Bayonetta 2 bombs but this is not a good example.

Edit: Theres no way the Division should be on Wii U. That is the only game of anything shown next gen that has caught my attention.
