How many of game buyers purchase DLC anyway? I've never bought DLC my friends never bought DLC why is it such a big deal?


Exactly, this is the reason why no having DLC shouldn't be an excuse for Wii U owners if the game flop.  It's is not like the game is missing features or things like that.


Their is around 4mil WiiUs out there, how many of these 4mil WiiU owners also have a PS3and/orXbox360? Probably alot. I'd go as far as to say that it's probably half of them if not more. With the WiiU version offering less but costing the same price, why would any of these 2mil multiplat owners buy it on WiiU? They will all buy it on their other consoles. So out of these 4mil, take away half of them that will obviously buy it on other consoles thx to Ubisoft, and also take away those who are legimately not interested in the game, how many sales are left?

It's not that WiiU owners don't buy 3rd party games, it's that WiiU owners who most of them are multiplat owners buy 3rd party games on their other consoles for obvious reasons provided by those 3rd party publishers. Me for example, I'm a WiiU owner. Will Warner Bros get a WiiU version of Batman Origins from me? No, because I preordered the limited edition on PS3 cause WiiU not only did'nt have the limited edition as far as a know but also lacks the entire multiplayer mode. They will still get a sale from a WiiU owner but not the WiiU version since they are offering a subpar version. But offcaurse me buying it does'nt matter cause WB will obviously bitch and moan about WiiU owners not buying their games neverless.

Missing DLC it's not the same thing as missing a multiplayer mode, missing features or bad frame rate.  It's the same full game in every console with the same gameplay and probably almost the same performance.  The reality is there's is a minority who really buy DLC for games.  If peope really choose the ps3/ps4/360/one version over Wii U version, it would be for whatever reason except DLC, so if the game is destined to flop on Wii U, with or without DLC, it won't make a difference.  And if wii U owner would keep making excuses in every chance they have then don't complain when developers cease once and for all to develop for Wii U.  First years of ps3 owners were similar, always having the worst version of games with badly frame rate and ps3 owners still buy the games and look at now, 360/ps3 version looking almost the same.  The choice is simple, buy the version or don't have any version at all.
