thread derailement? you bring the same old excuses everytime a third party game fail on a Nintendo system the ol ''it's either malice or incompetance'' mombo jumbo

Derailment, by picking on one version in particular. You have a history of this.

And again, you attempt to dismiss me. Present an argument.

jesus christ aren't you something, the wii U version sold 30k compaired to the x360 version is at 500k and the ps3 is at 400k how is that derailement, the game under perform on all platforms but it's clearly ''flop of the year worthy on the wii U'' and just like you said ''Advertising evidence is always anecdotal based on where you live and what media you consume'' , it's true the wii U version was the inferior port yet it wasn't broken enough to explain the 30k. And my point to why it could be flop of the year is because how Ubisoft reacted to the sales changing their tunes from very good support for the wii U to their biggest games missing features (dlc,online...) because they lost confidence on how much those games will sale. but no!!!! it must be a conspiracy theory started by EA to Doomed the wii U right?!?

Seems about proportional to userbase size to me. While doing about 3x as well as it did would have been better, Ubisoft clearly needs to manage their expectations (no reason ZombiU couldn't make a profit at the level it sold, not like it had over-the-top production values or anything).

And that failure to manage expectations leads to them shooting themselves in the foot, which *will* cause their games to fail on Wii U.

Again, they either decided to ditch the Wii U for whatever reason (and this was way back in February, really, with the cheap shot from Rayman Legends), and are now just phoning it in to justify future abandonment, or they have no clue what they're doing.

In EA's case, it's clear that it's all about the butthurt. Ubisoft, with their history of odd decisions, could just be making some more strange choices.
