this is one of the most logicless posts I've seen. the amount a game sells on a system doesn't affect support for the other console. if only the console that sells the most multiplats had them, ps3 wouldn't receive games. and i saw a coment mentioning the wii u version unavailable in some countries.

with that said, pre orders numbers already pointed to the ps4 version outselling the wii u's, so what's the point of this?

Because it didn't just outsell it.  It outsold it somewhere in the range of 10-20x.  It sold more than Black Ops II Wii U has over the past year.  Pretty sure the PS3/360 sales gaps were never this big outside of maybe Japan, and unless a game had potential in the west a lot of Japanese devs didn't support the 360.

Since the launch of the Wii U there have been a lot of discussions over attach rates and late ports.  Plenty of people have argued that having an attach rate near the PS3/360 was good for BOII, and that if it hadn't released late it would have done better.  Now we have a version releasing the same day as the others that did significantly worse than a platform with zero install base.

While these are UK sales, so being unavailable in other countries wouldn't matter, I have also seen arguments that stores didn't stock the Wii U version.  However, if true, the fact that retailers aren't stocking the Wii U version of one of the biggest games of the year does not spell hope for Wii U third parties.

you still didn't counter argumented, the amount it sells on other consoles is irrelevant.

you also lowly try to intensify your "point" by mentioning the 0 installed base, as if it would make a difference if it released now or later on ps4.

this is the ps4 game that will be number 1 in sales for a good while, there is just no point in using it as an argument when we all knew it would sell better than the wii u version.
