So much for late ports being a good reason for low sales

It's a new gen and the ports are late by what, a couple of weeks max? Pff, this is ridiculous.

thats fair, but that doesnt explain the sales of games like COD Ghost and AC4 on Wii U versus those of the PS4/xone. Despite the fact that Wii U was already on the market for a year

Third party games don't generally do very well on Nintendo platforms. The userbases are different, there's a lot more competition on Wii U already, and it's a reasonable assumption that the release of a new console so close to the launch of those games made a good number of people wait for the next-gen version when they were going to get a next-gen console anyway (in which case you have to remember that the audience for CoD/AC on PS3/X360 was huge, and not so much on Nintendo consoles).
