Looks like Sony fans just got a cold hard splash of reality... like it or not, COD is a system seller. Were you honestly expecting any of the PS4 exclusives to do numbers like that? Killzone was never that big of a shooter series, Knack is a joke, and the rest of the retail launch lineup consists of ports of current-gen games. |
Call of Duty selling your system is a cold reality lol? I sure bet Nintendo would love to have CoD's system selling ability. |
COD was/is a system mover for the Xbox and PlayStation platforms both this gen and last. Nintendo's audience is not the same as COD's target audience... hence the reason why BLOPSII and Ghosts have sold abysmally on the Wii U, despite both being stellar ports and offering all the same features as their PS360 counterparts.
Even quality non-FPS 3rd party titles like Assassin's Creed 4 have sold a mere fraction on Wii U of what their PS360 counterparts sell. Loyal Nintendo fans always complain about the lack of third party support on their consoles, but the fact is they never ever put their money where their collective mouths are when push comes to shove.

Fun fact: about the same percentage of Wii U owners bought Batman Arkham Origins and Assassin's Creed 4 as PS3/360 owners. ;)

Which isn't necesssarily a good thing. There's much less software for Wii U owners to choose from, meaning the software that is available will get more sales than it would have otherwise. Plus, most Wii U owners are the early adopters who bought the console around launch. This is generally the hardcore crowd, who are the people that typically buy the most software. If Nintendo's target audience really did have the same amount of interest in these multiplats that the PS360 audience do, then sales of these games on Wii U would be quite a bit higher than they are now.
