Call of Duty: Ghosts Wii U accounts for less than 1% of game’s total sales

The question you have to ask, and the question Activision needs to ask, is why should one buy Call of Duty on Wii U? If there is no reason to do so, then why have any expectations? I say every sale is bonus when:

- The fanbase is not on Wii U with a game that's mostly played socially with friends
- Wii U version runs with a considerably lower framerate
- Wii U version has no online support
- Wii U version has no DLC

What Nintendo needed to do, was securing that publishers bring their best products on their console. It's too late for that now. No one is associating Nintendo with quality multiplatform titles and it costs too much money on both Nintendo's part as on the third parties part to change this image.

Sad but true. Third parties expect to be heavily subsidized, and Nintendo had one opportunity to do so, last year. Really, Nintendo's relations with third parties will be damaged beyond repair after this generation, except for shovelware, as both sides will have no reason to interact any longer (any successes the Wii U experiences from now on will be entirely Nintendo's victories, cementing Nintendo's belief that they can go it alone, and third parties will see record-low sales of Wii U games as reason to dodge Nintendo platforms in perpetuity).

Granted, i think handheld-home convergence is coming, at least from Nintendo, after the Wii U and 3DS
