Or maybe COD 3 sucked so bad that people figured ill just buy the non crap versions for the other system. Funny thing is DS GOT MW1 and that declinded as well whats that excuse. 

Considering COD sales actually INCREASED on HDs until recently and PS4/Xbone had a much better sales than both Wii U versions combined despite being new consoles. LOL i doubt they skipped it, and even if they did, that just reinforces the idea of not have an istall base for said games.

AC4 was patched up, you would know that if you played the game. and even then so what? Its not like its inferior to the other versions sans PS4/1. Just admit that their isnt an audience for the game, I seriously doubt people were holding out because its not significantly better than PS360 versions. So Wii U gamers are so snobbish they wouldnt buy it if its on par? And you wonder why it gets crap support.

DS is simple, people don't wanna play COD on a screen the size of a matchbox, and it was a totally different game, haha.

That is correct, there is no install base for gimped, sub-par ports on Wii U. The install base is sick of them.

We're not taking about on par, we're talking about late (a month late everywhere but NA) and technically subpar. It's good that it got patched, (what's the framerate like now, btw?) but the damage was done. And with a console install base of 4 million...

a million had no problem playing the game when it first released. So like you said yourself there was a install base with those kinds of numbers, so your people didnt want to play it theory is flat out false. Why did sales drop?

So how much of these imaginary people exist? Matter of fact you might be right, they moved on to the other systems and in the case of WIi U it wasnt selling that great anyway, so they seemed to skip that and jump into PS4/xone camp.

Was it really a month late? I thought it was a week, so let me ask, if a Wii U owner and im assuming this person ONLY has a WIi U, why not wait? its not like they could get it for systems they dont own. Hell ME2 was a year late on PS3 and still managed to do more than a mil being released at FULL price. I heard the framerate it on par. But with a console base of 4 mil after a year, one has to wonder why even bother.
