A developer never loses money, and publishers rarely do because the have smart people working for them to make every project profitable by being creative at promotions, marketing etc...

thing is they are losing money htey couldve earned by working on other more profitable projects....and thats it.

It seems WiiU games dont bring enough profit to them to go on. and if it happens that they dont like Nintendo either for whtever reason (could happen) then just......WiiU

So you are saying the marketing department at Activision isn't very smart. Cause COD games and other games for that matter don't even mention a Wii U version.

Even all th epromotional posters to this day at some stores only mention 4 platforms. Is it that much more expensive to throw in a little WiiU logo on them?

 

Also peopel need to stop with the "could have earned" it means nothing unless it happens. We really don't knwo if they would have earned more money or not. 

the marketing department at Activision isn't very smart.

could have earned means...one game regular sales, second game same or worst....then cancell further games...then invest the resources in something new with potential to succeed

 

thats the mentality, its like dating girls, you arent gonna stay much with a girl you dont have much feeling or istn too hot because that cripples your chances with more pretty women
