| Soundwave said: Who says the Wii U version must be profitable? Ubi Soft was pretty blunt about Zombi U not doing it for them. Assassin's Creed had like 1% (lol) of its sales on the Wii U platform. |
zombiu was an exclusive game... it had to make 100% of money from wiiu and wiiu sold, as a console, very poorly. All they ever said was it sold well considering userbase. Had wiiu launched with PS4 style numbers, it would have been fine. However, who knows if it was profitable as it was also a bundled title.. so maybe Nintendo provided a kickback to help it out.
% is pointless. You can only consider the actual cost to port and what that port brought in. AC and WD are both ports. The primary game is created on another platform and the overall profit is gained from those MSony platforms. However, they would consider the costs per WiiU distinctly and even put that against potential benefit if same team was working something else plus their overall relationship with Nintendo given games like Just Dance do FAR better on Nintendo consoles.
