we both know that's not true, so why do you insist?
NO, most punlishers didn't give a chance last year.
Games like AC4, COD Ghosts, and Arkham Origins all released at the same time as other competitors. How is this not giving WiiU a chance?
EVEN half assed versions without marketing made a profit.
How do you know they made a profit? The fact that publishers are avoiding the WiiU more and more tells me they're not making much money off the console. And why are you complaining about marketing. If Nintendo wants 3rd party publishers to market their games for WiiU then they need to make a deal for it. Like Sony did with Assassins Creed 4, or Microsoft with Call of Duty. Once again you're blaming everybody BUT Nintendo.
you also ignore the titles that sell on par or better than the other versions.
Which ones? Rayman Legends did better than the 360 version but still did worse than the PS3 one, which is astounding considering it was originally a WiiU exclusive. A majority of 3rd party games sell better on other platforms, I'm not sure why you can't accept this, it's common sense. Look at the WiiU sales for pretty much any major 3rd party release in 2013 and compare it to the other versions. Even kid friendly games like Skylanders Swap Force did far better on the PS3/360.
You're basically cherrypicking and distorting things.
Well I can't say you're cherrypicking considering you haven't actually shown me a single piece of evidence supporting your claims.

a few companies =/= most publishers.
we know they're profiting considreing the number of units sold and what costs to port the games.
what a horrible try to downplay rayman. astounding to sell VERY SLIGHTLY less than the ps3 version and it's 13x+ bigger base? the game released as a multiplat. if it was "originally an exclusive" by releasing in february, it would have sold even more though.
"Look at the WiiU sales for pretty much any major 3rd party release in 2013 and compare it to the other versions." AGAIN, don't try to change the subject. it is absolutely irrelevant what a game sells on other consoles since we are talking about profits from wii u versions.
"Even kid friendly games like Skylanders Swap Force did far better on the PS3/360. " they better sell best on those consoles, 80m+ installed base, remember? and it's only natural that other kid friendly games, like battlefield and cor ghosts, will also sell much more on ps360.
In the end it's the same talk all over the place. third party multis are profiting on wii u even with all the half assing in content and/or marketing.
