Watchdogs would not have sold well on WiiU, the userbase is not there and we have actual factual evidence to back that up looking at third party sales on the system.

third party sales on wii u range from really good to really bad, like in any other system. by pre orders alone, WD was already better than AC4 first week performance, and that's when it was still many months away from release. Watch dogs would have a good chance of selling well on wii u, it may still sell decently but nowhere near the numbers it would get if given a fair chance.

For reference, can you give an example of 'really good' third party sales on Wii U? Also, can you show us the WD vs AC4 preorder figures?

According to VGChartz, AC4 has only done 160k so far, and amounts to just over 1% of the total sales. If you're saying that WD would have done significantly more than that, and you have pre-order figures to prove it, let's see them.
