Is Activision waiting to see how Watch Dogs does on Wii U before they officially greenlight another COD for the system?

Almost everyone else in this thread is wrong.

Yes -- Activision and other 3rd parties consider Watch Dogs as a barometer of sorts for interest in cross-platform 3rd party games on Wii U regardless of ship date.

However, what piques Activision's interest more is the prospect of Nintendo getting online gaming right starting with MK8.

CoD:AW Wii U is practically a certainty as they have far better reason to port it than Ghosts. And they can get away with not fixing bugs or offering DLC with this version.

When it comes to a franchise like CoD, its success rests upon continually drawing in new players. The WiiU version accomplishes that in a particular way the other versions might not.
