CoD games did not sell very well on the Wii and sold terrible on the Wii U (even considered it's low installed base). So I don't think Activision needs Watch Dogs numbers to make a decision like that.

And yet they keep making them, once a year, since 2008. They would've stopped years ago if it wasn't profitable for them.

True that they probably don't need to sell many copies to make a profit, because it's just a port. But maybe it's also got something to do with market share, or branding. Being/staying the largest and best known FPS around. Anyways, I hope that they release it on the Wii U. Not that I'm going to buy it, but the console can use all the third party support it gets. But to stay on topic, I certainly do not believe Activision is using Watch Dogs numbers in their decision wether or not to release Advance Warfare on the Wii U.

- edit BTW, the CoD's released in 2008-2011 on the Wii were, with the exeption of MW3, all million+ sellers, so those were much more likely to be profitable than the 150-230k sellers on the Wii U.

I agree that Activision likely couldn't care less what Watch Dogs sells.

The thing with porting COD to Wii U though is that its likely much cheaper than porting it to Wii, where you had to dramatically re-engineer the game to get it running on the considerably weaker hardware.
