Surprised how many people take umbrage with Wii U missing out on third-party ports. How many of you would buy the new Call of Duty on Wii U, anyway? Maybe 100,000? That number is probably over-tracked, not to mention Activision doesn't do digital versions of console games. |
It's not confirmed that it is missing out.

True, but that's not necessarily my point. My point was that if all the people who scream about more and more third-party titles skipping Wii U actually bought the third party games that do make it, there would be more. Supply and demand. It seems a shame that some developers invest millions into Wii U ports, and can't even break 100,000 in sales on some titles, while PS and Xbox versions reap 95% of sales for basically the exact same game. Ghosts on Wii U sold significantly less than Black Ops II on Wii U, despite Ghosts selling to a much larger install base of consoles.
I believe that third party games will only sell on Wii U if there's something about the Wii U version that appeals to people more than buying another version. There needs to be something that differentiates. I don't know if Off-TV Play is compelling enough of a feature to be that differentiating factor. I just think that Watch Dogs on Wii U is going to prove most people right and it won't sell well on Wii U, and it will give Ubisoft the perfect excuse to not do Wii U titles anymore beyond Rayman and Just Dance.

But why? why should 3rd parties spend more time and more money on a version that probably still wont come close to selling as much as the others? They wont, it would make no sense.
