On platforms greatly preferred by their target audience; an audience that would never consider buying Wii U versions of those games.

No real GTA game has been on a Nintendo system, we have no way of knowing if they would buy it.


You don't actually believe this yourself, do you?

 

The signs are everywhere.

Yes, the signs are everywhere.

Like CoD3 selling far worse on Wii than on the other systems... oh, right, it sold better than the PS3 and not much less than the 360 version.

So maybe it's more like that violence-fest, No More Heroes, which performed poorly on Wii and then great on PS3 and 360... oh, sorry, it was the other way around.

Perhaps you mean something like Goldeneye, which was far superior on PS3 and 360, which is reflected in sales... oh, what's that? Sold more than the PS3 and 360 versions combined?

The fact is, quality titles sell well on Nintendo systems when they're advertised. If GTA were put on Wii U, and made with the quality that other GTA games typically have, and it were actually advertised, it would sell well. When Nintendo systems get inferior ports of titles, as pretty much every title involving shooting, open world, etc, have been so far, they sell poorly. Of course, developer laziness on Nintendo systems results in this inferiority, which causes the lower sales, which is then used as justification for putting less effort into the next one.


you still saying these half truths?

you cherry picked ONE COD game out of like 5. funny how they kept selling worse and worse on Wii. But just kept selling better and better on the HD twins.

NMH flopped on all systems lets not pretend it didnt. ANd it was two years late on PS3. was it even released on 360? are you just making stuff up now?

GE was a late port. nice try

Fact is you dont know this for sure. Pratically every 3rd party game on WIi U flopped. YOu can nitpick all you want, but the truth is that the audience isnt there for the system like they are on teh others. Otherwise the last COD and AC wouldnt have sold like crap on WIi U while they sold much better on PS4/x1 despite being launch titles for them.
