Sorry guys isn't the X1 performing worst than WiiU?
i mean isn't the market performing very badly overall?

Even though there are less Xbox One consoles on the market compared to Wii U consoles, Ubisoft's games still sell much better on Xbox One. For example, AC4 sold 0.79M on XOne versus 0.18 on WiiU.

I agree with your graph ..but put a graph of child of light,raymans legend and just dance 2014 and it will tell a different story than this graph as with the right type of games and right marketing wii u can sell on third parties ...just saying 

You're right. There are certain 3rd party games that have sales that are closer to other consoles, like Just Dance and Rayman Legends. What does that tell us though? Wii U owners are less interested in games like Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty, and more interested in games like Rayman Legends and Just Dance. Ubisoft will probably continue releasing games like Just Dance on the Wii U, but they will probably pass on creating the next Assassin's Creed for Wii U.

I don't think people are less interested in Ubisoft 3rd party ..I just think they don't advertise or put much emphasis in the wii u version just look at assasins creed or call of duty ..they have you in a mystery until the last month if it's even coming to the wii u or in commercials they would show every version box art except the wii u and it's being released on the wii u ...if they show more emphasis in the wii u maybe people will buy it more ...like show what it could do with the second screen etc

not true at all. AC ads shows ALL versions. Ive seenit on billboards. Unless they have exclusve ads (i think with Sony). Same for COD wish people actually did research, MS has had exclusive ads for YEARS. Funny enough doesnt stop PS version from doing good. So clearly ads arent the problem and lets be real. Its 2014 how easy would it be to find out what is released for what system? A click away. So its not the ads, thats a sad excuse. 

It comes down to two reasons. People have other consoles besides Wii U( and judging from sales this is likely) so they choose to play on those especially since COD is so MP heavy. OR the Wii U demograph is not that interested. Pick one.

Trust me I do research and do you remember last year and the year before last call of duty was not announced for the wii u until very late so it would affect sales because if a person did not know it existed ..how would they  know to buy it on that system and also when commercials are shown it is usually shown for xbox or playstation ..you have to remember the average consumer is going on what they see on tv ..not like a gamer that knows when a game comes out .....so when they go to gamestop or bestbuy they know what system it's on because it's what they saw or their child saw on tv ...advertisement plays a huge role in what people are aware of and not aware of .....example ..watchdogs  if watchdogs was released for wii u at the same time as the other versions and advertised what the wii u gamepad brought to the gameplay do you not think it would have a better chance at higher sales because it was advertised the advantages that the wii u could provide
