haahahaha. the despertation is almost funny. See i didnt even know any of this and i consider myself a fan. So i know most end users have no idea, or dont care. At this point the game will sell on the name alone. Much like all big franchises, hell even the Vita one managed a million and that was handled by a team who never even made an action game i believe. let alone an AC one

He was wrong -_-

Whether the end users care or not, the numbers stand.

he was wrong about what? the end users not caring? no he's right about that. Most people dont even know who made what. Numbers dont make this untrue, they dont prove anything.

I guess what he's trying to say is that Ubisoft Montreal is better at making games. Therefore, even if people don't know it's them behind the game, the quality they put into it will drive the sales.

Regarding his claim that Ubisoft Montreal should do an exclusive for WiiU, I totally disagree. I don't remember them making an exclusive for any PlayStation (which have gave them many more sales). They would be crazy to do one for WiiU.

nobody was really disputing that. Quality drives games but if thats the case why are there games flopping on WIi U?

No they shouldnt make an exclusive for WIi U, there time is better spent making games for systems that people will actually buy. LOL if thats what he really thinks. Ninty isnt owed an exclusive. 

It seemed to me that you were not getting what he was saying. Now I see where you're coming from. Answering your question: because the console is too expensive for casuals and too weak for hardcore gamers. The market is just not there but for Nintendo games. I completely agree with you. padib's hope may be that, if Ubisoft Montreal put their magic into a title tailored for WiiU, the sales would be great and then 3rd party support could grow viral.
