The only games that have done (slightly!) better on Wii U than on PS4 and to an extent X1 are the more child/family friendly third party games.

Every more teen/adult oriented games has completely bombed on Wii U compared to the PS4/X1. That is the exact reason why most third parties don't bother with the Wii U, because they make games like these and feel that a Wii U version is not worth the effort.


Well not many teen/adult games has been released on the WiiU at the same time as the other two though.

People keep complaining about "COD and Assassins Creed are just the same thing over and over again, people should vote with their wallet", but when WiiU owners dont buy them, then its "WiiU owners dont care about third party games."

Even if the games didn't release on PS4/X1 then they still did extremely poor compared to the PS3/360, excluding ZombiU, which is a special case what with being bundled and all, the best selling teen/adult oriented third party game on Wii U sold 260k.

Compare that to the PS4, which seems to be the third party machine this gen, even the TR Remaster sold 440k on it and just look at Injustice: Gods Among Us, that game launched with people barely knowing it existed on PS4 and it still managed to sell more then the best selling teen/adult oriented third party game on Wii U.

People can try and turn this around as much as they want, but 90% of third party games just do not sell well on the Wii U, that is why so much support was dropped and why even the third parties that still make games for them, just do not care as much about the Wii U as they do about the other platforms.
