ugh. some people still believe this. MS has NO reason to do that it would be a waste of money since the NInty version poses NO threat...at all. Even when the WIi was on top that COD still sold like crap next to the others |
OK then, let's play a little game. I can think of just two plausible reasons why this would keep happening.
Option one: either MS or Sony are paying Activision to not announce the Nintendo version or advertise it in any way.
Option two: Activision are choosing not to announce the Nintendo version in order to depress sales on the system - basically, sabotaging it.
Can you provide any other plausible explanation for them to not even say in their press releases "game will also be available on the Wii U"? It costs them nothing to simply list Wii U amongst the platforms it will be available on and to have the Wii U logo at the end of the various trailers alongside the other logos.
It's not the fact that Nintendo versions sell worse - I'm not suggesting they make any additional effort along the way, so it's neither time, effort, not cost explaining it. Nintendo gains nothing from it, so it's not coming from Nintendo. It's not an appeasement of Sony/MS without money being involved, because neither company would in any way punish Activision by refusing to support a game that sells so strongly on their system - they benefit too much from CoD being on their system for them to in any way impede Activision. And you can't say that it's in any way about avoiding having to announce a cancellation if they decide to cancel it, because Activision hasn't had any problem announcing cancellation of other Wii/Wii U games.
So, what alternative explanations are there?
