Again I dispute that. Since this is not some objective measurement like graphical fidelity and performance. What if somebody values off-screen play without buying a tablet or PSV? Then they will find the Wii U version to be superior for their needs. I'm not sure if I said AC4 is best on Wii U, if I did not then your argument is a strawman. If I did however, then that was a mistake on my part. What do you mean by negated? This is an odd concept to me. Different people have different preferences. Maybe somebody isn't buying a multiplatform game day one and don't make their decision until the Wii U version is released? (this is very much likely.) Maybe somebody will wait if the features they like (such as off-screen play) are available? Maybe they didn't have consoles that can play the other versions of the game until recently, or they don't at all? Anyway, we can use the same arguments for PSO (GC) and Baluder's Gate (GC) - to name two games on the previous GC list. As for my shooter argument, the basic premise is that I wouldn't play the genre at all if it weren't for PC and Wii U controls. I can not stand dual analog for first or third person shooters. Having played shooters on PC first, I am spoiled by more precise controls. If I didn't have a PC, the only shooters I would play would be the ones released for the Wii U and which support wii motion controls (I don't have any current gen consoles by the way, except a 3DS.) A lot of other gamers feel this way. Controls for me at least, can make or break a game. I don't care if online is better if I don't like the way the game controls and how the companies have to accomodate for that (auto-targetting, for example.) ]

yes it is all subjective...but lets be real. If the off tv play was such a big deal. the Multiplat games for WIi U woudl be doing much better and hell the system ITSELF would be doing much better. Considering both of these are struggles. Im going to conclude that the actual amount of people who really value this is so small is almost neglible.

No this is not likely at all. what is more likely is the person is simply buying it one of the other systems he/she migh have. I seriously doubt people are waiting for soem WIi U version when a good chunk of games dont even make it to the system and its not like they arent multiplat day to date of other versions anyway. If one is a fan of the game they want to buy they wouldnt wait.
They dont have another console? yeah i doubt that. Im positive they do which is again why we see such a large difference in sales multiplat games. Hell evne PS4 and One multiplat versions smoke the sales of the WIi U ones, unless its called Just Dance or Rayman htat was released months later
