it's not speculation.

what? I didn't say a higher base always guarantee more sales than on other platforms.

what about rogue? looks like it will sell very little. if it does, will you call it a failure and say the audience idn't there?

mario kart 8 will outsell most past iterations.

I just see claims of bribery and no facts.

You use userbase as an excuse for abysmal sales. Hence, you feel the sales of multiplat core games have been good because the Wii U userbase is small. It doesn't work that way. Publishers are more concerned of how many units the console can move, not the attach rate.

AC:Rogue will likely be the poorest selling AC game on those consoles, but the odds of them selling over million on both PS3 and 360 is high. But based on trends, AC:Rogue would be lucky to hit 300K on Wii U.

Now that PS360 software sales are dwindling they have begun to lose support. No point in supporting Wii U when it can't even achieve the dwindling PS360 software sales.

Well... its gonna take a lot of bundles for Mario Kart 8 to achieve that.

you keep saying "abysmal" to exaggerate numbers. and I'm saying installed base is growing, and if games covered it's costs when the base was at it's lowest, they can profit a lot from now on.

you mean 1 million when combining ps360 sales, right? cause I don't see rogue selling even close to 1 million on either system.

"No point in supporting Wii U when it can't even achieve the dwindling PS360 software sales." yeah, because dwindling sales on 70+ million bases is a fair comparisson against one that had less than 4m when the last big multi released.

you don't know about Mario Kart sales, do you? surpassing double dash and super circuit should be easy. and it will probably surpass super mario kart, mk 64 and mk 7.
