| KLXVER said: Activision is one of the biggest supporter of the WiiU. They might be dicks sometimes, but they have some smart businessmen. They might take a small hit in profit, but releasing COD on the WiiU is a pretty smart move. No competition from EA and making COD a household name for Nintendo fans. |
So where is CoD: Advanced Warfare? Destiny? Deadpool? The Legend of Korra? The only games that Activision have released on Nintendo platforms in the last year (since Spider-Man 2, released at the end of April 2014) have been the kid- and teen-girl-oriented titles, like The Voice and Skylanders, with the only exception being a title that was gimped on Wii U (Transformers lacked all multiplayer - other versions were rated around 5/10, the Wii U version was rated 3/10). All of their big "gamer" titles have skipped the Wii U.
Meanwhile, CoD: Ghosts didn't even get the free DLC that all the other systems got until something like 8 months later, and still hasn't gotten any other support (the only patch was released with the free DLC). I wouldn't call Activision "one of the biggest supporter" (sic) - I'd say that they at least didn't completely drop support. And that's not much to brag about, given their support so far.
I agree that, if Activision and Treyarch put real effort into the Wii U version (including proper ongoing support after release), it's a smart move - without a doubt, it can be pushed hard in terms of advertising, etc. If, on the other hand, it ends up being glitchy, underdeveloped, and unsupported, then Nintendo fans are just going to ignore the game.
