Wii U got late ports of games. Of course they sold horribly. Most people already had the game on the 360 or PS3.

Both COD games were recieved on time if I'm not mistaken.

Black Ops 2 was a week late in the US and two weeks late in Europe since that is when the Wii U came out.  Ghosts was on time. 

Also while the PS3/360 had sold more than 50% of their lifetime totals (in regards to "most people") by the time the Wii U version of BO2 was available worldwide, there were still many millions of copies sold after the Wii U version came out.  I mean the week after the Wii U launch in the US alone, just the 360 version sold more than double the worldwide sales of BO2 Wii U.  Now I'm not saying the Wii U version should have been anywhere close to the 360 version in sales, but it is silly for Paatar to act like everyone already having purchased BO2 was the reason for the poor sales on the Wii U.

I would say Ghosts sales both on the Wii U and the PS4/XBO kind of showed how ridiculous this "late port" argument is.  Being a simultaneous release did little for the Wii U version, while the late ports on the PS4 and Xbox One completely smashed the sales of the Wii U version.

This.
