People have more than 1 console and buy the better version. Nintendo fans preffer exclusives, etc... because all your points are negated by games on PS3 that suffered the same problems but sold good.

How do you justify CoD on Wii selling so much less than other platforms if not by prejudice of the fanbase against 3rd parties, dev or things like that? Best CoD on Wii sold 2.4M (almost like PSP version, that is certainly a lot more gimped) and on WiiU it sold between 250-300k against their counterparts best sold on X360 14.5M and PS4 6.5M how much was it lacking to sell 1/7 and 1/20 of the other platform?

to be fair, COD on Wii..sucked at least compared to the other versions, sure you can get away with that initially but eventually people will wise up and start to play the versions their friends are playing and the one that doesnt suck. I got nothing for PSP that was a different game. I think eventually people equated COD on Wii  with gimp, not that that was on 3rd parties only so much you can do with that tech.


Point taken. But did it suck enough for a 80% less sale on twice as big userbase? Did everyone knew it sucked before hand since most copies sell early on?
