Hey man, it seems apparent that some people didn't read enough of what you wrote in your argument for porting games to Wii U. Sorry for those that just read your title and were too lazy to read more.

I get what you are saying. However, I have often wondered why many companies bother making low selling PC ports. My thoughts on why they make PC ports that would sell about the same as a Wii U port is that perhaps the Wii U is harder to port to, and also they would have to invest into making Wii U gamepad functionality.

it was read and many people took the argument apart, which would be known if other posts were read.

A PC port wouldnt make as much as Wii U because it would do MORE way more. Pretty sure COD Ghosts on PC did much more than the Wii U version

Agreed. It's also easier and cheaper to port to stronger hardware than to weaker hardware (based on the lead platform of the game). You don't have to put that much work in optimization which saves man hours and money. You also don't have to downgrade the visuals (textures, resolution, FX, drawing distance...) of your game so it runs acceptable on the weaker platform.
