I doubt AC:Rogue did more on pc as COD/Ac4 on wii u. It was pretty same mistake as watchdogs on wii u, released half year later, no marketing. At least AC has a fanbase (watchdogs didnt) and the game wasnt hated as much as watchdogs.

 

Watchdogs poor sales are definitly not wii u´s fault. If you release something way later without marketing if will suck everywhere. 

that comparison makes no sense. Why not compare the last AC game to release on Wii U and PC at the same time? Black Flag flopped on Wii U so i dont know where you are getting AC has a fanbase on Wii U it doesnt. .26mil is abysmal for a main AC title, hell the Vita one did better and that was a side story. Black Flag did .58mil on PC and thats JUST the hard copies thats not counting digital which we already know most of the sales for PC games come from there. I think 75% so this game pass the mil mark on PC alone. So yes AC does better on PC which is why it gets support. Not to mention its a freaking PC which most devs (especially western ones) use to develop games before they even work on the console version anyway. 

Dont know what Watchdogs has to do with anything that game would have flopped regardless, i could give a list of games that were late ports that sold well on non Ninty systems but it would be ignored.

Here's the best estimate of how ACIV:BF did on Steam: http://steamspy.com/app/242050 It's around 700K. Keep in mind that this is a Ubisoft game, and this doesn't count sales through Ubisoft's Uplay AFAIK. Becasue VGC doesn't have a functional multiquote, I'll add Ghosts becasuse it was also brought up. COD:Ghosts broke 1.2 million on PC: http://steamspy.com/app/209160 And here's the link about the source of these numbers were arrived at: http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/3/8340537/steam-spy-scrapes-steam-user-accounts-to-estimate-sales-data
