Some also came out at the same time as other platforms and still bombed.

Heres what happened, people who enjoy 3rd party games became savvy after the original Wii. Consumers learned the best place for 3rd party gaming is Playstation and Xbox.

But thats okay, the Wii U is still a good place for games the competitors dont offer. If it wasnt for the tablet control I feel the Wii U could have been a success.


Well lets see how Zombi does on the PS4 and XB1, then...

How Zombi does is not a reflection of potential 3rd party sales on those platforms.

ZombiU did pretty good for Wii U because it was a launch title with a big push. But did other core games do those numbers on Wii U? Not really.

Meanwhile core games have sold millions on PS4 and X1 quite regularly. Wii U has multi million sellers but those are very different than what appeals to the Playstation and Xbox audience.

Hence, the people that buy Wii U are generally looking for something different. Also, Wii U ports would be vastly inferior than 8th gen counterparts. Thats another reason they wouldnt sell well.
