There were two COD games released for the WiiU. Didnt help...

Because the better looking versions were on PS4/XB1, and the online for Wii U is kind of a joke.

 

Honestly, I think if Nintendo dropped the kid gloves and gave people a real party/chat system, it might solve a lot of problems. Nintendo has failed for 2 generations to get online right. Culture's mass embracing of online could partially explain the Wii's dip in popularity near the end of its life, and could also partially explain the Wii U's failure.

 

The thing is, though, it doesn't need to be as strong as PS4Pro or XB1Scorpio. Just close to the base models' power. Enough that developers can say "Okay, we'll develop for this, then port up." Combine that with a real online service, and Nintendo could finally compete on PS4 and XB1's level... Except they'd have Mario and Pokemon, which would give them a massive advantage.

I dont think Black Ops 2 were released on the PS4/XB1. The WiiU version had voice chat and the online was free.

I think the image they have been given as "being for kids" is the thing that hurts them the most. Nintendo makes games for everyone and that will never change. I dont think COD, AC, BF, GTA etc will ever be the reason for people to get a Nintendo console.
