so call of duty will get more undeserved sales.

Since when are sales undeserved if a product does what people want?  Apparently people have an interest in Call of Duty, which is why it sells.  I am about as non-mainstream as you can get with gaming, and I still end up getting Call of Duty titles, because it does things that round out the library of games.  WIll see how much Black Ops 2 does this year, to see if I jump on it.  If it goes for replayability and adds elements of real-time strategy to it, then I am up for it. 

What I meant is that while the Call of duty sells a lot, there are excellent games that are considered masterpiece that struggle to sell a fraction of what Call of Duty sells.  Don't get me wrong, I love to play Call of Duty, I've been playing the series since Call of Duty 2, but there're games that deserves more sales than COD.

If Call of Duty went away, there is NO guarantee those games would get any more sales.  People don't buy anything that is a masterpiece, because it is a masterpiece.  They buy it because it interests them.  A game has to intrinsically appeal to someone for them to get on it.  Call of Duty is almost a hobby unto itself.

No point in trying to argue or make sense. COD bashing is what is mainstream now. I agree with you, BO2 is looking great with all the overhauls they have done to change SP, MP and Zombies. I'm looking forward most to the latter two.

I have got to wonder if COD will be using the Wii U controller in new and unique ways. It could be pretty cool if you could change your loadout on the fly in game with the controller. Maybe have the mini map on the controller blown out, so its a lot nicer to spot people. Either way, I don't think COD is THE reason to buy Wii U for, but it should be something that should encourage people to buy it IF they are considering to buy it anyway.

I keep thinking, every year, I will end up not getting Call of Duty.  They then do something with it that makes it appealing to get.  Go figure.  Will see if Black Ops 2 does this year.

Quite curious why this wasn't shown at Nintendo's conference, but this is good news for WiiU.

Theres a few reasons.

Apparently Gearbox were going to show Aliens Colonal Marines, but they weren't happy with the quality of the video presentation prepared for the conference.

Secondly, jealousy over this decision by Nintendo choosing Aliens maybe.

Thirdly, perhaps the Wii U version isn't ready to be shown yet.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

So the WiiU is getting the BEST version of CoD Black ops 2?

That's good news, now the two biggest third party holiday juggernauts are on Wii U.

BTW...
COD + 2D Mario

People are free to not like it, but never in history such sales power was available at launch.

Very true. This is like the video game equivilant of Lebron James and Dwayne Wade teaming up.

I didn't know about what Gearbox was doing, but that is a bit surprising, why not try to have both? :S

Wii HD's (u) version will most likely be the lowest selling version.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I go with the "ORLY? owl pic" or the "Nic Cage You Don't Say" one... :(
