Not in the US.  It is over 12% according to NPD data for November.

Call of Duty games sell less on Nintendo consoles, is this still an issue to be discussed? Call of Duty is hardly the measure from which one can glean doom or salvation for the Wii U, let's hold our horses a little bit here.

for real ? I kinda doubt this is true. At least I haven't seen even one of these posts.


OT: While Black Ops 2 certainly underperformed on launch day, I think the fact that it's still the 4th biggest software title is more worrisome.
To me Assassin's Creed III looks like the biggest bomb so far (with Blops2). It likely sold about 10k and thus has only a ~1% attach ratio.

Black OPs 2 is doing very well. 4th best selling game on the baby system. I think everyone is pleased.

Wait until a CoD is released that is both on par with the others and simultaniously released, as well as on a userbase that allows it the same sales with a similar attach rate before making that statement.

That Assassin's Creed III performance would worry me just as much or more. It's coming from the company that has offered the most third party support of the Wii U thus far. Of course, ZombiU did well, so who knows.

As far as attach rate, it should always be higher with a lower installed base, especially at launch.

I would wait until after Christmas before worrying about this, however. There is no telling how many games people are holding off on purchasing because they expect them as gifts. The system needs to mature a bit. The people who bought two or three games at launch need time to finish those and go back for more. Having more titles at launch means a lower attach rate on an individual basis.

Still, Nintendo is on tricky ground here. The industry is watching. If people want multi-plats then they're going to need to buy multi-plats. Not necessarily right now, but the Wii U is going to need to perform well on concurrent releases.

I think is simple, most people at launch only have the money to spent in 2 (max 3) games. Without including the Nintendo Land bundle people will go with these choices: SMBU, ZombiU and one other third game. It doesn't help that most launch games are ports but I think there are to many tittles for launch (second in history I believe), regardless of the ports. 

I'm taking a wild guess here, but maybe there's a little saturation in the quantity of launch games, thus the reason why the games have sold so little. I could be dead wrong in this though, it just a guess.

I think 6 million sales vs 25k is a little bit of a difference though. I mean, BO2 on PS3 regularly has over 500,000 people playing multiplayer at one time.
