Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Black Ops 2 Bomba On Wii U

Chandler on 08 December 2012

The Wii U version is also more expensive everywhere.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

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.

This is important. Short-run, people don't have money for more than a few games at launch. Long-run, launch games maybe tend to do better than others (see: Red Steel vs Red Steel 2), due to the fact that the console exists but few enough games to fill it out are there.

Edit: also true because i have NSMBU, Nintendoland, and Ninja Gaiden already, and will be getting Batman for christmas. For a guy who usually only gets one game a month (and has Link to the Past and KOTOR II backed up) that's a lot.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

5% attach rate is disgustingly low for the biggest console franchise. There's no way around it.
 
 
Is a 6.6% attach rate good then?

Aren't you comparing PS3 worldwide vs. WiiU USA ? Not a valid comparison.

This site is becoming just as bad as N4g. Not surprised though since you guys advertise their crap site. All doom threads are crap.

Becoming? This site is as bad as N4G.

None of these games are comparable to today's Call of Duty franchise though. 

But, even Resistance had an attach rate of 26%! Wow

Mario had an insane attach rate.  Is the comparison for Resistance about 1st party/3rd party or based on genre?

Plus, doesn't take into consideration that the PS3 didn't have so many great ports to compete with. CoD players already have PS360, doubt if there's overlap they'd double dip for Wii U.  The next game will do much better next year.

Just trying to put this all in perspective.

If an average teenager tells his friends he got COD on the WiiU then he'll be laughed out of the room.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

If you look closely, you will see a trend.

True but I think only ZombiU and Scribblenauts have chances to be such games. (and Just Dance 4 probably)

There are also lots of launch games that go unnoticed.

Blops2 surely won't do much better since it's going to have a sequel in 11 months already. The online community will move on and barely no one is going to buy it to play online.

AC3 ? Doesn't look like it, especially if there's another one next year.

Same goes for all sports games. NBA 2K13, Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13.

Late ports (also unlikely): Batman, Darksiders, Ninja Gaiden 3, Mass Effect 3, Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

I'm not sure what you're trying to point out here.
