If you look closely, you will see a trend.

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


Well, you said next game will do much better like if it was a fact. I pointed out that it was not the case with wii, which most likely had a much bigger install base than Wii U will have in time of next cod.

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.

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.

The sports games, probably. Batman's getting some solid advertising. NG3 has solid word-of-mouth

What you're likely to see is some of those games in the last line sell steadily at least until the next wave of Wii U software comes, Q2 next year, so they'll carve a segment out for themselves.

You really need to stop arguing with him. It's going to go nowhere and just litter the thread.

What a silly argument dude.  Just stop.

EDIT:  @Mr Khan - I see how pointless it is with arguments like this.

Facts are facts, if you don't like them feel free to ignore them. If that is what makes you feel better.

This proves to me that Wii U owners have better taste than most gamers.

I honestly think the WiiU attach rate is more impressive. WiiU Black Ops is competing with 2 must have titles in NintendoLand and NSMBU on the same day. Few people are buying more than 2 or 3 titles in one go.  This was not the case on PS3.  But regardless, I simply think that a 1% change from one system to the next does not make sales go from great to dismal. That's just silly.

lol @ the people who predicted the Will U version will out sale the ps3/xbox version instantly

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.

Yeah that is particularly interesting.  It makes you wonder what the TOTAL attach rate for the console is....

my guess is, Bundled NintendoLand more or less crushed the attach rate.

 

A lot of people probably just went Nintendo Land + SMB and were done.
