Forums - Gaming - Activision disappointed with Wii U launch

Conegamer on 08 February 2013

We'll see how it picks up. I could see Skylanders being pretty good on Wii U with that extra power and the NFC reader built in.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Hm, I can't recall. Were all these publishers so quick to condemn 360 and PS3 launch performance?

No, of course not. They'd already invested millions in development on those platforms.

that's a good point, the skylander franchise probably dies if the wiiU doesn't succeed. i don't imagine a ps4/xbox8 port would have half as much success as what was seen on wii.

I don´t know about the launch period,but if I´m not mistaken, Kotick had threatened to drop PS3 support if Sony didn´t cut the price of the system.

Well PS3 had a better launch than Wii U... the problem was after launch.

Your statement seems backwards:

Wii U has had the better launch by a large margin, but is apparently dropping harder.
