Oh, now I see where that dumbass thread I just posted in came from.

But really, I guess it's a shame that sales were bad for Nintendo, but I personally do not care about CoD and I hope Activision goes bankrupt, so it's not like I feel for them. I actually hope for every flop we can get from them :)

Poor source, but it does fall in line with the "publisher with unrealistic expectations" rumour we'd been hearing for a while now.

I see a lot of people trying to play down comparisons with the Vita version. Understandable, and I do get that it's an new original title v. a port. But it's also a well-made port v. a 3-month job rushed catastrophe, so it's not as clear cut as people are making out. I think there is definitely an advantage for being an original title. But more than anything, the difference was that Sony advertised the shit out of their version of CoD; they bundled it in one region; and they just made sure that the game was out there. Evidently, it worked to some degree, I suspect that's what Activision may have been wanting for Blops Wii-U as well.

Funnily enough, according to our sales figures, Blops 2 is one of the games that actually came out best from the Wii-U's launch. Which makes me wonder what the other third parties must be thinking.

Nevertheless, it comes down to the same opinion I had last time this was brought up. Once there is a concurrent release with other versions of the game, see how that does. If it's the same result, then there are grounds to complain. If not... then there's your problem, Activision.

I don't wanna buy Activision's expensive piece of crap. Please, tell to those guys they can stay away from my Wii U.

Not really there are more levels with framerate problems. It dips frequently to something in the 30s.

Technically it's definitely an inferior version.

I bought Black Ops 2 for Wii U on launch date and believe me, NOBODY on Wii U is "all talk" because nobody has a headset.

But yeah, it's sad. Nintendo owners beg for the big games and when developers give it to us, we (well, not me) don't buy. I was actually pretty shocked to see how Resident Evil Revelations sold on 3DS. Great game with full features on a console with a great install base. Superb graphics and fantastic reviews and....well, you get the idea.

Doesn't really matter as it was already known weeks ago that a company was very angry about the sales of a "big budget" WiiU game.

Logically it could've only been Activision with Black Ops 2.

and where did you get your data from ? Wikipedia ?

We already have CoD at 161m and that without any digital sales and very limited PC data. The franchise is easily at 170m right now.

Even on a successful Nintendo console the most successful games are Japanese made, western or not.

A framerate in the thirties is perfectly playable, it doesn't become a problem until it frequently drops into the low twenties and below.

And I'll take pointer and gamepad control over such differences, so I'd still call the U version superior.

@Bold. Is that an argument? Because it doesn't have anything to do with what I said.

I think if CoD released on Wii U at the same time as the other systems, it would sell similar in terms of attach rate.
