That was Nintendo Power. ;)

I didn't not compose my self and a decent manner last night.  The it is either my way crap wasn't really the truth.  I am open to changing my view points.  Sure I perhaps overstated the stagnation of FPS throughout the past 15-20 years.  I have a perfect explanation for my behavior last night.  I was drunk posting and "discussing" a topic about a genre that I don't really like anymore.  Add alcohol and something I don't like and I will start talking shit even and downplay it more than I actually think of the topic.  

FPS aren't as stagnant as you pointed out with games such as Portal and a few others recent IPs that have added mix to the genre.  I'm just tired of FPS.  I'm tired of the people talking shit that have mics on FPS.  Tired of being accused of cheating when I didn't cheat.  Tired of the ups and downs while playing the game online (turns me into a bipolar person because I expect to win every game and if losing it pisses me off).  Tired of mainly one franchise: CoD.  I'm surprised people still by it more and more each year with little variation they put into their games due to yearly releases.  Eventually Activision will turn it into a Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk where they pump out too many titles and eventually people move on.  That is about the only thing I hope for.  I see Activision as a cancer on gaming (just like I see EA).  Anyways, I am not against debate or discussing things civil.  It was my fault of posting while drunk on a topic that I don't like that much anymore.

Ahh, I understand. Time or two I've done much the same thing. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. :P

You are definitely right in saying games like COD have stagnated, especially over the past 5 years or so. Publishers don't seem to want COD getting too comfortable and cornering the market, hence the COD-clones. I have a feeling Activision is aware this isn't self-sustaining, but they're just riding it out. With online, I think it will survive longer than Guitar Hero, but it can't last forever. I, personally, don't care too much for it for the same reasons as you. Online, especially that sort of online, just isn't really my thing, and that's the only appeal to those games.

Still, as you said, there have been some new IPs to mix things up, so I can't write off the whole genre. It's kind of why I figure FPS doesn't really work. Portal and COD are almost nothing alike, but often they still get lumped under the same genre. For me, COD is a Modern Military Shooter, and Portal is a Puzzle Shooter. Modern Military Shooters are terribly stagnant. The Shooter genre as a whole, a bit less so.

they would be less inclined to buy it on Wii U anyway whether it came out the same as the other versions or not, because people arent going to spend 300+ on a system to play a game they could play on something they already own. ESPECIALLY if all there friends are playing on P360/PC already. Hell just look at the last few COD games on Wii. THe COD audience is NOT on Ninty systems at least not right now.

No COD was not going to push hardware, it doesnt even push hardware for the cheaper systems. It wont do it for a more expensive one, not when there are CHEAPER alternatives. Most COD players dont give a damn if its feature rich or not, they are playing the version that there friends are playing, that wont be the WII U version. Attach rate, maybe. I dont think most care especially Activision care about attach rate. They want to see their game sell and they are not seeing that on the system.

Will no doubt be a watered down version released after all other versions...
followed by a huge amount of comments from activision about how no third party studios sell any games on Nintendo systems.

Which lives on in spirit through Nintendo Force! set up and run by dedicated fans of Nintendo power.

Why do people keep saying the Wii U version came out a month late?  The Wii U came out in NA six days after Black Ops 2 launched.  Even if you discard that week and only start counting on the next week when it released in Europe, there have been 9.3 million sales across the PS3 and 360 since the Wii U launched.  Add another ~2.5 million if we're counting from the NA launch.

I don't know where people are getting this idea that everybody who wanted BO2 bought it before the Wii U came out.  Hell, in the last two weeks the PS3/360 versions have sold 184k.  The Wii U version has done 186k since launch.  Now I'm not saying the Wii U version was expected to sell anywhere close to the PS3/360 versions, but the idea that the market was tapped out before the Wii U launched is ridiculous.

I can only afford one next gen system ,which i have chosen Wii U. It would be great to get COD ghosts as i am really enjoying BLOPS 2. The COD audience isnt really in force on Nintendo systems, but there are enough people willing to buy it to contribute a small profit for Activision.

You have no idea what you're talking about. CoD is the series that saved the HD twins.
