Forums - Sales - So much for late ports being a good reason for low sales

True, I think the main reason the WiiU did not took off is because almost everybody was expecting it to outperform the Xbox360 and Ps3 in some way. The PS4 versions of the launch games look a lot better than his PS3 counterparts, which gives the consumer a lot of confidence in the purchase.
Also, Dead Rising 3 is a smart move to MS, it looks so much coller than its predecessors, this is the right way to comunicate "next gen", well done.

However, the WiiU real appeal is the HD Nintendo games and the ocasional cool gamepad feature, when the install base grows thanks to the Nintendo games, we will see third party support rising. I hope Ubisoft get some love for sticking with the console, AC4 is on the WiiU and it is not selling that well so far



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Late ports never was an "excuse" or reason for why these games simply didnt sell on Wii U. On the other hand, here, a picture of all the people surprised by this -

Wonder why OP did not compare Just Dance or Skylanders PS4 / Wii U.

Cool story.

I know.  Don't you hate when facts get in the way?

Nah. I have always been well aware that third party games do not sell well on Nintendo systems.

 

Although people seem to be stressing this point too much, don't you think? And seem to be enjoying it, instead of you know... enjoying the PS4?

Stressing that point somehow means they're not enjoy the PS4? How did you conclude that?

That you for (finally!) proving you are in it for the trolling.

So, these don't exist? There are more flops then not.

Plus we ignore demographics.

to be fair, alot of those late ports for WIi U didnt add anything significant. At least with the PS4/xone ports they look better and the general consensus among people is that they WILL be better, not alot say that for WIi U



There are cases where there really are reasons why they sell bad on Nintendo, but a lot of the times the reasons are overly exaggerated. The PS3 has had it's fair share of late/inferior ports and rarely do they do as bad as they do on Nintendo platforms. 3rd party games except for a few genres or a few exceptions do worse on Nintendo just like generally JRPS do worse on 360 than PS3. That audience just doesn't exist on Nintendo.
