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.


Don't even bother. Let them have their "fun".

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

There is no need to compare CoD sales on a Nintendo system to others. CoD has a max of selling 1-2m on a Nintendo platform.  To put it simple...  Most Nintendo gamers don't give a shit about CoD or they buy it on another platform.

Shouldn't of even brought up Mass Effect 3 on Wii U.

It's not like I put any importance on ME3. But there's always an excuse behind the one that can easily be disproven.

while some of the excuses for ME3 are out there(PS360 got the trilogy for the same price, which shouldnt matter cause if one is buying it on WIi U they dont have those systems) BUT to be fair having JUST ME3 on one platform is silly and missing the point of the series, hell the game on its own isnt all that. It might as well not exist

EA fucked their sales with all their games (except NFS which didn't sell despite effort put into it).  The Mass Effect trilogy was released on PS3 and 360 while they release ME3 on Wii U.  That pretty much ruined any chance of sales for the Wii U version because why would anyone that never played ME start with number 3 with a stupid comic filling them in on what happened previously.  Madden Wii U was developed in under 6 months and lacked features.  All of EA games were gimped except NFS.  Nintendo gamers are used to gimped ports from third party companies and the sales of 3rd party games shows the case.  Release a quality title that isn't gimped and they could be rewarded with decent sales (see MH3 sales on Wii and MH4 sales on 3DS).  MH3 sold way more than the PS2 versions.

Nobody ever said they would get the same sales as Sony/Microsoft but they would have sold better on the Wii u if they weren't late port. That's a fact sorry,. It's also funny that you don't mention Injustice being a bomb, or Skylanders......and those were late ports. Also, CoD (until CoD4) AC, BF and NFS, ME didn't come out on Wii, and now dev's think their games are so good that they have to sell good no matter what.

 I bought it and it is awesome even though I played the shit out of it on Wii.  They added enough to make it feel worth the purchase.  Sitting a little under .5m right now and it might eventually claw its way to .75 or 1m perhaps.  If they released it at launch then I'm sure it would have sold more.  It was a nice filler game though for the slow start of 2013.

You can't compare these, it's different because of reasons



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
