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

COD 700k? 70% attach rate?

LOL no.

Embarrassing.

And before you say it, VGC will give XB1 a similar attach rate and it'll be just as bogus.

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


Some of the WiiU ports were straight down grades, with features cut out and tons of bugs.  Madden in particular comes to mind.

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.


Then CoD, AC and the like would've sold better on PS4 if they weren't late ports?

obviously.

Sooooo anyway.

Aside from the gloating/mocking, what exactly is the point behind the thread?

Pezus always wanted to be the RolStoppable of the PlayStation fanbase on VGC. The difference is that Rol's efforts are actually good.



Nintendo and PC gamer

Cool story.

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

WIIU version of the games was release 6 days after the World wide release of COD BO2 on November 12.

The COD BO2 graphic is similar on the WiiU compare to PS360. COD BO2 as a fastly inferior online play because of the low number of WiiU owner. 

The PS4 version of COD Ghosts is the best version of the game. The graphic are fastly superior to any other consoles including the Xbox One.

Stop comparing apple and orange and justifying your result. Any thread comparing the WiiU result which is a failed system at this point to the PS4 (clear favorite to win this generation console war) is simply sad.

Its obvious that Nintendo has no excuse. This didn't need to be restated. Third party games will sell in low quantities on Nintendo because they were conditioned to operate that way.

Rayman Legends? Just Dance?

I would agree, that Nintendo console have a different audience and therefore games tailored to the audience of other consoles sell worse on Nintendo-systems, while games tailored to the audience of Nintendo-consoles sell better on Nintendo-systems. Surprise, surprise.

This thread is kinda silly. I think the bitching over "late ports" was titles like Batman, Ninja Gaiden and Mass Effect, titles that were in some cases a year old and being offered cheaper on existing platforms. These games made it seem like there were lots of titles available at launch for Wii U, but there really wasn't much worth while.

Of course the 3rd party titles for PS4 launch did 2-4X as well as the 3rd party titles for Wii U launch - they don't have much first party competition. Both systems saw an attach rate of around 2.5 titles, but in Wii U's case Nintendoland was included in over 2/3s of the systems while NSMBU was purchased by something like 80% of buyers. There is not many dollars left over for other games. Titles like COD are regulated to second-tier, while on PS or XBox platforms they take the lead. Weak titles Killzone or Knack do not entice many customers.

The weak first party presence on the Playstation platform is certainly a factor in 3rd party support, but I'm not quite sure what the point is.

If one wants to celebrate Playstation and bash Nintendo there are some great opportunities right now - the huge 1st week for PS4 being one - but 3rd parties selling double or more while 1st parties perform far worse doesn't seem like a good place to start.

Pezus has no chance. i would give banaking the title Rol of the Sony fanbase. His posts are entertaining. To be fair, Rol has lost a bit quality lately, hopefully it will get better again.

Haha.... While the creator of this thread is gloating about COD Ghost being the best selling game on PS4 and selling 3.5 more then the WiiU version of COD BO2, he's forgot to mention that COD Ghosts is the only game worth playing on the PS4.

PS4 only as four games worth playing Battlefield 4, COD Ghosts, AC4 and Killzone. All of which are simple graphical upgrade of current gen games, other then Killzone but that game isn't the killer apps it could of been.



The main reason why multiplats don't sell on Nintendo consoles are because most Nintendo fans don't give a shit about them. But that doesn't stop them from bitching about it. Go figure.
