thats fair, but that doesnt explain the sales of games like COD Ghost and AC4 on Wii U versus those of the PS4/xone. Despite the fact that Wii U was already on the market for a year

But yeah 700k seems waaay off to me.

b r a n d  p o w e r

IMO there is no reason why AC4 is not selling better on the Wii U or Rayman, NFS and several more- Look at The Wonderful 101- great game, sold terribly, no excuses other than Nintendo did not market it which is a crime as it was a new IP and cold have used some marketing muscle-

I hate so say it as I own a Wii U (only a wii u, Wii and 3ds) and I want the option to purchase 3rd party games (I have bought several so far) but I think the Wii u will rarely sell respectable # s of anyone s software other than Nintendo's- It seems most people have bought the Wii U purely for Nintendo games and/or as a 2ndary console

The only 2 Wii U games to sell over 1 million (retail) are Nintendo Land (most of which came w the Deluxe) and Mario WiiU which was one of the few decent games available at launch thru Spring 2013-

There are only 2 or 3 games on the Wii U to date that have sold 500k or more (not including the 2 mentioned above)

considering the major software droughts we have had over the 1st year, one would think any decent game that has been available to purchase would have sold reasonably well as choices were so limited- but that was not the case at all- As bad as the hardware numbers have been, It seems like software sales are going to end up even worse- IMO even as the Wi U user base grows, 3rd parties are going to continue to be very wary.

Sony gamers copying Xbox gamers love of shooters?!?!

Well.Wii U.

Most Wii and WiiU owner are multi console owners. NSF sucked and was a very late port. Wonderful 101 is a niche game that requires a much greater installed base. AC4 is available on 5 consoles activision will be happy if they sell 250-300K. RAyman legend is  a platformer that compete agianst MArio games. BEside had they release the game back in MArch that game would of sold 500K.

Nintendo console are inferior to the competition of course there 3rd parties which are cross-platform will not perform well. Other then Just Dance:P

Ps4 will more be successful than Wii U confirmedz?

Dreamcast 2 console confirmedz?

What's the issue with that? Shooters are fun as hell. 

To be fair most the Wii U ports where months to a year late so your comparing apples and oranges.

Also the next gen "late port" which was actually sold before the console come out anyway, is a significant upgrade to PS3, so it is only natural that people would pick that up instead of something on their last gen console.

COD was killed on Nintendo systems the moment Modern Warfare come out and skipped the system, buy then (me included) went and got a PS3 to play COD games.

In the end its a combination of poor development (look at the new batman compared to the LATE port as an example) and stubborn Nintendo fans dismissing all 3rd party games.
