Cod just doesn't able to the wii crowd. Not as if they've really put forth the effort..ever. I am more surprised by the collapse of just dance which actually...you know advertised and acknowledged the consoles existence, and still decline abruptky over the last year.

nothing surprising at all. Its an annual game thats NOT a sports game it was bound to decline sooner or later. Same with COD. Dooesnt matter if what they acknowledge people will get bore

I don't think understood what I mean I think it is more telling that Just dance sales have declined on Wii/ wii u than Call of Duty  on wii/wii ufor the reasons i gave.

But COD was never that big on Ninty platforms at any case. Even the best selling WIi ones paled in comparison to their HD counterparts. You're right it isnt telling but there were some who swore up and down that giving a "good" COD it will sell, well here we are.



Activision should try changing the title to call of duty: mario abroad or some such title, if they want the game to sell more next time.



The question you have to ask, and the question Activision needs to ask, is why should one buy Call of Duty on Wii U? If there is no reason to do so, then why have any expectations? I say every sale is bonus when:

- The fanbase is not on Wii U with a game that's mostly played socially with friends
- Wii U version runs with a considerably lower framerate
- Wii U version has no online support
- Wii U version has no DLC

What Nintendo needed to do, was securing that publishers bring their best products on their console. It's too late for that now. No one is associating Nintendo with quality multiplatform titles and it costs too much money on both Nintendo's part as on the third parties part to change this image.

well that explains it. I don't know who was arguing that but they were mistaken.

What we can deduce from this is that WiiU owners have good taste.

Don't be so quick to praise us; I'm a Wii U owner and I bought Ghosts U day 1. :P

Wouldn't know, I never touch COD online, I bought it for campaign and local alien mode, was not disappointed. ;)



That's expected. When the total sales of all platforms are over 13 million, selling 70k on one platform isn't going to equal 1% of sales.
