It's a shame I despise sim racers, part of me wants to buy it to support them, because it sounds like they're putting genuine effort into the Wii U version, and that's a very rare thing.

If it can beat the awesome looking Need for Speed Most Wanted U for graphics, then I'll be impressed.

Then don't buy project CARS then. It's dumb to just blindly support something that you dislike just because they do something special on the side and I also hate sim racers too like GT and Forza.

It could be a good port but I think it will tank on the Wii U. There's no infrastructure for this genre on Nintendo platforms as traditionally there aren't any good racing sims.

That also means no competition though. And this time there won't be PS3/360 versions to pull all the sales away from Wii U. Plus Slightly Mad have done a better job of courting the Wii U fanbase than most other third party devs on the platform.

Clearly, it won't sell as well as it will on PS4/Xbone, but I think it has a chance of reaching decent numbers.

That's tough, as without a release date it's tough to estimate the Wii U's install base at that time.

it's expected to release around Q3 or Q4 of 2014 and I'm pretty sure the audience on nintendo consoles aren't very fond of sim racers either.

Cant wait for this game, Im only getting it because i am waiting for Gran Turismo for the Playstation 4, poly said it would be out "2014" but we all know what this means. :/

Not going for the WiiU version by the way, PS4 for me, sorry Nintendo.

Without any big sim racers on Nintendo consoles, it's hard to test that; many Wii U owners might be into GT/Forza on their PS3/360s.

Wanna bet that project CARS will sell less than 350K in it's first six months on the WII U ?
