If there are no racing sim fans for Wii U then how did the Wii U community know more about it than the Xbox Community? Why is a pole taken from the community of people most excited about the game not representative of the community excited for the game?

Please read. I've already explained everything.

I never said there are no  racing sim fans on Wii U. Just that 99% of racing sim fans don't own a Wii U because if they wanted to play racing sims in the past, Nintendo was never an option. Every racing sim fan owns at least a PS360 or PC or PS4/X1. There is simply no reason to get it for Wii U for them. The people who will buy this game own nothing but a Wii U. And now you tell me the percentage of racing sim fans who own nothing but a Wii U.

The poll is garbage because of the composition of the Project Cars community so far. Since it's been presented for Wii U and PC from the start, those players are of course the vast majority. Having a platform poll there is as irrelevant as having a poll on Steam or a poll on in a Playstation forum on which platform they will be playing Destiny.

The community is made up of Wii U and PC fans. Most Xbox fans don't even know about this game. It's is not even close to represent the actual demand for the individual platforms accurately.

Isn't Project Cars supposed to be better than Forza?

Project Cars will not sell significantly less on Wii U because of the delay. It is highly anticipated and there is virtually no equal for it on the platform. The only people who will not buy it because of the delay are bitter fanboys. So please don't pretend that it would suddenly sell millions more if it weren't for the delay.

I am skipping because of delay that doesn't mean I'm a bitter fanboy. I'm not a big fan of sim racers at all, was only going to pick up because they were going to be one of the few third parties to support Wii U this Fall/Winter. Now that it's not coming this fall my interest is pretty much gone. Stop generalizing, not everyone falls into the same fanboy category.

You're right. There are all kinds of fanboys. For example those who only buy games because their favorite company can generate some money, even though they're not interested in the game.

Totally forgot about those. Thanks.

Also delaying a game = not supporting the platform? Got it.

Was not hyped before still not hyped.

Seriously racers and 2d space shooters are the two genres I never will understand the love for.



Consoles: 3DS, Wii U, and Vita soon. Super Paper Mario fan.

I feel bad for the people that actually funded this through kickstarter. PS4/WiiU/PC were crowd funded and then the Wii U users who donated just got screwed over. Good thing this type of game doesnt interest me,otherwise I'd be pissed lol

Third Party doesn't sell well on the wiiU so I get why they are delaying it. On top of that, its most likely easier to port ps4/x1 games to PC and the wiiU is the only console out of the 3 thats not x86 so, even though I don't like the delay very much, I get why but even if it came out at the same time, I doubt many people would buy it since its 720p 30fps. Sure dx11 but it will look better and feel better on ps4/x1/PC anyway


the game was pc and wii u exclusive and began development for years before the other two versions. so your point is not a valid one.

Also: If there is more demand for the Wii U version why is it selling better on PS4 and X1?

Why is what selling better on PS4 and X1? The game hasn't released yet.

Strange huh? Not even released yet and already selling better on PS4 than Wii U.

But in all seriousness, it will sell better on PS4 and X1 than on Wii U. That is as much a prediction as a fact.

That prediction will probably end up true... but only because of this decision to delay the Wii U version.

I love the utter hate around the gaming community for Nintendo. Third parties and gaming "journalists" just can't stand Nintendo period, first Ubisofts bullshit now this, its getting pathetic. You know why gaming is dying because Nintendo and Mobile games are the ones offering kid friendly games period. My generation is what started the home console boom and made it the huge market is today. Third parties are the problem period only making Mature games that kids can't play. So in turn started this decline. Children will keep gaming going and if you don't make games for them parents will not buy the systems. Thank you Nintendo for understanding and keeping gaming alive.

He's wrong about the Wii U being the most desired version, that belongs to PC (Windows + Steam OS). But in reality the new HD twins should get very good sales regardless. Internet polls don't represent the market in real life.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
