positive. My intial point was fedfed said something that was FACTUAL wrong. Wii U version was not the best selling one, quite the opposite. Those are facts it doesnt matter what the install base is doesnt make my statement wrong. 

honestly i feel that some people use the whole install base to justify crap sales. yes they are important but there are way too many games that sold better on systems that had less install base than the competition most of the COD series. hell every 3rd party game on xbone sold better than its WIi U counterpart. Dance games notwithstanding and skylanders? Hell RE Re sold 3 times as much on ps3 as 360 and they sold about the same. 

Now i know what you would say, but late ports, not good ports, whatever. Which is my point you just cant say install base and call it a day, way more factors.


Not really. Many WiiU owners had probably played it on the 3DS...which has the best selling version.


ok...again not my orginal point.

It was safe to say it before this game was even announced. Nintendo is all on their own.

And Nintendo made it that way.

no it isnt. you have no numbers to back up your point. You dont know for SURE that every Wii U owner that wanted that game had already bought it for 3ds. Hell you used the word "probably" in your own post, which negates it being a fact.

Edit: I mean, now that i think of it. Do you believe that Wii U owners HAVE to have a 3ds. Could 3ds owners have PS3 or 360 instead? I know i do

I'm going to be laughed at for this, but just like in Hollywood, most blockbuster movies now suck and are only explosion filled crap. Most 3rd party triple AAA titles in the future will follow the titanfall, destiny, COD style and unless someone like firaxis starts releasing their games, 3rd party, on consoles, I couldn't care less about 3rd party games.


So you think most of the 3rd party AAA titles will all be FPS? Are you being serious or just joking because you know that is nowhere near true. Heck it isn't even currently true. I can respect you not caring about 3rd party games because to each his or her own but to say MOST of the 3rd party AAA  games that will release will be FPS is just in NO WAY shape or form true....

So you just look at the sales numbers and go "Thats higher, so that wins"?

Yeah, but it was expected with the Wii U's power being far lower than the PS4's and XB1's and while selling bad.

I think this is one of those "i didnt want it anyway so nyaahh!'" scenarios

It's weird though, if the RE:REmaster won't come to the WiiU, because usually Resident Evil games fit well with the Nintendo audience and they actually sell pretty decent. Capcom, it doesn't make sense, why?


because they know it will not sell.  and RE games sold well on nintendo, but the new RE games arnt real RE games anymore.

we dont know so much about the remake and how it will play. but i guess it will suck like the last REs and play like them, u cant sell that crap on nintendo...

No i go "Wii u version sold the least, because it sold the least" Crazy right? But generally that is how it works. Pretty cut and dry for the most part

Edit: actually ill make this easy. Was the Wii U version the worst selling of the four. yes or no answer and anything other than Yes is wrong.
