But didn't Rayman Legends and ASRT sell on par with the other console versions?

The exception, not the rule.

Due to the design of the game, WiiU was the best place to play Rayman and ASRT is more fitting on the WiiU audience.

Exception? Those are the only games I remember that were released at the same time as the other console versions and the ports for Wii U weren't terrible.

Tony Hawk 3 launced with the GC...

Your point? That was 15 years ago when owners of Nintendo consoles bought third party games.}

Times have changed.


Not really. Attach rates on third party games are often bigger on Nintendo consoles...



yes, finally!

Maybe at that time Activision didn't know that the gamecube will sell less then the rest of the consoles, even if they knew how the console userbase will end, most Nintendo fans still buy a lot of third party (they had different result in marketing research) compared with Wii U audience now. It just my early prediction. But i believe there is no conspiracy theory behind this lol, they probably done this based on marketing research.

Oh really? Do you have any evidence to back this up?

Who said anything about conspiracy? They're doing last-gen versions, so a port would be cheap.

Seriously?

Guess we can debate when you have an actual argument.

So why are u so insist, if they dont want then let it be, Is not like the end of the world LOl. They have a reason for not making it on Wii U. and the reason is not just costing , cost is still a cost, even they can make a low cost porting why would they making games if there is no more userbase that can cope with the low cost they use to port the games.

No Wii U? :(

Come'on this would sell on par with the last-gen versions!

I doubt it.

Its coming to PS360 because it has potential to sell well there. On Wii U it would likely flop.


What potential? PS3/360 games are already selling terribly, by the end of the year when this game arrives, what are sales figures going to be like if big sellers like BFHardline are currently openning with 60k WW on 360 and the only other games on the horizon are late version of MKX and FIfa in September?

A Wii U version would quite easily equal them if not surpass them, especially with the audience for such a game being broad, non online focused and inclusive of Nintenso fans if we check sales history on systems like GC. Of course industry patterns are hard to predict, so when this game began development PS3/360 would have been obvious choices so I don't blame them. PS3/360 software plummeted faster then anyone expected giving how all of last years games were cross gen
