If it was on the Wii u it would have sold 12.1 million! Such a wasted opportunity...

If it was on WiiU, i would imagine the game looking more last gen on all platforms as a insurance to make the game be able to run on a hardware weak enough as WiiU at 30fps. So i don't understand why you wish a WiiU version... I would rather buy a Pc or a Xb1/Ps4 for the game even if they made a versjon for WiiU.

Honestly, after playing the game for 6 hours, it doesn't look that much better than Fallout 3 with mods. The lighting model is better, but that is about it.  I think it is possible to port it to the Wii U as is, albeit it probably wouldn't be worth it (probably would end up like Watch Dogs U.) 

Below is an example of Fallout 3 with mods.

I remember when Fallout was a relatively niche PC series before Fallout 3. Same with Elder Scrolls. Bethesda sure knows how to make IP's appealing to mass audiences.

Yeah, and some things are better left that way.

Ditto

OT: Good sales all around though, now it's only a matter of time before some "curirous" (that seems to be the scapegoat these days) folk decide to break things down to pit one against the other and who the supposed winrar is despite the game being fun and gamers having fun with it.


We're on a video game sales site.  If you've a problem with that then you're on the wrong site.

You have a problem with a personal issue?.

So its true then.  You have a problem with sales analysis on a sales site.

Shipped 12 million physical? Or are they possibly counting the digital sales as a "ship" as well? I can't fathom a company shipping 12 million physical these days.


"Shipped" generally tends to mean all physical shipped and digital sold.

So this does include any sales on Steam, PSN and Xbox Live.


How can you ship something digital though? lol

So is this the biggest release next to GTA5?


Nah, this ain't even close to GTAV. GTAV grnerated 800 million dollars in sell through (sold to consumers) revenue, shipped would've been a lot more. This is below CoD Ghosts (1 Bn first day shipped revenue), and Ghosts was a low-selling entry to the CoD franchise.

That's an interesting straw man you've constructed there. But I'm not quite sure what you are suggesting here. Are you suggesting some people are going to comment on which platform has the biggest sales and compare it to the platform that has the exclusive marketing deal, and analyse whether the exclusive marketing deal was a good investment? Depending on how one constructs the analysis it is actually a good topic for discussion, and indeed these sorts of deal would make for interesting academic studies for marketing students. Do exclusive marketing deals for multiplatform products work? Indeed it would be interesting to investigate whether any form of exclusivity, other than absolute and permanent exclusivity, vs the direct competition is beneficial. Personally I think in general there is small or no benefit, with a few exceptions.

No Im talking about you having an issue with my opion in general. Doesn't matter if I have an issue with part of the site or anything. Unless of course you're actively looking for something to slag over (which sounds like it).
