I hear ya, but that's not entirely true. Making AAA single player focused games exclusives for PC is generally a boondoggle. Which is why that's rare.

For many AAA games, they make their money on home consoles. However, many AAA games can still fairly well on PC. Well enough to justify bringing those games to PC. Hence, for those games PC is just an extra stream of revenue whether they sell 500K, a million, or whatever.

I'm gonna take a guess and say Wii U only has like three active online shooters. Ghosts, BO2, and Splatoon. That's why those games have maintained a farily active userbase on Wii U, they have nothing else. PC players on the otherhand have countless other games to play if they get bored of CoD.

if we say thats true, then watch dogs should have sell millions of copies on wii u. Simple because they dont have any other open world action game like gta, just cause, mafia and co. But it did horrible. It may be a reason, but its not explaining the whole thing ;)

What a strange response. I don't get the logic.

Yeah Puggsly you are right in terms of PC gaming as a whole is doing great but these AAA blockbusters all seem to crash and burn on the platform.

As JNK said, more Wii U players on BO2 than PC. Something has seriously gone wrong.

AAA games don't crash and burn on PC, they just can't make a profit solely on PC. Hence, they are profitable ports on PC. Studios just can't rely solely on PC.

I'll repeat what I said to JNK in regards to CoD population on Wii U vs PC. Wii U owners have very few options when it comes to shooters, so those few games stay fairly active. When PC players are bored of CoD, they have countless other online games to play.

Yeah you're actually right.  Wii U has a terribly bad library of shooters to choose from so that makes sense.  

 

Still,  the PC stats for many games are shocking,  Wii U considered or not.

The few shooters WIi U has are good, but you can get a better library of shooters on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4. So that's where many of console shooting fans are.

Its not "shocking," you just have to take into consideration console and PC gamers don't have the exact same interest in games. Games like CS:GO and TF2 do really well on PC, while console gamers haven't shown much interest in those game.

Personally, I think Watch Dogs did poorly on Wii U because the main character isn't Mario, enemies aren't turtles, and the antagonist isn't Bowser.

alright then why again are there more active players on blops 2 on wiiu as on pc if cod blops 2 on wii u dont have mario ?

Why does CoD:AW, CoD:BO3, BF4, BF:HL, and SW:BF have more players on PC than Wii U?

Oh right, because PC useres have many differnt online games while Wii U has few. You should take that into consideration.

I want to wonder why some AAA online only shooter numbers aren't so great on PC and then I remember who are the ones behind them and then it becomes a no brainer.
