WhiteWolf Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Given that the Wii U has a relatively small install base, no one expected Call of Duty: Black Ops II to sell like hotcakes on the system, but according to indie developer Calvin Hallthe sales numbers are much lower than what Activision expected. Hallclaims to have met with “an employee for a studio that makes games forActivision” who revealed that Activision is extremely unhappy with thesales of the Wii U port, going as far as to call out Nintendo fans fortheir hypocrisy. The unnamed Activision employee painted a pretty bleak picture of the company’s opinion of Nintendo fans. Activision didn’t expect much from Wii U sales of BlackOps 2, but they sure didn’t expect it to be that abysmal. Activisiongave Wii U owners the best version of Blops 2 with Off TV features, andNintendo fans didn’t support it. It’s easy for Nintendo fans to trashpublishers for not giving them ports, but publishers have wisened up.They realize Nintendo fans are all talk. Nintendo fans are vocal withtheir mouths, but when it’s time to open their wallets, they’ll spendthat $60 on New Super Mario Bros instead. http://gengame.net/2013/03/rumor-activision-upset-at-black-ops-ii-wii-u-sales-says-nintendo-fans-are-all-talk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choron ka raja Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 So, nintendo fans preferred "super mario 34" over "call of duty 32". and somehow this is newsworthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 One could be tempted to say that not buying CoD even when there are almost no games for the WiiU actually reflects well on Nintendo fans. Hall claims to have met with “an employee for a studio that makes games for Activision” Well, this must be totally true then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
