Wii U - 2.2 million. Xbox 360 - 73.8 million. Early adopters just have to deal with slow growth till the market catches up. By the next game it'll be better, and even more if the next gens don't kill the console.
This is such a STUPID argument. The XBox 360 came out in mid 2005 and Call of Duty 2 came out like around 2-3 months later. Call of Duty 2 sold over a million units on the 360. So the install base for the platform argument really makes no sense, because CLEARLY a game like CoD 2 EASILY sold hand over fist on a pretty much brand new XBox 360.
To put this into perspective. The 360 by the end of 2005 sold roughly 1.5 million systems. Call of Duty 2 on the 360 by the end of the year sold over a million copies (and CoD2 came out around October 2005). CLEARLY the Wii U audience simply mostly do not play or care about CoD or Batman or Assassin's Creed, etc. That's why these games didn't sell well. How effen hard is this to comprehend? Why do people STILL use the "new system, give it time" excuse? It's asinine and stupid.
