Why is this game a ghost town...

3000 max and 1500 max in the mornings. Why is this game so unpopular?
On Xbox they get around 500k players online, averagely. 500 Thousand Players.
Is there anything we can do to make this more popular? Christmas hasn't really helped...

Yeah, buy a Wii U for your 71 million closest friends:

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.

Thanks for the info El P ;)
Yeah, it's just annoying that the best CoD isn't populated on the best console.

For sure. It's grown steadily since the first week when there were 200 people on at peak times, so hopefully it will continue as people pick up the system.

For now, are you hoping for more players for a certain mode or better hosts or what?

Three reasons

1. It's on a brand new system so no installed player base
2. Most people who play the game play it for the 360/PS3
3. and most importantly, it's an unoptimized piece of s*** on the WiiU and Treyarch wouldn't know how to fix a problem even if it bit them on the ass.

This.

The game came out like a week before this system even came out. Most people play on the 360,PS3, and PC. By the time it came out on the wii, over a million people were online and going strong. The game was honestly doomed from the get go really. Next cod will be much better by then assuming other new console come out around the same time.

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.
