Kotaku - 659 people are playing standard multiplayer and 68 people are playing Zombies mode on Wii U. More than last week.
For comparison, there are 511,529 people playing standard multiplayer and 124,321 people playing Zombies mode in Black Ops II on Xbox 360.
Of course, it's not fair to directly compare a console that launched last week with a console that's been around for six years. So let's do some math.
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
How does one sell over 500k units and not have at least 5-10k players in Black Ops 2? Sure there isn't a glitch somewhere?
Edit: It has just occurred to me that many of these consoles are gifts, not to be opened until Christmas. Therefore, seems legit.
Well it's better than nothing right? I wonder how many are playing that new Mario game?
I'm assuming that Zombie U and NSMBU are the most played Wii U games right now and maybe Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Think about how much Black Ops 2 sold on Xbox360, then on PS3, and lastly PC, now unless you only have a WiiU, or are a casual, would you really get Black Ops 2 on a console with very, very few amount of COD players. IDk, I just think the WiiU will support more third party games, but will still do what the Wii PRIMARILY did, and that is support the casuals.
does kotaku have anything else to write about other than nintendo bashing? probably not, they are some of the worst gaming journalists i've ever read
