UK: Less than 1% of Call of Duty: Ghosts’ sales came from Wii U SKU
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
At least in the UK, Call of Duty: Ghosts is off to an absolutely abysmal start on Wii U. The console accounted for less than 1 percent of the game’s total sales. Believe it or not, Ghosts sold more on the PlayStation 4 even though the console itself has yet to launch in the country.
