Oh it's a very stupid comparison. Like the OP was trying to give us a "wake up call" regarding the PS4's popularity.
There are more overall PS4 online players than Wii U online players today, and from here on out. Period.
No desperate Wii U attention threads like this are going to change those facts.
The problem is that well under a percent of PS+ members are even thinking of playing the game. It should be closer to a percent and maybe over 5000 people playing at once.You can brag about the amount of people playing online on the PS4, but when not even a 1% of the people that have PS+ on the somewhat small PS4 userbase is playing the game, but instead deserting that game for games that sold slightly better than that game(around .5 to a million more) then something must be fundamentally wrong with the game and the franchise. Killzone shadow fall sold be beating COD Black Ops WiiU by at least a couple of thousand in terms of online population and they shouldn't be this close or anywere within a thousand away from each other.
I don't know much about Killzone online modes and I don't have Shadowfall (never played a KZ online), but did that picture take a pic of the right menu - are those global KZ:SF players or just for a certain mode?
Gears of War 3 has sub menus showing specialty modes where there are almost no people playing. Completely dead. Take a picture of that and someone will go "yup, dead. I knew it."
Then, click "B" a couple times to go back to the main online menus and you'll see that still actually has 1,500-2,500 worldwide (to this day). It depends which menu you take the numbers from.
I'm not going to pretend KZ was ever a huge online game. If it truly has low numbers, I doubt anyone would even deny it, and I don't think anyone here ever said this game would rival CoD in online players. KZ would not even enter our minds as one of the Top 5 leading candidates for biggest online PS4 games.
But as I said before, this thread was made to make it seem as if trouble is brewing ahead in the next six months for PS4 online, and that the Wii U has some untapped resiliency that will come in useful one day. That is a funny daydream to have. If this thread actually had a good point, it would provide pics of many PS4 games showing online ghost towns and the Wii U beating them in online numbers. Then something called a point would've been made, and legitimate concern would be raised about the PS4.
This KZ comparison is like a supermarket screaming "We are no longer selling Diet Crush soda. Alert the media!! Soda sales crisis imminent." Nobody cares and this baby-sized bit of news says nothing about the larger whole at all.
And once again, when more accurate CoD PS4 vs CoD Wii U numbers are asked for, not a peep (more accurate is bad!). When you properly align something using better fixed points of comparison, Sheep kind of run away fast.
