Will Hardcore Gamers Ever Purchase Wii U Games?

Hardcore gamers purchase the best version. The best version of multiplats usually isnt on the Wii U.

They do buy exclusives though.

Precisely this.

If Nintendo can secure high quality mature exclusives like Bayonetta 2, they'll do fine.

At this point though, even if the definitive version of mature multiplat came to WiiU, I don't think it'd sell them best. Could maybe sell well, maybe similar to Resident Evil 4 did on GC.

There's never been a WiiU mature multiplat that accomplished ALL and I mean ALL of the following

-Significantly better graphics than 360/PS3

-Not broken on release

-Not missing features or content compared to other versions

-On time

This is pretty much the reason for the 3rd party problems. One of them at least.

OP:

The term hardcore seems incredibly misued here, but the argument (except maybe the smartphone part) is pretty solid.
