Nintendo and Third Party... Who is really to blame?

The thing that i've noticed is that a lot of people always say stuff like "Well it's a gimped version or a late port", but even when the game comes out at the same time and is a good/best version they still haven't sold all that well.

I mean, what happened to Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Injustice: Gods Among us, etc?

Those came out at the same time as the other versions and were good ones as well.

It's sad because the people who genuinely do like buying third party games on Nintendo consoles I feel like are held back because the fact that most others won't, meaning they probably won't get the sequel.

You think most Splinter Cell or Tranditional fighting game fans (Tekken, Street FIghter, Dead or Alive etc) ran out to buy a wii U? Why? 

its like asking why Final Fantasy performs weaker on Xbox systems, the fanbase isn't truly there to begin with.

 

But that's the thing, the fanbase WON'T be there if these games don't ever release on the console.

You can't just say "Oh that game didn't sell because the fanbase isn't there" because I feel as though that adds to my comment's point which was that there always seems to be an excuse made for when a third party game doesn't sell on a Nintendo console.

The point of my comment is that the games like Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Injustice: Gods Among us were good versions on the Wii U and came out at the same time as the others and still sold badly, which immediately contradicts whenever people say the usual "Oh it was a gimped version or a late port", or something along those lines.

 

Edit: I don't know what I did but my reply got really mixed up with some quotes. Sorry about that.
