Forums - Nintendo Discussion - 'Crysis 3' not coming to Wii U due to lack of "business drive"

Bugger sucks 2 be a Nintendo fan. I shall enjoy playing this when it comes out. But im sure the Wii U will get a stack of games that the other 2 wont.

Crysis what?
Is that a new kind of game or something?

Companies aren't people; they don't get "mad" at one another. One thing drives companies - money. Simply put, there are not enough users of the Wii U to warrant making a port.

I've said it before, but some seem to have trouble comprehending it...

A company that looks at the current install base and judges their decisions based purely on that is backwards-thinking and on their way to bankruptcy. Companies must look at future potential, competition, and potential fanbase. Games sell on systems because developers and publishers develop fanbases on those systems. It is not enough to just throw a game at a system with a high install base, you have to make people want your games on the system. And the argument of "there's no interest in the game on that system" is just as ludicrous, because lack of interest comes from lack of support, not the other way around.

In short, if any company thinks the way you do, then they're going to get decimated by the next generation.

Meanwhile, we know they were already working on the port, that porting games to Wii U is relatively cheap, and that there aren't that many shooting games on the Wii U, while the PS3 and 360 have a glut of them to compete against. EA have proven time and again that they don't actually understand gaming, and that's why the only way they ever make a profit is by buying out successful developers... who, after a few years, end up becoming crap, at which point EA has to buy out more developers. Fortunate for Crytek that they're just partners with EA, not owned by them.



Show the power of the Wii U? I don't want another 6 years of hearing about untapped potential! I've had enough of that from the PS guys thank you very much.



Tease.

they could also think the wii u has little future potential or potential fanbase though.

I don't think that.

I don't think that.

They didn't say anything at all, it was Matzy suggesting a reason, and I pointed out that his reason doesn't make sense, and that if EA really think like that, they're headed for a fall.

I'd like to see if EA will ever decide to renounce porting a new game on Ps4/Xbox3 beacuse there aren't enough users on of them.



Well since there ain't no version to reskin like the fifa 13 Wii and Vita versions they would have to actually put money into it.. I can see lack of the business drive in that..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

No third party support... so expected.

It is naive to think that company decisions only based on facts and "where the money is". They are made by people. And people could be huffish or angry.

Fact is that EA wanted Nintendo to make Origin the only Wii U shop system. But Nintendo refused. Some people at EA are surely mad about Nintendo. 

you really know nothing about how companies function dont you?
