Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Ubisoft Clarifies Reasoning For The Crew Skipping Wii U

SamuraiShampoo on 14 August 2014

I don't think anyone needed clarification on why this wasn't hitting the Wii U.

Nintendo's lack of focus in the online gaming department, is the SOLE reason that most devs skip their console.

DLC, ADD ON CONTENT, if released on the Wii-U, it will be a total waste.

Get your act together Nintendo.

none of that is true.

You do realize basically everything you just said is wrong?

 

On topic: Poor excuse, Ubisoft.   Similar infrastructure?

but wii Us arquiteture wasnt the same as x360's?
Power PC, edram, etc?

XB360 and Wii U are actually quite similar. Closer than 360 and One in some ways. The reason they are porting to 360 is there a big bulk of mass market users still gaming on that as their primary system, so it's easy money. PS3 owners are adopting PS4 at a rapid rate.

The whole "only possible on next-gen" is a total joke, it's amazing anyone believes it. The older systems can play the new games, just with lower resolution, frame rate, draw distance and/or detail.

Gotta love Ubi... all you third party devs who ignore Nintendo are just hurting everyone in the long run. Would we not have a healthier industry if there were three platforms which could sustain third parties? Unfortunately that wont happen unless third parties start encouraging Nintendo fans to have faith in them instead of giving them table scraps and breeding contempt.

Not really sure how they would not make money on a PS3 port, despite the extra cost, it has a userbase of 84 million.

They probably would, but there isn't really a userbase of 84 million. A lot of those have moved over to current gen, are multi console owners, have lost interest in buying new games, or their PS3s have broken. Even of those left only the racing game fans would be interested.


It would still be 50 million +(userbase that is, not racing fans) (and that's being pessimistic).

Edit: Heck, Sony have sold more PS3s in 2014, than MS has sild XBOs in the same period.

Well what else can they say? Nobody bought AC4 so they don't expect anyone to buy The Crew.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

what has this got to do with the topic?

Also it is not hard to fit ALL the content on a disc. If something is DLC means it is not critical to the core game so why would you expent people to buy it? I never buy it on any of my systems.

Lazy devs do not want to learn WiiU´s console architecture. Also, they had 8 years to learn how to use the PS3, were you guys comatose all this time Ubi?

Devs don't need to learn Wii U architecure. 

It has been the same since gamecube but beefed up everytime. With better video card added.

The reason is weak especially coming from Ubisoft who has supported gamecube and Wii well over the years,

Just say it you think it won't sell.

Hell when they said at E3 that they had a completed game on Wii U waiting on the shelf till it sold more consoles, at least they were honest about it. Perhaps a stupid move as that game may have helped shift hardware if it was exclusive.
