Like I have stated 100 times before, completely unify the Nintendo ecosystem so that all games are available on all devices. No longer should Nintendo fragment their audience by splitting resources between two or more separate devices. Look at the the support Nintendo platforms have gotten in the last 9 months.

And a whole bunch of indie & Virtual Console titles, so there is literally never a drought when u combine both sets of hardware. Power is not a major selling feature for Nintendo, so yes they should go with a device that is less powerful than the competitors but this time don't use expensive unnecessary features that raise the cost of hsrdware like 3D screens or Gamepad controllers.

Now that all games are on either device, there is less need to make 2 separate entries of their major franchises meaning the increased output of new ip which in turn means a higher chance of finding the next big craze like Pokémon or Minecraft.

It wasn't just PR babble, Iwata specifically said they were going to attract a whole new audience to consoles and they did. Having a clear cut strategy and executing it effectively by definition is not luck or an accident.

It was second but sold a lot less than x360 version even with the difference in userbase.

On the subpar version, we have so much claim that graphics don't matter that I started believing.

Have sports franchise sold well on Wii before being chopped?

Posted elsewhere on here, but I think it pretty much sums up this too regarding Project CARS:

I refuse to believe there is a huge crowd of Sim Racer hungry users just dying for a game on Wii U. It seems far more likely that Nintendo websites sniffed the chance to get a 3rd party game and sent all their users to tick Wii U.
The simple truth is, this would have struggled to muster up tens of thousands of sales on Wii U.

The arguments just don't stack up for me. People are upset because Nintendo users have been denied a chance to play the game now. Yet evidence of previous 3rd party releases shows that there isn't an audience there wanting to play the games on Wii U. It would have been a late port, which is used as justification not to buy a game on Nintendo. It would have been inferior in every way to the other versions, which is used as a justification not to buy a game on Nintendo. Newsflash, if you only have a Wii U, it doesn't matter how gimped or late a port is, it's still the only way you can play that game. So if you really wanted it, you'd still buy it.

Then we're led to believe that SMS have cut off a huge chunk of their potential audience? Pretty much anyone wanting this game would have already had access to it on PC, PS4 or XB1, because this is where the audience for this genre of game lies. As is the case for most other 3rd party titles.

This was the real reason PS3 games sold well despite being inferior to the Xbox 360 versions. They still wanted the game, and didn't have a 360 and so had to "settle" for the inferior version.

Nintendo consoles have a very set audience that buy very specific things. Generally it has a Nintendo logo on it. It's what people buying Nintendo consoles want, and it's what they hand their money over to consume.

So why would anyone pay full price for Watch Dogs on Wii U 9 months later when it's in bargain bins everywhere else? It's a valid excuse, just being a good game doesn't offset this it's that kind of thinking that encourages developers to try the things people dislike today like microtransactions, the game was released in the holiday season right next to Smash on top of this as well and people wonder why a version handled by its developer like an illigitimate from out the blue didn't sell. It's as comical as Ubisoft delaying and releasing Rayman next to GTAV, if I was a single platform owner I wouldn't buy it either and opt for Smash.

So I assume you didn´t/won´t pay full price for kirby(in europe), XBXC, Bravely second and most likely FExSMT. I mean they are late "ports" after all.

Wow, the bargain bin point went completely over your head.

It was. And Wii was kind of a last resort option. Basically an overclocked Gamecube with Wiimote instead of controller. The hardware actually shows how desperate Nintendo was at that point. They put everything on the motion control card hoping it would be a hit. Not coming behind with production for a pretty long time actually shows how surprised Nintendo was.

Wii U as a whole shows they haven't really understood that success until this day nor are they able to repeat it easily.

Disclaimer: I´m not somebody who cares that much about a games price...If I want it I buy it

Now I assume all the games I listed were in the bargain bin in Japan and the U.S.A. (in Kirbys case) by the time they released in Europe and/or the U.S.A. (in the case of all games beside kirby). I mean they were released 5 months(kirby), 2 years(original xenoblade. I assume X will release by december? so 9 months) and in bravely´s case most likely another 9 months later (bravely second released in april, so at least another 9 months till it releases ww as defaut took 14 months for Europe and 16 for the U.S.A to release). Anyways my point is "it doesn´t matter if a game comes later" last gen I was a PS3 only gamer and Bioshock is one of my most beloved experiences on it. Yeah full fucking price, 14 months after Xbox...and I never regretted it. You know why? it´s a friggin great game in my opinion. But yeah continue walking whatever kind of path you´ve chosen. In the end it´s your loss to deny yourself such great games

Can't read a post or just plain didn't to rush out an argument?
