With it being so similar to PS360, developing-wise... I wonder just how many exclusive games the Wii U will get.

I have a feeling the vast majority of Wii U games from 3rd parties are gonna be straight ports of PS360 games. It's one of the reasons why I don't think Sony or Microsoft have to launch a new console, just because Nintendo are.

It's been brought up before, but this was also the case early on in the 360's life cycle. It didn't get any exclusive third party games worth a damn until... what, Dead Rising? I'm gonna say Dead Rising.

That sounds correct, and even then it's exclusivity (or the fact that it was made at all) was largely due to Inafune's influence, or at least that's how i seem to remember it

Play4Fun makes the better point, however. How many third party exclusives are there going to be in Gen 8 period that are not moneyhatted? It's easier to make peripheral use of the U-Pad, to port it and still have something slightly unique on there (if only moving the more obstructive parts of the HUD down off the screen), and third parties aren't going to want to exploit the Wii U's greater power significantly in such a way that would make a game impossible to down-port, simply due to the financial risk at this point
