Haha, you're funny. I miss my yellow dog though.

But what do you mean Im hoping for a scenario where multiplats dont exist? This gen the cutoff point for multiplatforms was somewhere between the Wii's power and the X360's power. Who knows where developers decide to make that cut. If it turns out that both the X360 and PS4 are 4 times faster than the Wii U and have some crucial features for breathtaking graphics that the Wii U can't handle, and this in combination with a totally different demographics on the Nintendo, I wouldn't be surprised if guys like Crytek, Rockstar, Valve and Bethesda would decide not to make a Wii U version of their biggest games.

The Wii didn't get ports because the hardware was very-old architecture. Games couldn't be ported to it because it would require being built from the ground up, like with COD.

Wii U is using modern hardware, so even in your scenario where PS4 and 720 are 4 times more powerful, games can still be ported to it because it will support the same featureset as the others. The games will just have to be downscaled with reduced assets/effects/resolution.

Not sure why you have this weird desire to see one of the consoles skipped for multiplats, though. How does it positively affect you?

I'm just going to assume it has something to do with your avatar or extreme fanboyism.

It affects me positively because I want the minimum standard for game and engine development in next gen to be as high as possible. It's not as simple as "just downgrade the graphics a bit" for the weaker machine. The minimum standard for graphically intensive games must be the Nextbox. I want to see games that hardly even can run on the Nextbox and PS4 because they're so carefully optimized and developed from the ground up for those very machines. This way I can crank up reslution and framerate even higher on my PC playing that multiplatform and have a truly remarkable experience.
