To be honest with you. I think 3rd parties are still pissed of that they took hits this gen ebcause non of them expected Wii to win. They backed the wrong horses and lsot money initially.

Every gen since N64, 3rd party devs complain about Nintendo's console for one reason or another. They always seem to find an excuse not to develop for it. Whether Nintendo tries Gimmick, or underpowered cosnole or overpowered console doesn't seem to make a difference.


I bet if NIntendo stole a nextBox and put the components in a WiiU case, 3rd party devs would still claim that Wii U is too hard to develop for without turning on the console (as according to IGN from their mystery survey).

There's a rational reason why 3rd party is lacking on the Wii, it's not because developers are fanboys, it's because either the game they're building for ps360/PC just doesn't translate well to such a weaker system with such a different control scheme, or because the publisher of said game has had bad sales on the Wii or thinks it will have bad sales. Or both. 

Developers and especially publishers don't hate money, so if there isn't a rational reason to not develop for a Ninty console, they will.

that is because they have either released crap or "test games" to test sales.

i.e. CAPCOM and their on rails RE games.

 

if they trully cared about suceeding on the wii they would have built games from the ground up early on when sales boomed. 4-5 years into the console like was too late.
