Most telling - No CoD:BO2. Virtually no EA - After they had the head EA guy on stage last year talking about how they are working together. End result - One port of a 9 month old game. Not even EA Sport Active 3 (their top selling Wii game). No Dead Space 3. No Madden. No FIFA. Capcom - Long time ally. Squat. No RE6... Square Enix - No Tomb Raider. No Dragon Quest X - ? Ubisoft came out swinging. Did for Wii too and it paid well for them. Nintendo should just buy Ubisoft. Having Assassin Creed, etc exclusive would do them wonders. No one prospered more from Wii than Sega. In return - Two games for Wii U. Must admit - releasing Sonic Kart prior to Mario Kart looks like a winning move. Other publishers: Not much to see here. If support is this weak to start... WiiU will need Wii-like sales out the gate, and even then it'll be a long wait for Activision/EA/Etc to jump on board. By the time they decide too, they'll be too busy making games for PS4/720 which won't be compatible with WiiU. |
That's right. This is why they did so well during the Wii's life cycle. They will make bank, since they are making up almost a quarter of the launch lineup. The other publishers weren't smart, not porting at least one of their big games to the Wii U for launch. They don't even need to use the Wii U touchscreen. Surprised that there was neather CoD: BlOps 2 or BF3...
