Of course there would have be good sales on those multiplats. Safest bet for third parties will be PS4/720, just take a look at how 3rd party games did on Wii and games like cod are doing on Wii U. Third parties are not going to make their games for Wii U and port to PS4/720, because it would only piss their primary customers off. It will be either a watered down port or no games at all for Wii U when next gen consoles show up. |
But if costs double just by getting your head around unreal 4 then what will it mean to build your own engine? I am quite sure sales must absolutely skyrocket from day 1 or the risk of development would not justify the development cost.
I've said from the start what I think will happen. You will start seeing a shift in sales as this plays out. Japanese companies will start seeing more sales on nintendo then they did on xbox again. It is pretty much a given call of duty will sell more on xbox but that is because microsoft have everything set up perfectly for that crowd. Nintendo will need to make a serious shift to even think about having that crowd. But there is one market they have better control of.
Despite the huge generalization that third party support sucks on nintendo japanese support often tends to be good. So if nintendo improve that area they will be fine. The only problem is localization. Which they have little control over. Last generation there was very much a reason team ninja were the only japanese company backing xbox by the end. Itagaki was a power lover and companies there actually (funnily enough) saw more sales on nintendo then xbox. that is why there was virtually no support in that area.
Nintendo have virtually no chance of winning the call of duty crowd. One crowd they can win back is the fanbase that play games like resident evil. Bayonetta and monster hunter are good starts in claiming that market overseas.
My only question is why did soundwave even make this thread when he is buying his multiplats on ps3? If he is still playing ps3 wii u multiplats shouldn't bother him.
One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D
