System Faults Didn't Stop THQ From Bringing Metro: Last Light To Wii U

@ Bolded: I don't see how the decision to not pay for the port of a likely relatively mediocre selling game from a studio whom THQ doesn't own is a bad one. What proportion of the Wii market is interested in a niche shooter like Last Light whom also don't have an Xbox 360 nor PS3? Porting a game like Assassins Creed or Black Ops 2 makes a lot more sense given the fact that Nintendo is likely to incentivise their porting as they are important titles and they are likely to outright sell a reasonable number of copies.

Well, I'm working on the assumption that THQ are the ones funding development, based on the fact that THQ speaks in terms of "we" when discussing development of the title. And if THQ are funding development, they can require development for more platforms.

Meanwhile, who said anything about the Wii market?

And Nintendo isn't incentivising "important" titles, they're incentivising titles for which UPad usage is strong and unique.

Tell me, if someone owns both a 360 and a PS3, are they completely incapable of choosing which platform to get games for?
