Nintendo is silent for a reason

new perspective i just thought of to add.

how damaging to vita and boosting to 3DS was the MH4 announcement? think about it.

 

 

 

It was beyond major.  But Nintendo can't do that on WiiU.  You're talking about moving the single biggest title on a system and a 3rd party exclusive from your competitor to your own.  That would be like Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 4 announced as WiiU exclusive. Boost WiiU and damage others? For sure, but it's not going to happen.  The best Nintendo could hope for would be like what MS did and announce that GTA5 and FFXV will be coming to WiiU as multiplat.  That would help interest for sure, but probably not too much.  1st party announcement will create buzz, but the actual sales probably won't happen until the games are closer to release.

MH4 still isn't out and maybe i have a cloudy view of history but as i remember it there as almost an overnight change in perspective.  vita hate and 3DS optimism when though the roof.
