What is the case for the Wii U getting PS4 and next Microsoft console content?

I actually hope it's on the same boat as the Wii based on third-party content. As I play every multiplatform game on PC, I'm not buying any next-gen console to play games that are cheaper and better on PC. I want a console that gives me smaller-budget third-party exclusives, like the Wii did.

 

About the multiplatform ports, Wii U has similar achitecture to PS4/NextBox, so it's just a question of lowering the graphical quality. The Wii situation was entirely different, as Wii was a single-core CPU/fixed function GPU console while 360 and PS3 were multi-core CPU/programmable shader GPU consoles, therefore, engines that worked on the Wii didn't worked on PS3/360 and vice versa. Wii U case is totally different, as every engine that works on PS4/NextBox should work on the Wii U.

The fact the games are possible doesn't mean they are feasible. For Wii U to get those ports, they have to start selling. So far there is no indication of that happening and I'm sure that the list of 3rd party developers interested in taking the risk of checking if the market exists is getting shorter every week. Once PS4 and X720 get out, Wii U ports will look really bad in comparison, so the chances of people buying them on Wii U will get even smaller than now when the ports from PS360 are on par. It will be hell if developers go the easy way and release next gen versions of games on PS4/720 and reduced ports on PS360 and Wii U. That would kill Wii U multiplats in a couple of months.

Just look at RE: Revelations not getting a Vita release. You can't tell me that it's because Vita can't handle the game... It's cause crapcom decided it's not going to earn them money (idiots!!). Wii U is in a similar, if not worse situation.
