Why? Because CoD, a shitty mass produced game is any better? Or Nintendo's idea of flogging a dead horse down to the bone?

I don't care what you think the cliche was from, reality is the PS3 and 360 are aimed at teenagers....Either way, read above. The Wii U has considerably limited resources compared to the PS4, ergo, it won't get many ports, and the ports it will get will be horribly watered down. 

What's with this COD strawman you keep throwing up? And Nintendo at least always keep gameplay central to the experience. By focussing on graphics and story over gameplay, Crytek and Quantic Dreams degrade gaming as a medium.

And the PS3/360 weren't the only consoles of the 7th gen; the Wii's middle aged audience ensured that the 7th gen skewed older than the 6th.

Because CoD is the best selling game...? Hardly a strawman to bring up the most successful game series of this generation...

"Keeping gameplay central to experience"...while ignoring anything and everything else? Graphics, storyline, innovative gameplay (waggling a stick doesn't count)...That's my thoughts on it anyway. At least Crytek and QD push boundries instead of relying on series fans to keep the alive.

Maybe immersion just isn't as important to gamers are developers desperately want it to be.

Gameplay is the core element of gaming as a medium, and Nintendo continue to produce great games on this premise, including some of the most innovative of the last generation. Crytek and QD push boundaries in the wrong direction, pushing gaming AWAY from what makes it unique and effective.

But you're right about one thing, this is off topic.
