Third-party exclusives are pretty much a thing of the past. Suggesting Nintendo is alone in not have many is misleading. Sony and Microsoft will also be focusing on first-party and multiplats.


Yeah but those games have much bigger impact for Sony/MS. They don't really have any impact on Nintendo consoles.

Honestly if Ubi Soft came to me and said "hey Nintendo, we'd love to showcase Rayman at your big E3 event this year", privately I know I'd be thinking "go f*ck yourself, I'm not paying a ton of money to book a stage so you can sell an extra 20,000 copies of your game".

The versions of Watch Dogs, COD, Battlefield 4, etc. that people are going to want to really see are the shiny/higher end PS4/720 versions, highlighting those types of games at the Wii U event would only serve to showcase that Sony/MS have better looking versions of the same games.

Again, not in Nintendo's best interests. And Sony/MS are going to do things like money hat for exclusive DLC and all that (see: Destiny during the PS4 unveil), Nintendo doesn't do that, so all they'd get is a vanilla stage demo, again not really in Nintendo's interests.

I'm actually not so sure Activision is even going to bother with Call of Duty on Wii U this year. Destiny is not coming either.
