Iwata needs to stop praying for someone to suddenly see the value he feels the console has and actually present it himself. He's sort of leaving the ball in their court, a bad idea at best. |
Its also what was said about the 3DS.
Besides the Wii U has a way more desirable controller then any other Console for Western Developers. And the Wii U already has plenty of Western 3rd Party Support.
I wouldn't count on Japanese 3rd Parties supporting that much, just like I don't count on Western 3rd Parties supporting the 3DS that much.
It seems that the Wii U will get the kind of 3rd party support from western Devs that the 3DS gets from Japanese Devs.
