All sales count in the end. I just find it hugely ironic that Nintendo fans put the blame on EA for not supporting the console, when Wii U owners are just snubbing off the games in favour of Nintendo ones. And the reason why I said that is because Nintendo promised you guys great third party support, yet their marketing says otherwise. I don't see any Wii U adverts advertising huge franchises like Fifa or any other third party games and why I should buy that over the PS3 or 360 versions of the game. |
Of course Nintendo fans will favorite Nintendo games over third party games, they are called fans for a reason. The same thing applies to Sony and MS fans. And like before you are generalizing, many Wii users on this site do own a lot of third party games. Heck one of my fav games this gen (Okami and Monster Hunter Tri) came from 3rd party devs, and many Nintendo fans will tell you the same.
What? Unless both Nintendo and EA made a contract where Nintendo has to do the marketing of EA games this doesn't make sense at all. Third parties pay for their own marketing, Nintendo's job is to sell the Wii U and first party games, third party are their own business. And also that's not true, because Nintendo has already made partnerships with 3rd parties, examples: Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Fire Emblem x Shim Megami Tensei, publishing Lego City and Monster Hunter in Europe, helping a lot indie devs with free dev kits and free Unity licenses, etc.
