Approximately how long does it take for most of the major developers to make a game available to another platform (the Wii U specifically) once they decide to do so? Can they do it (in a practical manner) once they have completed developing the game or do they need to factor all the platforms from the beginning of development?
The reason for my question is, it looks like all of the 3rd party games released and announced for the Wii U were already in development at launch or probably before launch. Now that most of these same developers have said they are either not supporting the Wii u until its install base is big enough to make it worth while, how long would it take for 3rd parties to start ramping up games for the Wii U when/if the install base hits the critical mass they are looking for?
Right now it looks like there will be a healthy amount of good games available for the Wi u from August thru Q 1 2014 when combining 1st, 2nd and 3rd party games. But if the 3rd parties have backed off for now, when is that going to hit the wii U, (I assume aprox 1st Q 2014) and how long will it last? fortunately it looks like it will not be a problem for the next 6 to 9 months.
