Bethesda/Gearbox point out why they don't support Wii U

S.T.A.G.E. said:

Like Activision and Ubisoft just found out, correct? In terms of next gen expectations, they are not incorrect. In terms of current gen they are assholes to not think the Wii U is more than capable. Nintendo did not consult devs about the next generation of gaming. They only sought to come after the current gen and try to act like they were the biggest guy on campus, then Sony and MS took the rug out from under them from the february to may period.

Sorry....but what are you talking about? "try to act like the biggest guy on campus"............what?

Also, Ubisoft had the highest selling third party Wii title to date (half a million copies), followed by Lego City and Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate. Ubisoft and Activision both are supporting Wii U with several titles this fall/holiday season, so they both obviously have faith that Nintendo will boost system sales (with the price drop and Zelda bundle, as well as Mario, DK and Wii Fit, they will), and obviously think it's worth it to support the console. Though to be honest, if they had kept Rayman as an exclusive and released it in Feb., it would have undoubtedly sold better than what it's going to wind up selling on any console this fall, with such stiff competition.

Also, I know my Nintendo history just fine. But their relationship towards third party studios in the Iwata era is much improved over the Yamauchi era. Vastly improved. The Wii U started off with very strong third party support. A lot of those games didn't light up the charts because they were quickly made ports, but the point is third parties felt Wii U was worth putting their games on. And as far as Bethesda and Gearbox are concerned, with the exception of the now-cancelled abortion of an Aliens game, what have either company ever put out on Nintendo systems to begin with? It's not exactly as if they have a history of support in either case.
