It isn't a problem when third parties are bad at maths.

1.5m 360s: Get KH III and FF XV for X1.
12m Wiis: No KH III and FF XV for U.

It's easier to port from PS4/modern PC to X1. If Wii U was getting a version, then 360/PS3 would probably be getting one too.

Aw, you were too quick with your edit. At least you realized how stupid your initial reply was.

Anyway, if Square-Enix wanted to make Wii U versions, it wouldn't be a problem, because the Wii U is compatible with the latest Direct X features or whatever is used nowadays. The games in question have been long enough in development to safely say that the decisions against Wii U versions were made before the Nintendo console tanked in sales. So it's neither horsepower, system architecture or sales that are the cause for the lack of Wii U support.

I think it's just time to accept the Wii U isn't going to get a lot of support from third parties. The Wii U is also way less powerful than even an X1, it's in reality probably just a little more powerful than a 360/PS3 despite some people being in massive denial about this.

"Scaling" these games down to run on something with 1GB of RAM vs. 5GB of RAM and a 300 TFLOP performance versus 1.2TFLOP/1.8TFLOP would likely require a lot of headaches and compromises.

As for the point of this thread, which is the 360, MS needs to drop the price. There should be an SKU for $129.99 with 16GB of storage or something. It's eight freaking years old, time to get the price under $150 already.
