this is all true but here's the thing, are those type of games going to sell on the WIi U? Just Dance hasnt done anything, Raving Rabbids, dont think they are gonna do another one of those. ANd i think EA is simply done making those types of games. Those were the types of games that they made money on for Wii. I dont see that happing again for WIi U at least not right now.


But my point is that if you use the argument that PS360 sales for EA and Ubisoft justifies gambling on PS4 and X1, then the Wii U deserves a fair shot based on the money it made for those publishers too. Would they have the same success? Probably not, or at least not yet until more WU's find more homes, but like with all young consoles, it's a chicken/egg sort of thing.

Wii had a very different audience than PS360 did, the types of games that did sell on those consoles were not the type of games that sold on WIi and vice versa. They dont seem to be making those WIi type of games anymore, but i do see what you are saying. Hell maybe they should just start making those types of games.

I should have been more clear in expressing that very last sentence. Even if they don't bring over the AAA's like AssCreed and Mass Effect in the future, then they should at least make some of the games that were successful on Wii and see if the audience is still there. I'd personally prefer the former, but I'm not your typical introverted brat of a hardcore gamer that thinks every single game is supposed to appeal only to my personal interests.  I think the whole "all the casuals completely abandoned Nintendo" mantra is way overblown, and those games that brought Ubi/EA a ton of money before can still be profitable for them now, albeit more modestly.
