The only 3rd party game Wii U isn't getting this holiday that actually matters is GTAV, and there still hasn't been a 100% confirmation one way or another that it won't eventually get a port, along with the other next gen consoles getting ports. It's getting Watch_Dogs the same as everyone else next year (after being pushed back). It's got Batman, it's got Assassin's Creed, it's got CoD: Ghosts. I suppose you could argue Battlefield 4, but it seems the "mass market" tends to care more about CoD than BF. It certainly isn't getting as many multiplats as it could or should, but it's still got a healthy showing this holiday season, and so long as console sales improve, which they inevitably will, then it will most likely have a healthy showing next holiday season as well. |
I seriously doubt that rockstar work with nintendo platforms. Battlefield 4 is actually a pretty big game. The WII U may be doing decently right now in terms of providing content but how about the future ? If third party games keep bombing on the WII U I see no reason for multiplatform developers to continue porting to the WII U. So I wonder about the future of thrid parties on the WII U. The problem with the WII U outselling the X1 has to do with the fact that no one else other than nintendo fans seem to be buying the consoles. Sure it may have a price advantage and all but it doesn't have a massive enough audience. That's partly due to the fact that alot of users from the WII didn't play much third party games and that nintendo isn't for it's third party games on it's platforms. The WII U is pretty much the antithesis to the WII in every way possible.
It needs to explode soon or otherwise the momentum is going to drive down like crazy when the PS4 launches. Nintendo made a very important mistake of pricing the console at $350 initally and $300 barebones but don't worry the steambox will likely flop the hardest.
