| curl-6 said: More power doesn't guarantee them third party support anyway; Wii U can run 360/PS3 ports yet missed out on many. Gamecube could run PS2/Xbox ports but missed out on many. Hindsight is 20/20, but at the time Nintendo made the right decision under the circumstances. And it worked out well for them, generating billions of dollars in profits and making Wii one of the most successful consoles in history. |
Wii U missed on multiplats cause it came last year and not 7 years ago! It's just not viable at this point.
GCN was in the era of exclusive 3rd party games and was treated just like Xbox or DC. Had they done exactly what MS has done, they'd get 3rd parties just like MS got them. Instead they went their own way and did benefit at first, but have to pay the price now for alienating 3rd parties and gamers. It's good they made so much money, cause they need it now to undo their mistakes.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
