Wii-U needs another price drop and better 3rd party support. I mean, last year it missed GTA V, and games like Kingdom Hearts 3, FF XV, Aliens Isolation, etc. are not being developed for the console. That's a big problem for the system.


Third party support only comes from console sales. So Nintendo needs to sell the console and why would GTA release on it when its not reeleasing on any next gen console? That's more work for rockstar and their busy fixing their buggy game. Damn thing isnt even out on PC

Umm no, this is a gross over simplification. How did x1 and PS4 have large third party support befiore they sold 1 console? They made systems that make it easy for publishers/developers next gen titles to run on, and to develop for. Not too mention having robust online infrastructure. nintendo also have not dont anything to really try to foster positive third party goodwill toards them and are payign the price now.

 

Nintendo made a weak system way too late in the gen, when most devs are moving on too next gen engines, making putting the games on the wii-u a head ache. Then there is the gamepad.

 

Said engines run on WiiU anyway. Dont be daft

WiiU and Xbox and PS4 had similar third party support upon release. WiiU had cancelled games though. Its all about the sales

Weak system my ass that will only start to be a problem when fucking engines cant scale for shit and devs have to start removing parts like global illumination and the like, but thats nothing compared to having to make different VERSIONS of the game like Activision did on the Wii.

 

The nIntendo network does everything you need for online. If you want system wide implementation of voice chat then lol.

If you want cloud account systems then sure,. BUT THAT ISNT AN ONLINE INFRASTRUCTURE. THATS A SERVER.
