Majority of games that appeal to that "core" gamer market come from 3rd party and are multi-platform. Many of these are already absent from Wii U, and as support for PS3/X360 ports gets less, the Wii U will have even less chance of getting the ports of 8th gen developed games. That will leave just Wii U exclusives, and without a sizeable install base the 3rd parties wont bother with anything other than cheap games, and Nintendo alone cannot make enough and certainly not servicing a wide taste of gamers. |
Nintendo really seems to have missed a grand opportunity to capture the core and casual market with its 8th gen system. If they had made and marketed their system similar to the others, their supperior 1st party content could have been the deciding factor. As it stands, they could be battling with XBOne for leftovers.
