That is a bold face lie by them. You want to know the real reason why the Wii-U is struggling so hard to attract these huge third party publishers? It's because they can't release half games for full price and sell the other half via DLC due to Nintendo only throwing 32GB in the system. It's the same reason EA left. They wanted to screw people over with their microtransaction bullshit and cram Orgin down their throats. Nintendo doesn't allow for that sort of thing by choice, or design.
In a way, this is exposing the truth about modern AAA publishers. It's letting us see who's who. There use to be a time when the line of thinking was "come up with great original idea, make great game with as much content as humanly possible to entertain the gamer, profit". Now it's mostly "create product, market product, make as much profit as possible from product, repeat". The game industry has become the movie industry now.
It's basically Nintendo and indie devs that still do it the old way, the RIGHT way. Unfortunately, greed is taking over.
