No wonder a lot of people are likely just getting a 3DS and saying "this is good enough for my Nintendo fix". Every Nintendo franchise is on the 3DS and it plays just fine. |
Well, Sony came out with a slew of entirely new IPs for the Playstation Vita that don't exist on consoles. Guess what games sold the best? Games from established IPs (mostly from consoles). The massive power gap between the 3DS and the WIi U along with the difference in which games are presented make 3DS games a fair bit different than Wii U games. Games like PIkmin 3 feel much more at-home on a console while games like Pokemon X/Y and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds are better adapted to handhelds. This is actually part of the mistake that the PSV makes by aiming to be a "console in your hands" and having games engineered to be presented as such. The Wii U's problems lie elsewhere: in the system's design, older architecture (not x86), lacking multiple features, etc. if there are any problems with how they allocate their games, it's that they have a number of handles/console entries that are too similar (SM3DL + SM3DW, MK7 + MK8, Smash for 3DS and Wii U): games that do not demonstrate NIntendo's ability to optimize the design of their games for handhelds and consoles separately.
