So when we ask it's port begging but when Nintendo asks for multiplats to be released on their System then the 3rd parties are unfair?


Asking for Bayonetta 2 port on other consoles is like asking a company to give its secret formula to the competition.

Asking for multiplats to be released on a system it's not on is like asking for a popular product available at other distributors to be available at a distributor closer to you.

They are very different things.

Still not seeing the difference. It's both about money.

Nintendo is not releasing the IP on multiple platforms because it would lose WiiU sales. 3rd prty publishers don't release on WiiU because they would lose money.

Wrong on both.

Nintendo is paying for exclusivity, there is no "releasing on others" option.

Third parties don't release on wii u because are stupid or maybe are getting money from sony or MS for that.

Seriously Zero? Go look at the sales for 3rd party titles on WiiU and give me one good reason they should continue to develop for a platform with no viable returns. If WiiU owners don't buy 3rd party games, then they're not going to get 3rd party games. Publishers aren't avoiding the WiiU because they're "stupid" or because they hate Nintendo, it's simply a smarter business option to focus on the platforms where they generate more revenue. Most publishers gave the WiiU a chance last year, yet it completely backfired. COD Ghosts' sales on WiiU only accounted for 0.3% of the total revenue. Not even one percent of sales from that game came from the WiiU.

Stop blaming 3rd parties for not putting games on WiiU. Blame the WiiU owners for not buying games when they get it. 


Why buy it on Wii U when it gets full support elsewhere? I wanted Call of Duty Ghosts on it (got BO2 on it) and it is never in stock at most stores.
