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. 

we both know that's not true, so why do you insist?

NO, most punlishers didn't give a chance last year.

Games like AC4, COD Ghosts, and Arkham Origins all released at the same time as other competitors. How is this not giving WiiU a chance?

EVEN half assed versions without marketing made a profit.

How do you know they made a profit? The fact that publishers are avoiding the WiiU more and more tells me they're not making much money off the console. And why are you complaining about marketing. If Nintendo wants 3rd party publishers to market their games for WiiU then they need to make a deal for it. Like Sony did with Assassins Creed 4, or Microsoft with Call of Duty. Once again you're blaming everybody BUT Nintendo. 

you also ignore the titles that sell on par or better than the other versions.

Which ones? Rayman Legends did better than the 360 version but still did worse than the PS3 one, which is astounding considering it was originally a WiiU exclusive. A majority of 3rd party games sell better on other platforms, I'm not sure why you can't accept this, it's common sense. Look at the WiiU sales for pretty much any major 3rd party release in 2013 and compare it to the other versions. Even kid friendly games like Skylanders Swap Force did far better on the PS3/360. 

You're basically cherrypicking and distorting things.

Well I can't say you're cherrypicking considering you haven't actually shown me a single piece of evidence supporting your claims. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
