If Watchdogs fails, third parties are done with Wii U. |
Seriously, you don't get to decide if you're done with third party on a Nintendo console, the third parties decide if you're worth bothering with and most of them are questioning whether you're worth their time, largely because we, as a collective, never give them a chance. Look at the N64 and Gamecube sales, (Wii is hard to compare), Nintendo console owners buy first party and ONLY first party. If Watch_Dogs doesn't see at least comparable sales on Wii U as on other systems based on user base; (ie. similar sales to the PS4/Xbone, or approx 15% of the sale on Xbox 360/PS3), you can expect to see third parties disreguarding the Wii U entirely as nothing more than "another Dreamcast" and that will be a major shame.

Yeah, and I see several third party titles that sold well, especially on the N64.
If Nintendo owners didn't buy third party titles at all (specifically on the N64 and Gamecube), then games like Resident Evil, Sonic, Star Wars, Turok and so forth don't excist.

Resident Evil was ported to everything that would have it and has PS2 to thank for it's success. Sonic wasn't on the N64 and the games that appeared on Gamecube we're also on either Dreamcast or PS2, Star Wars moved wholesale to Xbox so clearly Gamecube wasn't good enough, and Turok hasn't be relevent... ever.
If it wasn't made by either Nintendo or Rare it didn't matter on N64, and on Gamecube nothing third party sold even half as well as it should except Soul Caliber, and even then it only sold well because Link was in it.
