Nah they're not. There are 6m WiiU's out there sold because of Nintendo franchises like DK, Mario, Zelda and others. Hence games like AC and COD (the big third party hitters) reach a mere 300k. What do you think and extra 1m/1.5m consoles sold primarily to people that again like Nintendo franchises is going to do to the sales of AC ect?? |
Well they have a mostly finished WiiU game, at this point they can recover some costs by putting the WiiU version out in the wild, even if it is late.
There's a chance WiiU becomes the console-du-jour when you have MK8, Bayo 2, X and Smash out in roughly the same timeframe. That could mean far more than just 1 million new folks in the userbase. That could bode well for the Wii U version, better than if it were releasing alongside other versions IMO.
If the series gets popular and has legs, WiiU may be able to carve out it's own niche fanbase of the series.
If the Wii U didn't have releases later this year, they would have actually cancelled the game.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
