Are third parties skipping Nintendo out of spite?

Hey Ry,

Let's not forget that it took a while to get on the 360, even longer for the PS3 (a few months ago). Both are very huge install bases. Wii is dead and Wii U is selling poorly for them to even bother but not sure why they skipped the 3DS though. Maybe because very few 3rd party games sell well on Nintendo platforms.

Dead? It still has the largest install base. No longer produced because the Wii U does everything it does and dead are VERY different.

Install base doesn't mean anything when judging if a console is dead or not but the amount of software/hardware it sells. In the global top 75 on vgchartz there is only one wii game. To me that's dead. It was pretty much dying a year before the WiiU was released so no developer will want to develop for a console that doesn't shift games and on its way out. Couple that with the fact that not many 3rd party games sell well on Nintendo platforms.
