Why do Wii U Owners Not Buy 3rd Party Games?

Most cause the wiiU doesn't get the same treatment as other consoles when it comes to third party like lack of dlc, frame rate issues and etc

But overall, its mainly cause I like playing it on PC rather than consoles (all consoles, not just wiiU)

This!

Also most third party devs/publishers devalue their own products way to fast.  And they have what I call "assembly-line-developing". You know make alot of games as fast as you can without polishing and when they are "good enough" release them.... repeat. (also DLC etc)

Rockstar does not do that. Valve does not do that and Nintendo does not do that and thats why their games usually are better. Blizzard used to be one of them but you know Activision etc......

What do you think most devs/publishers financial situation would look like if they all started implementing Rockstar/Valve/Nintendo-like development cycles. It sucks but most of the Industry couldn't survive on that.

I can tell you what would happen.

This would happen:


Devs would focus on the actual games instead of using all manpower to make things more visually impressive using effects. Most of the money is wasted on visuals that will look like shit in a year or two anyway well and on marketing to promote that "visuals only" product. When the game is good it will work without maketing (Dark Souls)

You know what? I can buy PacificRim for 5 bucks on bluray and have 2hours of entertainment with better visuals than I get from 10  4h games that costs 60 bucks that try to look realistic/impressive together.

There is a reason why I decided to play games and that reason is not mediocre games with great visuals.

So again making actual games with focus on whats important and then adding sufficient visuals will be the result in taking time.
