Will Third Parties Return to Wii U If It Sells or Reaches 12 Million by 2015?

Wii sold 100 million+ and 3rd parties hardly cared.

sure they did, you didnt see all the dance, fitness, the Bachelor games on the shelves?

Hence my point.

elaborate. are you suggesting that no support is better than some support? Fact is alot of those games did sell well, so someone cared about them especailly considering they were so cheap to make

I am not suggesting that. Obviously Wii's 3rd party support was infinitely superior to Wii U's (but mainly because Wii U's 3rd party support is virtually nonexsistent).

Very few exceptions aside (there were some excellent 3rd party titles), everyone knows that apart from the minigame collections, partygames, and fitness/sports games, Wii got very little in the way of actual meaningful 3rd party support. The deviating titles it did get were overwhelmingly niche, spinoffs, experimental throwaways, or simply badly designed and/or rushed. Even the big-name franchises that did appear were relegated to B-teams with low budgets - resulting in games like Dead Space Extraction, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, the original Red Steel, Raving Rabbids, Final Fantasy the Crystal Bearers, Castlevania Judgment, etc. ad infinitum.

This is all well-known and has been discussed to death everywhere though, so trying to deny it in any way is rather silly. Again, it was definitely better than Wii U, but as they say, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
