Well then, I hope you're right.
If Nintendo is able to attract a lucrative userbase with games like X, Zelda, Smash and Mario Kart, I see little reason why 3rd parties shouldn't jump in.
But to that, may I recall the N64?
I would like to hope, but I think it's a lost cause with 3rd parties honestly.
It seems like reality always bites us Nintendo fans in the tucuss, because we reason, if Nintendo can sell games to teens, why can't 3rd parties. And then 3rd parties end up making little money on Nintendo's consoles and we continue to wonder why.

but see thats the thing right there, they CANT. the WIi U is already tracking below GC and N64, those are systems that did 20mil and 30+ those, whatever Wii U is doing now clearly ISNT lucrative otherwise 3rd parties would be supporting it. n64 didnt get great 3rd party support, it missed a LOT of games and the games it did get were late ports. Its a numbers game if a system isnt selling well and its a pain in the butt to dev for, it wont get support. Hell Vita isnt falling into games either.

So, you're saying (and I'm trying to follow you here) that if the U starts selling, that it will neither get the dance/party games (which you referred to as compilations), and will not either get core games (not necessarily games that demand next gen graphics but games like Red Steel or Okami)?
So they'll get no 3rd party support if the U is successful?

no, im saying its not and will not get third party support because its NOT successful. Now if you think it will turn it around, thats your opinion Its been 18 months and still tracking below GC so im just gonna say the failed. IF they can someone do better than n64 numbers it will get support.
