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

IMHO i think that is VERY unlikely. The WIi U has been around long enough to say that simply wont happen or we would have seen the effects already. Bayo is not going to do much but to be honest that genre isnt that popular period. Hell the irony is the most popular game in that particular genre is God of War a Sony exclusive not even made by a Japanese dev. X looks good but Jrpgs lost their relevance some time ago unless your name is Final Fantasy and maybe Dragon Quest.

What's your opinion on ZombiU, and to a lesser extent W101 and Lego City Stories,  by the way?

As for effects we would see, what are you refering to (the topic is a hypothetical, I'm not sure how we'd see the effects on something that hasn't happened)?

I think they have terrible sales. its quite jarring. Especially since 2 of those games had bundles, how much less would they have sold without it i wonder. Esepcially in the case of Lego where the much inferior and much less advertised 3ds version sold more.

Even if they some how come back, it wont make much of a difference. I thought at first thats all they needed. But lets look at last years COD and AC games. THey sold terrible on Wii U but great on PS4 and One. Which is kinda sad since those were launch consoles with pratically no userbase. Hell you cant even say there wasnt an established base on Wii U since it had previous versions of those series. I would be surprised if they can even catch AC3 or CODBLOPS2 numbers.
