I disagree with everything you say including the very essence of this thread.

" Nintendo wouldn't get all multiplatform games, even if their system was equal to others"

How could you possibly know this? The Wii and Wii U are/were both a generation behind. The Gamecube was "equal" and got great 3rd party support even though it sold terribly.

"It has everything to do with point 1"

No it doesn't. Who plays Dark Souls? It is common knowledge that the demographic that plays these kind of games have (largely) long abandoned Nintendo consoles. No one would buy Dark Souls on Wii U - I don't see how you could offer even a shred of evidence to the opposite.

(...)

Sorry for cutting your response off, but you were off to a bad start with the above.

First you try to refute my assertion that an equal Nintendo system wouldn't get all multiplatform games and then you immediately turn around to talk about a game that proves my assertion right. How could you not notice such a glaring contradiction?


Once again I assert that I disagree entirely with your logical methodology. 

"First you try to refute my assertion that an equal Nintendo system wouldn't get all (some) multiplatform games "

Indeed. That is what I am saying.

" then you immediately turn around to talk about a game that proves my assertion right"

The development of a software ecosystem is NOT INSTANTANEOUS. Fanbases migrate over years and generations and new human beings take up gaming. Nintendo's practices over MANY YEARS has bearing on my statement - NOT the fact that their latest console is (in some ways) on par with the previous generation of consoles  that this game appears on.

There is no market RIGHT NOW for Dark Souls on Wii U due to what Nintendo did with the Wii and the Wii U. 

If their target market was different and their goal for their consoles were different then that fact could have been different.

I do not appreciate your lack of common sense in this regard. The worst part of it that I cannot ascertain whether you make your statements with conviction or simply to be the village clown.
