| spemanig said: But they aren't though. Most people don't buy a console for one game. They buy a console BECAUSE of one game, but they know that other games that appeal to them will be on that system. People who bought the Wii U for MK8 bought it knowing that Smash and other Mario games were coming out. They didn't buy it expecting COD and Battlefield for the next few years. The Wii u would have to match the ps4 and XBO darker output. It doesn't have the cred to only release some "mature" titles and get any of those gamers. They need enough to make the Wii U feel like a viable substitute. Right now, it's not even close. It doesn't need to match them title for title, but it would need enough to make those guys think that the Wii U is a viable alternative for those kind of games. Something like one big mature AAA IP per quarter, would be enough. |
No it doesn't need to match them; it only needs to provide some semblence of variety in its own right. People can buy a system for Metroid or a dark new IP and still enjoy Mario Kart et al. But having only light-hearted cartoon games gives the console an unattractive image in today's testosterone soaked market.
