You continually miss the point of what I have said @.@ 

Point 1: The Publishers have dug their own hole. It doesn't matter who suffers more from it, it is not the consumer's job to dig them out of that hole.
Point 2: That hole can be filled by Publishers, if they put in an equal effort more than once. This will have long term benefits for everyone, although the short term results will likely be mixed. 

You keep focusing on the short term and the past (and blaming the consumer for some reason), while I am talking about what publishers should do for a better future. 

I think you are making the wrong points because you are focusing just in the job of the publishers and not in the customers also...

1: The publishers did not dug that hole alone, the customers help them, and they will not get out of it if we don't help them also.

2: It cannot be filled by the publishers alone, the few times they had put equal effort they had been rewarded with lackluster sales and all the publishers will not put the same amount of effort without some glimmer of hope or an extended hand from the customers, they are not the enemy. They will not lose money to try to create some mystical environment if they don't see signs that we want that environment

You keep focusing in a long term that may never come if we don't help to fix the problems in the present, and I am not putting all the blame on the customers just in the few cases when we have dropped the ball precisely when they reached out to us with a good game and we just "do not care" because some imaginary and usually stupid reason.

It is a complex issue but if we don't work together with them, the ones who will suffer the most is not going to be them who are actually making more money on the other consoles, is the customer who will have to spend more money and get more consoles to play a good variety of games, and also the platform holder that will lose the licensing fees and as Nintendo fans we should be at least concern about it.

I think Watch_dogs is a perfect oportunity to prove that we want those games, the title may have some flaws and it is arriving late, does it means that is a bad game? does it means that the developer or publishers did not made an effort to finish a game that by all current numbers should be just cancelled? No, they are making an effort and that should be appreciated, so next time when they are thinking about porting another game they feel motivated to create a Wii U version too, and hopefully they would even considering putting additional efforts if they see that it could result in more sales.
