Safe To Say 3rd Party Support From Wii U Is Pretty Much Gone?

The shit people make up just to justify that the Wii U isn't getting any third party support is ridiculous sometimes.

Third parties aren't afraid of the Wii U becoming a success, what would they be afraid of? "Oh shit now we have one more system we might be able to viably sell our games on, what now?" lol

And the Wii wasn't supported because it was underpowered and unconventional in its control scheme, most developers couldn't be arsed to make a version of their games on way weaker hardware that also had to support motion controls, just for it to sell only a couple 100k if at all, cause even back then Wii owners hardly bought the same games that 360/PS3 owners bought.

The industry believes that the most profitable path for them is one that excludes Nintendo consoles. They don't want Nintendo making consoles, otherwise there wouldn't be all the "Nintendo would be better off as a third party" propaganda being constantly shoved out by the gaming industry media. If they wanted strong Nintendo consoles, why the propaganda?

You're dead wrong about the Wii. Almost to the point of a gish gallop fallacy. All developers had to do was to use their Gamecube development kits, and they could have churned out software INCREDIBLY cheaply. That is even what Iwata recommended third parties to to. Instead companies WENT BANKRUPT left and right throwing all their resources at expensive HD development.

Resident Evil 4 sold TONS on the Wii. Call of Duty 3 outsold the PS3 version. Suda 51 threw a party because of No More Heroes sales. Then the unfair industry treatment of the Wii started to shape gamer biases and the audience changed.

Lol yeah, senseless conspiracy bullshit whoop whoop. Tell me what would the industry gain from Nintendo stopping to make consoles? Think about that for one freaking second, you do realize that even if 3rd parties were afraid of Nintendo they would gain nothing from them becoming 3rd party developers themselves? Cause surprise surprise, then 3rd parties would have to compete with Nintendo on every platform and couldn't just avoid the one where Nintendo is exclusively publishing its games on.

And wow all developers had to do was use their development kits from 6th gen, great. And the Gamecube wasn't a way weaker platform than the PS3/360 or PCs at that time? What point are you even trying to make here, that third parties should have ignored the PS3/360 instead of the Wii? How moronic would that have been?

Finally you can give me 3 games of which 2 sold over 2 million and one sold 500k on a 100 million installbase overall, well fuck me that's awesome.  Let's just ignore that every release after CoD 3 sold worse and worse on the system, while the exact opposite happened on the PS3/360, or that Resident Evil 4 was at one point a Gamecube exclusive, which has probably had an effect on the Wii sales, or that for most games 500k is really not that much.

Let's just act as if the industry is afraid of Nintendo and thus doesn't support it, no matter how little sense that actually makes.
