Ubisoft Explains Why Assassin's Creed Unity Is Skipping Wii U

WiiU is next/current gen enough in my book. It's exclusives are completely on par with modern developments that don't have to deal with a heavy CPU load ie those which just make games more expensive to make and not more fun. And it's games are the prettiest you can find despite the inferior specs. Stop with this last gen nonsense. I don't remember people calling the Wii last gen.

You're joking, aren't you? You don't remember people laughing Wii is just two Gamecubes duck-taped together? I know people stopped laughing at Wii when it died and it was already long, long ago, but let's be serious here. Many people (both gamers and developers) were considering Wii previous-gen, just like they are considering Wii U previous gen now. Probably even more were doing it back then, since now most people don't care about the Wii U enough to even laugh at it. And let's face it - there are reasons to justify such views. Both systems were/are painfully outdated.

 

I think what Ubi said is ok and perfectly true. I know it's painful for Nintendo fans, but we have to face the music. The Wii U environment as a whole is shitty in comparison to the competition. The console is outdated, it has a different architecture, it's not selling and games aren't selling either. It can't run current gen games the way they are designed to play and on top of it, it doesn't print money. It has absolutely nothing going for it. There is no reason for 3rd parties to keep on wasting money on Wii U. It's just a bad product. I though so the moment I saw its unveiling, but even I didn't expect it to fail this hard.
