Nintendo fans say DLC is a shit pratice them complain about lack of DLC, check.

TLOUR is a year late port of a game on the same platform holder and sold 2M, check.

GTA V is a more than 12m old port that anyone in last gen and for a doubledip isn't much different than last gen and computer will get a better version, check. Same for tomb raider. All of them full priced, check.

Bayoneta 2 is considered a sucess on WiiU by selling less than 500k, check.

AC and Destiny sells on the 5-10M window. WD as well, check.

If game launched along other versions it would still be inferior and people would still buy in other systems if they had them. 6m later don't change that only exclusive WiiU owners would buy it on WiiU, so what is the Point of all this Ubisoft is at fault when we know it would sell the same anyway?

About the 3rd parties should cater to Nintendo fans to sell well (350k it seems) on WiiU and lose 5M on other platforms, does it even makes sense?

so wrong. you're downplaying the wii u base (350k, really?). and how exactly would developers lose their sales on other platforms (far less than 5m for 99% of the games)?

Am I seeing what wrong? People are claiming Bayoneta is a sucess by selling 350k (by vgc wrong numbers)  so were is the downplay? How they would lose? If they make WD game they sell like 5-10M on all non-nintendo platforms plus 100-200k on WiiU. By making a game that meets all the sucessfull criteria on WiiU selling 350k on Bayo and some better on ZombiU that se know won't end up selling much more than 2M combined (500k-1M os more likely) on the others don't seem like a loss to you? 5.1-10.2M seems more than 2.35M doesn't matter what (and if WiiU were main platform and dev would focus on gamepad and not invest on graphics we know final numbers would be quite lower.
