Consider yourself lucky that you haven't been here for the Wii U reveal. For years people had said that Nintendo needs to get ports of the big multiplatform games in order to be a respectable console manufacturer, then when Nintendo said that they are going to get them, the entire thing turned into "LOL why would anyone buy a Nintendo console to play games that they can get on PlayStation and Xbox". Now that the Wii U has failed, conventional wisdom has returned to "Nintendo needs to get multiplatform games on their system".

The amount of manipulation in this post is mindblowing. Just to set this straight - yes, Nintendo said they were going to get multiplat games, but that's all they ever did. It was only Reggie's words during the unveiling on their part, not a single action to back it up. They said they want multiplats and manufactured Wii U - an underpowered console not capable of running them the way they are designed to run. They didn't even try, so not a single thing has turned and later returned at any point. Seriously, you can't count Wii U as a valid attempt to get multiplats and expect to be treated seriously.
