Yeah, gamers have always read about which version is better. Does that mean the vast majority of gamers are reading that stuff? Nope. People on forums seem to forget we are not the average consumer.

Lego City was an exclusive so people who want to play it didn't have options outside of Wii U. Furthermore, a game like that obviously appeals to the Nintendo audience. What next? Are you gonna boast about Just Dance?

The Wii U is the actual fumble. 3rd parties didn't put much of a focus on Wii U because Nintendo failed to make people care about the Wii U. Nintendo has a lot of money I hear, perhaps they should have bought some ports to boost their userbase. In my opinion, Sony and MS are more involved with their 3rd party support because they care about that audience and Nintendo simply does not.

The kind of gamers who would buy those games are the kind who read that stuff.

And you're moving the goalposts. Exclusives still count. So do games that aren't drenched in blood and swearing.

Nintendo's mistakes don't dismiss the failure of third parties. It was still possible to sell; they just didn't manage to do so.

No... the average core gamers are not reading DF articles or other similar articles. Otherwise that type of content would have significalty more views. The masses do more reading of reviews than technical nuances.

I'm not moving any goalposts. 3rd parties aren't going to focus on making Wii U exclusives so you can boast about Wii U doing well at selling 3rd party games. Wii U needs to do well at moving multiplats to encourage support. That's what Xbox and Playstation do well and why they get great support.

Nintendo's mistakes are the primary reason 3rd parties moved away from Wii U. I mean 9 million units in 3 holiday seasons? That's pretty abysmal.
