the late port excuse is silly because games dont stop being good all of a sudden. Bioshock didnt stop being good because it came out a year later on PS3. Its the same game it was before. If you are a single console owner why does it matter that a game came out a year before on a system you dont have anyway?


So why would anyone pay full price for Watch Dogs on Wii U 9 months later when it's in bargain bins everywhere else? It's a valid excuse, just being a good game doesn't offset this it's that kind of thinking that encourages developers to try the things people dislike today like microtransactions, the game was released in the holiday season right next to Smash on top of this as well and people wonder why a version handled by its developer like an illigitimate from out the blue didn't sell. It's as comical as Ubisoft delaying and releasing Rayman next to GTAV, if I was a single platform owner I wouldn't buy it either and opt for Smash.

I dont see how a late port equates to microtransactions. What? those arent even close to the same thing. You are really reaching. You are ignoring things like timed exclusives, are maybe the HW just flat sucking and it needed more time to be worked on(which was pretty much the case for PS3 initially)

Why would you pay full price? cause you dont have a choice, its the only way to play that game if you REALLY wanted to play in the first place. Doesnt matter if its bargain on a system you dont have. either get that system. buy it when it comes to your system or not all. Hell you could even wait till your version its the bargain bin. Rayman and GTA dont even have the same kind of audience, lets not pretend Rayman was going to sell well it wasnt. It hasnt since the original which ironically was PS exclusive. YOu know what was dumb making it WIi U exclusive in the first place. I would have bought Smash too, but i would have got Watchdogs eventually if I wanted it, do people not have money can they only get one game at a time right at that time? hell could have bought it the next month. People just need to admit that really werent interested in the game in the first place. Its ok.
