So? Again, power isnt why 3rd party games flopped on Wii U. It still has double the memory of 7th gen machines and those have solid ports of 8th gen games.

I wish Nintendo read my memo, "the tablet is stupid, make it optional so the console is cheap." Now thats great advice.


"More power doesent get great 3rd party support"

Third party just cut off the 360/PS3 quicker than they did last gen. Power was the issue. 

Nope, PS360 is getting cut off because declining sales. Not power. Hence, if sales are good they keep making ports.

Wii U never had good sales for core 3rd party games so they got cut off quickly.

OG Xbox sold modestly so sofware support wasnt great after 360 launched.

PS2 did huge numbers and continued getting support well into the life of PS3. However, PS2 is a console we can look at and say it didn't get a lot of ports because it had shit specs. PS360 and Wii U can actually handle most 8th gen games with scaled back visuals. From my memory, not many games designed for PS360 came to PS2.

CoD kept coming to Wii because it did pretty good there. CoD didnt last long on Wii U solely due to abysmal numbers, not power.
