Honestly while it's shitty for those people that did want it on Wii U you have to have seen this coming anyway.

The Wii U is very under powered compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, and come on, it's not like the game was going to sell well on the Wii U anyway. Every other third party game didn't sell too well on the Wii U so why would this one be any different.

Even if they were to take the time and resources to find a version they can get running on the Wii U, it wouldn't even be worth it for them in the end because it most likely was not going to make them a profit on the Wii U.

I'm sure that if the Wii U, despite being the weakest console of the 8th gen, was selling very well like the original Wii then the developers probably wouldn't mind having to downgrade since they would most likely still make a profit but it's a different situation for the Wii U because the Wii U isn't selling too well.

"The Wii U is very under powered compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, and come on, it's not like the game was going to sell well on the Wii U anyway. Every other third party game didn't sell too well on the Wii U so why would this one be any different."

three sentences, all bullshit.

"Even if they were to take the time and resources to find a version they can get running on the Wii U, it wouldn't even be worth it for them in the end because it most likely was not going to make them a profit on the Wii U"

Sure, it's not like the wii u version was on the original planning schedule but was magically cancelled after they got namco as a publisher, oh wait. it's also very stupid to say it wouldn't sell. in that case, I can say no game is going to sell on ps4 or x1 because of reasons and it would be an argument with just as much logic.


@ bolded: Care to explain why? The Wii U is a powerful console capable of producing beautiful looking games, but I don't see how you can say it's near PS4 or XB1 power level, because if it was I would imagine there would be a lot more third party games on it. I do however think it has a lot of untapped potential left in it though. 

Also if you look at any third party game on Wii U mostly all of them bombed and did not sell well. I mean, ZombiU was the premiere big third party title at launch and still has not even sold a million. If there is a history so far of Wii U third party games not selling well, why should the Project Car developers assume that theirs would be any different? I'm not saying this means no developers should try, but just simply saying that I don't see why they should expect it to do very well. If they were to get lucky it maybe could have sold semi-decent numbers.
