That's not the same thing at all. Wii U would be a more attractive purchase if it had Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, etc. just like 3DS would be a more attractive purchase if it had Splatoon, Mario Maker, Xenoblade X, Pikmin, Bayonetta, Nintendo Land, etc. |
The point is if you can get all those on the one platform why would Nintendo fans buy both? I'd say about 10m Wii U owners by the end of the gen will also own 3DS. Why would they spend a fortune buying both. If they put all games on both straight away you're losing sales. On top of that people are moving away from dedicated handhelds to smartphones so there will be a lot more lost sales.
Bottom line is they won't succeed without 3Rd party support. Because Nintendo on their own will not grow gen over gen. They will decrease and their profits from consoles won't increase.
