| Nuvendil said: Uh...launch exclusives being baren is pretty common lately. 3DS, Wii U, Xbone, PS4, all had launch lineups that were just "OK". I think though it's more about compression. The Wii U's first year had a lot of droughts. By cutting a couple months off of the NX's first year and building up some games before launch should allow for a greater density of games in 2017. And it's not like they're development issues this gen have been THAT bad, they just have no 3rd party support of any kind so when they don't make games the Wii U has a big load of nothing to substitute. |
That's where I would strongly disagree and 3rd parties skipping the WII U is not an excuse for Nintendo's poor output since they have much better things to do than to wait for the WII U to get some market share ...
Nintendo's line up for the WII U over the years has been nothing short of what one would describe as "sparse". WII U owners will own 3 games less than the Gamecube owners despite having the latter being the bigger install base ...
Nintendo is not even supposed to be struggling as much as the rest of the industry when most of the technical groundwork was already laid out for them ...
