PS3 & 360 are both PowerPC, just like Wii U so that kinda throws your entire argument out of the window. Wii U is in the same power range as PS3/360 along while using the same architecture, so it shouldnt have been that hard to port games from them to Wii U. |
Got kinda mixed up in my thinking from 7th to 8th gen. So yeah, that much is true but my entire arguement isn't out the window, just the first paragraph. PS3 and 360 really shouldn't be referenced in a comparison to PS4, NX and Wii U to begin with. The fact of the matter today is that Nintendo is screwing over 3rd parties and it's been going on for some time. Games were still being ported to 360 and PS3 because the install base was firm, and 3rd parties that have sold on those consoles before have built a fanbase. Nobody bought Call of Duty on Wii, so why put forth the effort to port it to Wii U? I guess it has more to do with demographics than anything. Western 3rd parties are less likely to support Nintendo because well, Nintendo gamers aren't really inerested in that kind of content. But Japanese 3rd parties will band together and help support Nintendo if Nintendo allows it.
I still think there is a good reason behind why ports on Wii U from gen 7 turned out poor and few.
