That we are but what about the people that only want one console? Having a ps4/x1 or ps3/360 would have given you majority of the popular multiplats out there. Having a wiiU wouldn't. If Nintendo invested on third party ports, then more people would be more inclined to look at the wiiU compared to it not having those big multiplats. Why? Cause the wiiU has one unique thing that the other consoles doesn't and that is Nintendo games.

Similar situation with the switch with the added functionality of being able to take your games anywhere. Yea it will look worse but being able to play the big third party games anywhere as well as being able to play Nintendo games is a big benefit (as long as it has those games) even if it sacrafices graphics because people do like Nintendo games. Its just I think most people would rather have Nintendo games + big third party games than Nintendo games and niche third party games.

And of course, its not like Nintendo can't invest on those niche games after the console has started being a success... Cause that is when they will have loads of money to throw around which will be enough to cover both niche and popular games.

Well if you only get one console, then you miss out on the exclusives on other consoles. Nintendo cant keep paying for every big multi platform title and getting only a few wont help them anyway. They had COD, AC and Batman on WiiU, but that did fuck all. Sure it would be cool to have the big games on the go, but that is up to every publisher to decide. Im sure Bayonetta 2 did more for the WiiU than any big AAA port did.

Yes but that is what a lot of people do... Not everyone can afford all 3 consoles and it shows by the sales numbers. Most people just want one console that has a great mix of exclusives and third party games. And yes, they can't keep on paying for every big multiplatform title but they can pay for the ones that people really want + aren't likely to come. We have had AssCreed, Cod and etc in the past so they don't need to pay for those, they just need to pay for the zomg ones like RDR2 and it has to be a simultanous launch of course. Also that depending on how well the games sell which they should sell well, they shouldn't need to continue to pay. We have had many publishers say "we will wait and see" because they want to see how the Switch sells first before putting in the effort. If Nintendo pays them and get the Switch to sell a lot, then the publishers will port the games anyway cause there is money to be made.

The other issue is that those ports were late ports with some of them missing dlc and what not. The games that were being ported, maybe except COD, everyone has already played on other consoles before it went on the wiiU. Why would people buy a game that they already played a while ago, just on a different console and the upgraded visuals aren't that noticable? Oh and some of them with missing content and performance hiccups. And then of course, you had that with all the other third parties saying their games wont be on the wiiU and it's pretty easy to see where the market confidence with the third party support went.
