When you get a port on PS4 or Xbox one it can often be hugely upgraded, higher res, improved textures, higher or more consistent frame rate, often they chuck in more content, original DLC etc. It gets to be a very appealing package and the price is often quite competitive and if not drops rapidly anyway.

The wii u got a lot of ports which were actually inferior to ps3 and 360 they were often awful versions with many problems and compared to ps4 and xbone versions were utterly pathetic. Hence often these versions sold in tiny numbers and were a huge indicator of how poor the wii u console was.

Great point. Who really wanted to play an old military shooter like Call of Duty Ghosts or a Gearbox game like Colonial Marines on WiiU? People were interested in evergreen IPs like Mario Kart and new experiences built from the ground up on WiiU like Splatoon. It's not like AAA games are the only ones that count, right? Call of Duty and Borderands didn't help Vita, that's for sure. Nintendo should really try to appeal to the folks whose gaming needs aren't being met by PS4 and XOne. It shouldn't try to be the light beer of AAA gaming.

those were terrible terrible versions of those games. ANd some how COD did actually sell ok and boost the vita for a bit
