2) lol, what are we talking about? I mean the 3DS got ignored by most western devs but I didn't mention that platform in my post.... I don't know what aspect of my comment you're responding to with that?

3) And yes, many games skipped the wii, we have to revise history to beleive otherwise. Where was FFXIII/GTA/Mass Effect/Elderscrolls/Bioshock/Battlefield/Tekken/Red Dead Redemption, I could go on... pick any year and most PS3/360 games skipped the Wii. No one said third parties skipped the Wii altogether. 

Also did you not notice how sporadic COD releases were on Wii. Treyach would support the system whilst Infinity Ward would not. Financially their games presented a similar financial reward on the platform but one was interested whilst the other was not. Business is more than just profit, it takes into account individual company behaviours and mentalities. 2 business' can see the same profit but due to corperate mentalities, one takes a different approach to the other. Despite the failing console market in Japan, FFXIII-2/LR/FFXV did not make their way to the 3DS, why not when its obvious "profit". Profit is not the only consideration, developers actually have specific ambitions and intentions with their games (its often publishers who act as the business arm and want to undermine developer goals in favour of profit)

But to go back to my point, the "business" we're talking about is based on technology and is effected by technology. Most PS4 games in their current form likely cannot run on the Switch without signficant (costly) optimsation, or at least far more than what is required for the same game to run on X1. Equally the Switch/Wii version may not stack up to the competitors version of the game, which makes it an unappealing purchase. Thus the technology is resonsible for making the business venture unappealing. So "Switch is too weak to run this game" can be the literal cause for the business decision. Business being a bottom line is a  generic, meaningless answer for everyone involved. why is it percieved as a bad business decision? Does it come back to tech? But I think we agree, I was adding an addendum to your commentary.

2) 3DS got a Tekken game.. Wii didn't. Are you trying to tell me that power was the reason Tekken did not come to Wii but came to 3DS? Come on with that bullshit. Your point is dead right there.

3) Yet you have no proof at all that power was the3 reason. I mean, Street Fighter IV skipped Wii but made its way to 3DS, so did DOA, a proper Resident Evil title, I could go on and on about games that found their way to 3DS but never made it to Wii. And if you think the reason is power, you are stupid, misguided, ignorant, or all of the above. Power is not what prevented certain games from coming to Wii... shit GTA III was on PS2 so a GTA game CERTAINLY could have run on Wii... there was no business for it. No market. No ends to justify the means. 

4) The fact that there were CoD releases on Wii at all proves my point. If there is business, there will be a game. End of Story. There was not enough business so the support was pulled. I know you want to pick and choose your argument because it would better suit you to ignore the fact that Wii was not, "skipped" or that power was the reason but... 3DS getting titles Wii could have gotten but didn't already prove POWER IS NOT THE ISSUE. And let me make this clear, even if you want to argue handhelds as a different medium, 3DS was still the weakest handheld... yet I see Monster Hunter on that console... hmmm... sure hurts your power as an argument. It isn't one. Period.

5) Lol. That may be the worst argument I have ever seen. As a matter of fact, that argument is so stupid, I will not even dignify it with my time and effort typing a proper reply. I cannot believe someone can be so silly on a message board for the whole world to see. I bet you were proud when you typed that big bunch of bullshit. Lol foh
