That makes no sense at all. all that would have done was piss more people off. If anything they should focus on PC version cause that is where the fanbase is at for this game. Lets not kid ourselves, this aint COD, no one is buying WIi U for this game. Everything else was on the money, THQ is just hurting right now. 

i bolded the statements that qualify as excuses for you.   ...might help you spot the irony.

oni, i never said anything about delaying the pc version. Just the ps360 version. And like i said, it may gaing ALOT of sales for not being call of duty, but for being the only option there is for a shooter for there new system. That's the angle. A simul release of the pc and wii-u is what i think would be in there best interest. (if the launch closely co-incides with the wii-u launch), but again it's just my opinion and now the explanation behind said opinion.

so let me get this straight, delay the versions which will have a much bigger install base will benefit them how?? It wont benefit thema AT ALL, that doesnt make any sense. The only ont that will benefit is Ninty and their zeolots who can say haha we have the game first. They can still realease all versions at once and the Wii U version will still be the only option for the new system

That's dissapointing, I'd be okay with just a cheap dirty port with tacked on gamepad features.

oni, oni. don't get so excited. Sorry for the late reply but... Like i said it comes down to the timing of oppurtunity. Make it one of the only shooter choices and the millions of people that buy the wii-u will buy it because there's nothing else there (cept maybe black ops2. Not sure that was known when we 1st started discussing this). They might be able to rake in alot of cash and and when they have time to release it on ps360 i'm SURE that the core fans will still be there waiting on those systems. I highly doubt they're going to go out and by a wii-u just for Metro. It's just not that big a game. By taking this gamble they might be ablt to rake in alot of cash. It would suck for the core fans yes, but i say go for it from a business standpoint. But i guess that's ez to say when it's not actually my money:) And by the way, these "zealots" you speak of have nooooooooo idea that these games exsist, so im sure they will not be teasing other system owners. Now that you mention it i don't find nintendo fans to be snide in general. They seem to get more hate than they give. Ha, in the video game society it seems like they are the poor nerds that the jocks and rich kids pick on. :)

I don't see why anyone would be disappointed, Just get it on another platform, surely if your on a gaming forum you have at least one of the 3 platforms that can run it (PC,PS3,360) and if not a ps3 or xbox is pretty cheap and has a massive library of games.

another late reply.

Metro had next to no hype surrounding it. Word of mouth and especially the trailer for the sequel at E3 left many speechless and helped a lot to improve awareness among gamers. Believe me the sequel is going to fare much much better.

I was really looking forward to this on WiiU
