Yes I forgot but I so want that to be true because I just love games.

Agreed about the first part except the underlined bolded.

The reason being when PS3 and 360 launched, the install base was small. One of the reasons those install bases grew to the size they are is because of the 3rd party support early on.

3rd parties are important in generating hardware sales. They cannot just wait and expect 1st party games to sell the hardware. It only creates bad feeling between the console owners and the studios.

Agreed.

The funny thing is, if Nintendo ever decided to get real serious and used those profits they made form Wii, they could have a very stronghold on the gaming industry right now. They need to realise that most great 3rd party devs will not  develope fo rtheir consoles every generation has proved that time and time again.

They need to buy out more studios and poach people to create new studios for the mature rated original IP games the consoles lacks (i.e your killzones, uncharted, halos, etc..)

I made my contribution. It shouldn't really matter how well multiplats sell on wii u right now. Zombi u performed better so that is the key. It means there are signs when the exclusives sell better. As multiplats get on there day and date they will sell better then coming late. Even if those developers jump ship wii u will always have capcom, namco, konami etc to back it up if the worst comes to the worst.

You note that it is only if it happens yourself. People thought it was a safe bet banking on ps3. Ps1 and ps2 made a killing. What can go wrong? You can place a bet that consumers will go to the others but you have no way of truly telling. Right now I would be far more concerned for the vita. Considering sony platforms are such a safe bet and it is targeted at the call of duty audience it should make a serious killing. It didn't happen. Even playstation all stars which someone claims sold a diabolical 8000 units.

The confidence in sony at least is fading. Its pretty obvious.

I guess the reason is that publishers already decided that core games don't sell on the Wii U.

Sorry I can't help it. I think we're all entitled to a little fling of sillyness every now and then.

Your point is moot because no matter how powerful the Nintendo console was, there still woudln't be good support. There are various reasons for it but the only way this will change if Nintendo does something about it.

If Wii U were more powerful, it would get multiplats with PS4/720.

Just like the gamecube did or the n64? Sure it got some initially but that support quickly vanished mid cycle.

N64 did not have an optical drive and the gamecube got support but when there were not enough sales for those games, the support went away. Do you think that would have happened to a more powerful wii u too?

Would it though? Epic said they would be on nintendo the second they release a system that can run their engine. So where are they? What you guys need to realize is your taking that quote by Reggie and spinning it. Power alone will not persuade developers to jump towards the others. Not if nobody buys them. Everything starts over now.

Its a fair trade. The wii u has cheaper dev costs and similar architecture to ps3 and 360. That means ease of development and expirience could go in wii u's favor. Ps4 and 360 2 will be built to run new engines and be different with far higher development costs. So which is really the safest bet here? The cost of development on those systems will no doubt effect game prices so that already puts this in wii u's favor.
