Let's look at the numbers, about 600,000 copies sold on the 3DS.  The overlap between people who bought the 3DS, RE:R & the Wii U might be 50%.  That would be 300,000 people or 10% of the Wii U's 3 million console install base (by the time the game releases).  Many Wii U owners will eat this up as it's the first real Resident Evil on a Nintendo home console since RE4 & there aren't many other games with the same audience in mind crowding this game on the Wii U's release schedual (if any).

The PS360 have been flooded with substandard Resident Evil games over the last year and the brand has been weakened on those consoles.

Well I presume it came to consoles because the 3DS version didn't do very well. So why put it on another handheld platform where it'll likely not do well?

Maybe it'll eventually be ported when the Vita gets a respectable userbase.

lol

I remember when the 3DS version came out and some people were like " I'm gonna wait for the inevitable Vita version because Capcom love money."

Now it's being ported to everything except Vita. >_<

You have it all wrong. Resident Evil games have a much higher fanbase on PS3/360 therefore the game will sell more. It won't sell anywhere near the mainline games though. The market for a Resident Evil game isn't very big right now on Wii U. All we can look at is Zombi U and that sold 300k. I expect Resident Evil to sell much less.

If anything the potential for a Vita version to sell is much higher than that of the 3DS even with the much lower install base. 

And you have the PS Vita being the only platform where gamers are actually waiting for this game, if only to get a better version than the 3DS to prove a point.

I can easily see the sales on Vita being better than on the 3DS LT considering how AC, CoD and Persona are selling, should it remain a handheld exclusive. Releasing the game everywhere changer the situation, but I think that 400-500k in a years time is a given and let's face it, the port to Vita will cost way, way less. I'm pissed at them, I really am. I am also sure the Vita port would sell better than the Wii U port.

yea that is odd, that offically makes it the only system to not have the game. I'm not a doom and gloom kinda person, but, wow, no vita love

Snagging the Wii U version, I never got the game on 3DS because I can't play that damn thing longer than 15 minutes without hand cramps. I'm going to get an XL model...eventually

thats great news i like the RE franshise and played all the main ones on consoles i would of defiantly missed out on this if it stayed on ds,  judging by those who played it say its good

to those who hated re5 and 6 aswell as capcom should go and purchase this if they want any hope of re7 going back to survival horror, as to me it looks like this current move is to test out the direction of re7 since capcom wasnt satisfied with re6 sales

I'll probably buy this again. Best RE to come out in years.
