Tomb Raider is NOT AAA.  But anyway, a developer not trying to maxamize their sales....what is new, this is why the industry has been declining for so long.

Well can you blame them? It's a Nintendo console. Everybody knows 3rd party devs are not supposed to support those! It's the law.

Funny how all of their excuses end up making them look incompetent

maximizing sales is not a problem, everyone can do that.

 

maximizing profit is the key, and if you believe your sales for a certain system is not going to offset the cost for the port you will just not do it.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Observation: The same people who are commending SE for making a smart business decision by not bringing Tomb Raider to Wii U were crying their little eyes out when Revelations was not announced for PSV because it was oh so unfair and didn't make any sense. Oh, the hypocrisy.

I agree, it wouldn't make much sense to release Tomb Raider on Wii U because the game will bomb either way, being shoved between Bioshock, 2 GoW's, GTA, TLOU and all the other stuff that's coming march-may that I don't remember.

I'm pretty sure the AAA SE port for Wii U will either be Kingdom Hearts 1.5 or Lightning Returns which will make me very sad as I am not interested in any of those games. Still keeping my hopes up for Thief 4 though.


Got proof? Name names otherwise you're just talking out your ass.

I wonder what they would put in the Wii-U version....if it does come out I just hope it isnt JUST a better looking port.
I wouldnt mind getting it....maybe....again...even though I got the PS3 ver for $14.99 new copy.....>.>




All I would need is a Combo pack of FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and that one Lightning game and I would be sold.



there will never be a 13-trilogy on WiiU, there could be a 13&13-2 on the same disk i think that would be good value at full price



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

Kind of like the classic "You can't compete against Nintendo in their own genres".
