bad logic, you waste time that could be used for making much more money, why waste months on a wii U version that's gonna sell 250k when you could be making an other game

Sorry to say but if you are really interested in getting alot of the big multi-platform games and you only want one system the Wii-U really isn't the right choice. Though is assume you are really wlike Nintendo's franchises aswell?

because a wii u version of gtaV would easily sell 1M

Hahahahaha, the hihest selling third party right now is at  370k, gta on the ds sold 1.26mill on a 150mill userbsase how the hell would gta sell easily 1mill on the wii U

Bad logic? Your logic is bad lol. You have the same  world view as investors.....  When you make 1 dollar profit and ESPECIALLY when you are establishing your IP on a platform (which generates more money than not doing so)  is not wasting time.
And when you look at the PC ports of Rockstar games you should know that having perfect ports is not what they aim for so a small team of devs should do it within a short period of time.

Plus the people with the IDEA of a new game and artists etc are not needed to make a port. You just hand over the work to a few coders and thats it. So making a port =/= halting development of a new games.

And as I said establishing product to increase the potential userbase for future games is important NOT making money right now. Money comes later when you are already established.  As "out of touch with reality" developers you also seem to think short term profit is everything  when instead long term profit is the key to success. (btw the  short term profit  problem is destroying every type of business/company right not just gaming companies)

Just look at COD3  it sold almost identical on Wii as it did on 360 and better on Wii as it did on PS3. Then they abandoned Wii with ModernWarfare because they were dumb  just to come back 2 years later with a  REFLEX EDITION port.  That was to late  the COD BOOOM happened with modern warfare and thats why COD is not selling on Wii that well   not because Wii owners dont like it but instead they moved on and bought 360s etc to buy it or they moved on to play other games on Wii because Activision was to stupid to bring the game to the Wii. Plus Reflex Edition was a port of an already OLD game.

The COD sales went from 2.16million with COD3 (in 2006 when Wii was still new) to only 1.47 million with MW:Reflex in 2009! Activision killed it's Wii usersbase.

If they want Wii owners to appreciate their game and to generate profit  they need to work and accept short term loss  because thats what companies usually do when they want long term profit. (look at Xbox and PS3 launch. MS and Sony understand that)

They need to bring out several games without dropping Wii again because 1 game doesnt sell well. Every single  game in a series that does not come to Wii or now WiiU damages the IP on that system nothing else and you have to start from scratch in establishing it because the users lose confidence. I mean would you buy a version of COD when you don't know if it will ever have a big community? or if the next installment is coming? and if it will what if it comes 2 years later again?  NO you would rather buy another version where you are sure it will happen.

Black Ops on PS3 sold twice as good as it sold on WiiU  so how exactly is WiiU not good for that kind of game? I mean just look at the facts.
1. WiiU version lacks some features 2.WiiU version has almost no community because the console userbase is so small and yet the PS3 version only sold 2.2x better (console : games sold ratio) than the WiiU version.  In total numbers the PS3 COD sales destroy the WiiU COD sales but only because there is 22x more PS3s than there is WiiUs.

Third party is the only reason why third party is not successful on Nintendo platforms. And every big game like GTA not coming to the system makes it harder for every third party developer not only the one making the game  to establish oneself.   EA is the reasony Activision has problems and Activision is the reason why Ubisoft has problem etc.  They only think about themselves and about short term profit.  Thats the most stupid thing you could do.....

And BTW even if Rockstar made 10 WiiU ports without profit they should keep doing it because 1. they can afford it and 2. the userbase is increasing every time (thats the most important thing!)

When they stop porting a single game over the userbase gets a hit.

Because for me of a person that played every GTA game.  The gameboy color or  DS/PSP games are no real GTA.  I did not buy both but bought 1 2 3 4+dlc

hey chinatown wars wasn't worse then gta 1 and 2 and it's one of or the highest rated game on the ds

yeah im primarily a Nintendo gamer, and their franchises are always my priority as they appeal to me the most. However one of the main excuses 3rd party devs used with Wii was that it simply wasnt powerful enough. Wii U has rectified that to an extent, and even though it isnt as powerful as xbone/ps4, multiplat ports wont be as gimped as Wii ones. To sum it up, i was hoping Wii U was going to get more of a balance of 3rd party games to compliment their excellent 1st party titles. Some of these titles like Batman and Watchdogs are coming so great, but other 3rd parties are shunning the console which is a shame.
