They were doing really good with the 3DS, I thought that success would continue over to the Wii U.

I mainly play exclusives, but I would like to try more third party games this year and I can't afford a gaming PC.

I remember reading an article saying wii U version was going to be better than ps360, so if they got that far, why would they cancel it?

I doubt it will get cancelled with all the work that has been done on it. But I woudn't expect support from Ubi on any other big projects in the future.

EA had Crysis 3 running. Canned.

I doubt it. There's only a few months left until the game releases, there's no way they'd cancel it now that they have most of the work done, that would make all their work a complete waste of time and money.

Wouldn't be surprised, but I doubt this is true.

Oh, well then I can see why people were ignoring him. I do think it's a good sign the port isn't canceled, but it's far from proof.

That's only if you count Japanese games, I can't think of any worthwhile 3rd party 3DS game coming from a western developer. Even in a scenario where the Wii U is preforming decently, the same thing would have happened, since at this point, we know the Wii U won't get any 3rd party support. Watch Dogs is there because there's a 360 and PS3 version (same with other Ubisoft tittle like Assasins Creed), and maybe because Nintendo made a contract with Ubisoft, but otherwise the game would have not seen the light of day on the Wii U.

In any case, if you want to play 3rd party games, Nintendo has never been the way to go (not since the SNES at least). If you want to explore new games, you should buy another console, simple as that. That's the reason why I got a PC (that and because I can pirate games )

The install base is nowhere near 160 million on PS3+360. But there is of course a large portion of gamers still on last generation consoles.
