this isn't even news. When was the last time they developed on a Nintendo console other then some shovelware table tennis game on Wii.

Also his comment is kind of stupid in general ""If they're buying hardware, we'll be there with software:" as Wii was selling like hot cakes so where was the software.

Just admit the truth we known it for years.


Im interested, what is the truth? That evil 3rd party companies conspire against Nintendo because they are jelous ?

 

About your argument, other than a few Ubisoft and SEGA games, 3rd party sales on Wii were horrid, because of the casual consumer base that wasnt interested in the games like Bioshock and Borderlands


The truth is there is no demographic for adult games as most that want to play them ended up buying multiple consoles last gen due to the lack of adult games.

Console install base is BS because they released all their heavy hitters on PS3 whe it was struggling.

 FYI they could have ported one of the PS2 GTA games for Wii after the initial launch crazy.

I dont understand your first sentence.

They released heavy hitters on PS3 because those heavy hitters actually sold well on PS3

Given how poorly COD and other popular 3rd party games sold Wii, I doubt it they would

his reason why they are not working on Wii U is If they're buying hardware, we'll be there with software

Well that is total BS because they still released games on PS3 when the hardware was struggling even when sales of games wasn't that great.

My first sentence simply says the real reason why those games are not selling on Wii U is cause demographic has moved on to other consoles due to the games being missing in the Wii/GCN era. It is that simple and not because of hardware numbers.  Hell look at PS4 launch has like 5 million sellers shorty after launch and there  was LESS PS4s out there compared to WiiUs. So his hardware install base excuse further has no credit. 



 

 

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread.

Pity. I love to play overrated crap like GTA on my console. Oh wait, I don't.

Did anyone expect anything else ?

The Wii exploded out the door, with incredible sales compared to it´s nearest competitors

...but the support by Take-Two (Rochstar and 2K) was still sparse.

1.PS3 was selling nowhere near as bad as WiiU is selling now. In fact, I dont think any console ever did from the big 4.

2.3rd party sales on PS3 were still satisfactory and much better compared to Wii

3.So your sentence actually supports his desicion not to make any games on WiiU, since you basically said the consumer base moved away from Nintendo consoles?



Not exactly a shocker.

Seems pretty obvious. I don't think any third parties should really bother with Wii U aside from eShop games or ports of last-gen titles as long as they aren't expensive. I own a Wii U, but I would rather play a third party game on another system.


thats why its no point, WiiU+PS4 or WiiU+X1 (im going with the former) this gen kind of like last gen!


Wiiu - PC

ps4 or Xbox are not ever getting my third party money.

Honestly Take Two just didn't do many games that could've even worked on the Wii.

GTA IV/V - impossible
last gen GTA port - there isn't one on the other consoles either, so why a Wii port ?
Red Dead Redemption - impossible
L.A. Noire - impossible (3 discs on 360)
Borderlands - sandbox + online heavy = no chance
Bioshock 1+2 - big levels but could've been downgraded potentially (though Wii released too late for Bioshock 1)
Bioshock Infinite - UE3 so probably not.
Mafia 2 - sandbox, so unlikely


Rockstar Table Tennis - yep
some 2k sports games - yep
some shovelware - yep
last gen port of Bully - yep, perfect audience but only did half as much.
