Not showing any footage of Watch_dogs Wii U or gamepad features isn't helping your own game to sell on the console. If you are going to invest in games, at least make a decent effort to show due cause for the fanbase to get excited for your software. It doesn't cost millions to make a trailer.

Anyway, this is business and they have every right to not invest in the Wii u ,if it doesn't make them money. The onis is on Nintendo right now to make the wii u a viable console to invest in.

I don't buy third party games on Wii U because the games they put out are crap compared to the level of polish and playability Nintendo gives me. Assassin's Creed has a terrible frame rate compared to my PC. Need for Speed was awesome, Rayman was awesome, Mass Effect, Deus Ex, even Sonic are pretty good games. But other than those, everything has been gimped or treated like a second class commodity. FIFA was AWFUL. And of course EA used that BS to justify no more FIFA games. I AM THEIR TARGET MARKET AND THEY REFUSE TO SATISFY ME. Every year, I buy on PC and last year made me mad they didn't put Ignite into the PC release. Finally, they got it right with FIFA 15. But it's that kind of crap that makes me avoid third parties. Nintendo keeps proving that games can ship, complete, with no big patches or DLC required. Even the size of Nintendo games is much smaller than more system-intensive games.

I own 17 retail Wii U games, and much more downloaded eShop titles. I play PC games a lot, because we PC guys get the best versions of games most of the time. MOST of the time, not always. Why would I buy AC IV on Wii U when I get the better running version for less on Steam? That's a value proposition that Ubisoft needs to sort out, not Nintendo. Those who buy the games on Xbox and PS don't have gaming PCs.

EVERYBODY STOP THE GIANT QUOTE TREES I WILL BAN THE NEXT PERSON TO POST ONE!

3 quotes per post maximum is the rule! And use your discretion to snip if all those three are enormous!

Well, in that case, screw you, Ubisoft!

Just because YOU don't like those games doesn't make them instantly paid reviews, I don't like those games either but I can see why they reviewed higher than a 30 year old franchise.

I can hardly believe that the CEO of such a big company says a nonsense (not to say bs) like this!

Everybody keeps says that the Wii U must increase its install base to make it worth releasing new games to the system, and at the same time keep up creating these games to the XB1. The WiiU install base is presently about 50% higher that that of the XB1, and analysing things clearly, it wil remain bigger for at least the next 1 year, or even maybe forever as hardcore gamers keep prefering the PS4 and MS has already cut the prices, released Titanfall and droped off the Kinect - so now only Halo can help it and I bet it won't be enough...

Else than that, and as everybody knows, games like WatchDogs, AC and adventures like this, they sell well for one month, two maybe, and them drop heavely to way lower levels, so saying that they're releasing games now for the XB1 instead of the WiiU 'cos in the future the believe that XB1 will have a bigger install base makes basically nonsense at all! (how much percent of the gamers would buy AC IV now instead of WatchDogs? And WatchDogs in the future against whatever the release later on the year? I'm sure you guys got my point.    But Ubisoft's headmaster appearently didn't...) 

"if watchdogs was released for wii u at the same time as the other versions and advertised what the wii u gamepad brought to the gameplay do you not think it would have a better chance at higher sales because it was advertised the advantages that the wii u could provide"

Sure, why not?

Else, if some games sell less on the WiiU, a good part of it is also due to very poor quality ports they sometimes make, either with worse graphs (and they have no excuse for that, 'cos to the games being released WiiU still has enough horsepower), either they make no decent use of WiiU's advantages, like the GamepPad sreen and gyroscope and even the free online gaming.

I gauruntee they do some.

That's not what I meant. I was just pointing out that Sony lost way more money than Nintendo did in the 18 months  of PS3 vs. the first 18 months of Wii U.

Every Nintendo console with the exception of Wii was $199.99 or less. It's not really that crazy. Yamauchi believed that a software was useless unless you have consoles to play it on. This is why Nintendo use to price their consoles so low. Iwata comes in, screws the pooch on the 3DS and Wii-U price points, and bam...insta slump.

Nintendo needs to keep prices in the sub $200.00 imo.
