Remember Need For Speed Most Wanted U? It was a game that was made with care for the U and didnt sell well. Reason being:
1) Only a certain percent of gamers like racers
2)Released 4 months later than every other platform

So pretty much any person(in the limited racing gaming community) with a PC/X1/PS4 and a U will get it on platforms that are not the U, especially with a TBA 2015 release date.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I've never seen people say polls within gaming can't be trusted unless they're in Ninty's favour.

lol, that anger though. When I first heard about Project Cars I was a little intrigued about what they were trying to do. When I heard they were making a Wii-U version, I was a little confused as they were going for bleeding edge graphics, which...you know...isn't really a Wii-U thing. Also I can't understand people who prefer the Wii-U as their only console and then expect third party racing sims with all the bell and whistles as say PS4/X1. The devs of Project Cars just as you have the right to not buy their game, have to right to release their game on whichever platform, whenever they want. They didn't force you to game solely on the platform with the worst third party support. This doesn't bother me though, Nintendo is getting pushed ever more to make the smart move and become a third party dev.



Thanks jlmurph!

That is no way a smart move.

As for Project Cars, you do know it was a crow funded game, right? People paid for the game to be made on PS360, the WiiU, and PC.

People didn't really care they about the fact that they moved development to PS4One, but tell me this, if you were a WiiU owner, would you have donated for this game, knowing it'll get delayed for 6 months? No, you wouldn't. That's why a lot of people are pissed off.

If I was a Wii-U owner it would be well after I get myself a console with third-party support. No way in hell would I punish myself missing out on GTA, FF, DA and now Destiny. Also I've never crowd funded a game nor will I ever, but for those that do, I'm pretty sure there is a disclaimer somewhere telling you that "shit can happen".

The thing is, we know the WiiU version of the game was in development before the XB1 and PS4 versions, and PS4 and XB1 already have racing games coming out in late 2014, why didn't they delay all versions to 2015 then? Certainly they know Driveclub and Forza Horizon 2 will cannibalize the sales?

Oh don't worry, I'm sure they'll delay the pther versions too after seeing Driveclub footage

People expected the WiiU to have 3rd party support at some point. How they were wrong :P
