yeah that's just the how the internet works lol

Where were you when Wii U fans were fuming over Rayman Legends being delayed? Both Origins and Legends were critically lauded, Legends sitting at a metacritic of 91 and original being hyped by WIi U owners when it was exclusive. I also remember some claiming victory when the Wii U version was the highest selling back in 2013.

Install base doesn't have to scale 100% linearly for it to have an obvious effect, just look at general Wii U sales and compare that to PS4 sales. Why are the lego games selling far better on PS4 when the Wii U appears the more suitable, less bloated platform? A lot of the rhetoric in this thread seems under the illusion that the PS4 doesn't have a hugely diverse audience and fails to consider the possibility of dual platform ownership. After all people buy Nintendo platforms for exclusives, if they have any interest in multiplats they have to invest in another platform (PC/PS4/X1) and unless the game has some amazing gamepad features PS4 will probably be the platform of choice.

I thought that was a joke? :/

lol most people wouldn't be on forums is they couldn't debate

It won't be wii u as many Nintendo fans still prefer physical copies in their collections.

Then you already got a natural disadvantage of a small install base to begin with.

Wii U. PS4 fans are not the kind of fans that will buy a 3D platformer. Believe it or not I think that Vita would sell more copies than PS4.

The developers are being flooded with calls for Wii U port and they are the ones that buy 3D platformers like they are going out of style. Wii U owners love indies and the team behind Banjo Kazooie know it. If they work out a deal for amiibo support and a Yooka Laylie amiibo, it is pretty much game over for the debate.

Wii U if Nintendo works with them to bring the Kongs to the Wii U version. Specially if this game gets a physical release.

WiiU.

I'd guess PS4. I think Wii U owners are more likely to buy it on PC, as PS4 is more geared for those who want a PC substitute. But if the game runs exactly the same on Wii U and yooka-laylee amiibo is a thing, I can see that version having most sales.

Not really. It seems like the majority of PS4 owners are casual. The same way that the majority of Wii owners were casual. They might buy a brand name because its recognizable, but they won't reach out and buy a indie. Ratchet and Clank may draw some sales, but I think it would probably be comparable to the people who went out and bought a Wii U for Bayonetta 2.

Its why Sony and almost every other developer shifted away from 3D platformers and onto shooters. The majority of the user base of the twins are not interested in 3D platformers. I think that this game will end up on PS+ as a free game early, because it won't garner many sales from the userbase.

They have already promised simultaneous day one release on six platforms.

What do the composers have to do with this? I think calling these guys the most experienced developers in the world is some gross hyperbole. What have they made in the past decade? The amount of money they're making also has little to do with this, in fact I think more money is a detriment to their schedule. The more funds they raise, the more stretch goals they have to make. They'll keep hitting those stretch goals. They can only hire so many people to work on this game if they want to keep the team reasonably small. More promises without hiring more people to work on them means more time spent in development.

Anyway they're already projecting an October 2016 release date. The game only has to be delayed by 3 months to slip into 2017. Much longer delays than that have struck everything from The Witcher 3 all the way down to Shovel Knight. Hell, that late into 2016 might already be bad news for Wii U. Who knows what it'll have going on next year other than Zelda?
