yeah but if all ps/xbox game does look realistic wouldnt it be the same?

Isnt that what miyamoto just said some days ago?^^

People knew that Ghosts was gimped on the Wii U...

This won't sell better than a real FIFA:

Here's 3 simple ways to improve 3rd party support on Nintendo consoles in general...

1:  Develop hardware that is at the very least on par with your competitors from a technical standpoint, and offers similar online / multimedia features.

2:  Work in tandem with 3rd party studios to promote their games with your console as much as your own titles.

3:  Use these high profile 3rd party titles to bring in new gamers who actually buy games not made by Nintendo.

Also that feels like it would undermind the artistic view the developers had to begin with, and probably make porting games to the Wii U even more expensive.

The solution to this mess is in the hands of nintendo and nintendo alone.

They need to make sure their next console is easy to port too.'

You cant help that, if Nintendo makes a weak console.

Any multi plat game it gets is going to look much worse than on xbox or ps4, simply because of the Wii U hardware.

That is true, but western developers barely push their cartoon-esque IPs compared to the "hardcore" titles. Activision already has Skylanders on the U, Ubisoft made Rayman Legends for the WiiU. They don't really make that many games that would attract the WiiU audience, or at least, they don't focus on them because their other franchises are so much more profitable elsewhere. EA has a lot of cartoony, family friendly titles, but they are still boycotting the WiiU due to Nintendo not accepting their Origin deal.

the financial incentive would be that they reach complete new gamers. Assassins Creed 4 as an example will be mostly played by 14 years and older.

If you make a special cartoony version of the same game which would theoretical played by millions of 8-14 year olds (and older people who just prefer cell shading graphics) and these audience is already on wii u (because of games like mario kart, 3d wörld, nintendoland, windwaker = all cartoony and rated e) that could work

That's another part of the puzzle. The next console needs 2 things: a normal controller and be easy to port. No gimped CPU, no gimped GPU, no small RAM. Doesn't matter if is not as powerful as the competitors, as long as it is easy to port. The less resources the third parties needs, the more posibilities Nintendo have to get third party support.

I guess so, but from a 3rd party dev standpoint, it takes so much more effort to completely change the graphics compared to a graphical downgrade that it's easier to not port it in the first place

ok i totally forgot about this version of fifa on the wii and its a good point that my idea might not be working, i have to admit.

But you should also consider that fifa isnt a rated m game and even the normal fifa can be played by everyone (assassins creed as example is fsk 16 in my country = you need to be 16) and the wiimote controls are very bad for games like fifa.

But i have to admit that this is pretty much my idea.

I also checked sales and did some math:

Fifa 08 sold around 1m copies on wii.

Fifa 08 sold 1,75m copies om ps3

I dont know about the installed hw base of both but ps3 was clearly alot smaller as wii in 2007.

On the other hand, the game call of duty always looked realistic on both consoles.

Call of duty modern warfare (2007) sold 6,5 mio units on ps3 and world at war (2008) sold 2 Mio units on wii [no cod in 2007 for wii].

So the realistic cod sold compared to ps3 sales worse on wii as fifa which featured cartoony looking graphics.

Hope thats understandable^^
