Your post shows your ignorance on why 3rd party Wii U support is so poor. Its not lack of resouces from publishers, its lack of interest from the Wii U audience.


There would be a lack of interest in 3rd party games on PS and Xbox also, if they were only given ports like ZombiU for 2 decades straight...

Uhhh... I think youre ignoring what support Wii U had.

The same games that did great numbers on other platforms simply went ignored on Wii U. Every Wii U should be bundled with Deus Ex!

Well to be fair, the audience hasnt gotten many chances to buy great third party games...

It got the same games that were popular on Playstation and Xbox. But the Wii U audience ignored them and bought Nintendo and casual games. If CoD was hitting those Just Dance numbers maybe they would have kept putting it on Wii U.


Then you need to read up on them. Youve clearly just seen the titles available on the WiiU and the sales of them and said to yourself "Those games sold better on the other consoles"

Most of them came out months to a year later, had less features or just didnt get any marketing at all.

Some also came out at the same time as other platforms and still bombed.

Heres what happened, people who enjoy 3rd party games became savvy after the original Wii. Consumers learned the best place for 3rd party gaming is Playstation and Xbox.

But thats okay, the Wii U is still a good place for games the competitors dont offer. If it wasnt for the tablet control I feel the Wii U could have been a success.

The worst part of releasing a below average game on one single platform is that you only get to fool one fanbase.

Sorry Ubi, we already know.

Well lets see how Zombi does on the PS4 and XB1, then...

Even the good ports like Deus Ex: HR and NfS: Most Wanted U didn't sell good.

Most publishers have their teams for simple porting jobs and they have to decide how they use this manpower / limited resources best. Will a PS3/360 port to Wii U be more profitable (more optimization due to hardware limitations needed, 3rd party seen as "necessary evil" by big parts of the core base, low sales for most 3rd party games) or will a PS3/360 port to PS4 and/or XBO be more profitable (less optimization and therefore less time + money needed, 3rd party games widely accepted by big parts of the core base, much better sales of 3rd party games)? Gee, it's a hard decision!

They might have been good ports, but the games still came out months after the 360 and PS3 versions. Many WiiU owners have multiple consoles.

It sounds like youre saying that its easier to squeeze money out of Sony and MS fans btw...

The PS4 and XBO ports also come out months or years after the 360 and PS3 versions... doesn't keep them from selling well.

Sure they have if they are interested in third party games... that happens if the owner of the Wii and Wii U platform ain't pursuing good relations to third parties for many years and has a "build it and they will come" attitude.

Well games like GTAV would sell well on any console. Im not sure Sleeping Dogs, DMC, Dark Souls 2, Metro etc did great on the PS4 or XB1...
