@GiftedGimp Ubisoft said a few times Liberation was profitable, I think it was 2nd best selling game om the platform, I know you hate playstation but there is no need to just make poopiedoodlecacapoopiedoo up.
Wii U is in deep trouble, less and less games come to that platform, no matter how well Mario and DK sells, no company wants to be 1st party box including Nintendo
That 61% includes indie games, dlc, iOS, ANdroid, facebook microtransactions, MMO subscriptions. WHen you take it all away pure digital vs disc is probably 10/90 split at most
@cookiex "Sony put a clause in the contract that would've effectively allowed them to retain the licensing to most SNES-CD games and cut Nintendo off most of the revenue. "
WHAT? SO WHAT? it's not like Sony have put a gun next to Nintendo's CEO head asked them to agree to that contract/deal. Both companies agreed on that, and THEN Nintendo realized their mistake and stabbed Sony in the back. You make Sony a bad guy here wanting to exploit Nintendo (there is nothing wrong with wanting maximum profit), while at the very leased it's Nintendo who was incompetent because they agree to things without realizing long term repercussions.
It's like saying a bank wanted to screw me over but hey I'm the one who signed the agreement without thinking it through.
that developer has been poopiedoodledingdongdays for years now
never wanted it in the first place
will buy on PS/Xbx, I bought Wii U for Nintendo games
I'd rather play Mario for the 50th time
Pikmin! Pikmin! Pikmin! Pikmin!
it's bad, doesnt matter what you think, its bad, I can almost guarantee that Evil Within will skip WiiU and that game looks sick

I'm waiting for two games to come to WiiU: new Zelda (HD remake still not a system seller for me) and Metroid. And there isnt a word about any of those. LInk to the past 2 should be on WiiU not 3DS
@PopeReal and who would publish a developer unproved in multiplatform space, Nintendo? They are tied to EA for multiplatform games and to Sony for Ratcher and Clank
I see nothing wrong with it, its business, they're promoting items they are selling by themselves.
Also they are the biggest online retailer in the world, they have the right to demand Nintendo addressing the issue of scratched screens in 3DS, Amazon supposedly got a ton of returns
Take 2 (Borderlands, Bioshock Infinite); Konami (Revengeance); Square Enix (Tomb Raider, Hitman), so its more than just EA snubbing WiiU. All three publishers have big games announced: GTA5, Ground Zeros, Thief, those games will show if they think WiiU as worthwhile.
It's a shame Lego City doesnt have basic multiplayer (racing, deathmatch) it would make more core gamers get WiiU for it. There is Bayonetta 2, but it will be a while before we play it.
No one should blame DICE, they're trying to say it as indirect and vague as possible. This decision is not up to them, it's business call by EA. Obviously the game will be out on PC/PS4/720/PS3/360, thats 5 platforms so DICE is pretty capable developer studio, adding WiiU to that would be no problem for them. It's not good overall for Nintendo, no mayor 3rd party game should miss WiiU, Mario and Zelda fans wont carry a system alone, its just weird that WiiU is stuck between generations. So far Ubisoft is releasing games and its great, its two mayor tittles will drop in fall Watch Dogs and AC4 (both cross gen PS3/PS4) and Rayman Legends, but I wonder what the sales numbers will be. Blops2 sold ~1% of ps3/360 sales.

Re: Pikmin 3 Shifts Slightly More Copies Than The Original in First Week in Japan
Pikmin is not a system seller, future WiiU owners will pick it up, but very few people will buy a system for it, me included
