I dont think perception of it having games was a problem. People knew there were a load of decent games for it, it just wasnt made by sony. Its a totally different cause of failure to the wii u. |

Do the sales figures and the constant cancelling of games not make you think they may have a point?
The bigger concern (for me at least) isn't stuff getting cancelled, it's stuff not getting developed in the first place! Almost every new game multi-format game announcement doesn't have the Wii U getting a version. EA were barely supporting it in the first place and are all but withdrawing entirely. Nintendo themselves have only really got a handful of games they've revealed.
The onus is really on Nintendo to make games that sell consoles. Will they get better at this as time goes on? Who knows. I can completely understand being cautious though, as they really haven't proven they're really invested in the Wii U yet. This time next year even I may not be happy

I'm curious, is that really your picture? It's an interesting... Choice. Or did you just Google 'looks like a nonce' and grab the first picture it returned?

I play games, of course I'm interested in them. If you didn't behave like the equivalent of a yappy little overexcited dog that everybody on the street is irritated by, you'd perhaps consider that people are pulling your leg.
Or alternately, I'm off to pray at my Nintendo hate shrine made from desecrated Mario games and stick a Banjo Kazooie cartridge up a Mario plushies' bottom. -

Yep, EA have pretty much abandoned ship, not sure what else is behind it but Nintendo was always asking for trouble with an underpowered machine again.

Of course if these titles end up on PS360 we'll know it has nothing to do with any technical reason. -

A more accurate title could be "Nintendo failing to support third parties on the wii u, driving away potential developers."

Can't wait for the Super Nintendo II ambassador programme that enables all early Wii U adopters to grab the new console at half price. -

I'm being generous with 'sequel' for most of them as they're more or less add on packs for existing games. -
I'd happily grab the lot minus Deus Ex. -
Everyone loves a sequel, and/or remake. (Everyone meaning me!! )
Nintendo obviously more guilty then others but Sony and MS are learning how to milk it.
God of war
Gears of war
Gran turismo
Forza
Halo
Little big planet.
Ratchet & Clank
Plus the HD collections of older games like Ratchet & Clank, God of war, Metal gear solid, Jak & Daxter.
Don't know quite where I'm going with this. I guess I'm trying to say all popular games will keep spawning sequels.
We will see more Uncharted, GT, killzone, Little Big Planet, God of war on the PS4.
Luckily I like all of those that I've mentioned besides KZ. Win win for me as I love the exclusives on every system.

I do hope Nintendo can put out enough games to make the console a success, not really holding my breath though. It's swiftly becoming a "2nd console only" which is absolutely terrible.

Still, if anyone can take the hit of a failed console and afford to still come back it's the big N.
