I personally dislike the Wii and Nintendo in general, but unlike some here, I'll provide an unbiased argument. The biggest reason in my opinion: They'd have to make it. They have not devoted anything to the Wii U, and it would be too much trouble to do it now. I don't see much profit in it, as most people who are fans of the FPS genre either don't have a Wii U, or have another platform as well as their Wii U, because the Wii U doesn't really have much of a shooter market. Yes, they would probably sell copies, but mot enough that It would be worth it. Most interested Wii U owners would just buy it for their PS4 or Xbox One in order to avoid the (for lack of a better word) dumbed-down version of the game. Now to go off on the Wii U a little bit. Sorry guys, I just have to. I really don't see how the console is still alive at this point. It relies too heavily on nostalgia, and too little changes. There is very little innovation as far as their games are concerned. In a world where we criticize the repetitive nature of yearly installments and their seemingly endless franchises, some of us continue to support games that are just re-hashes of last year's installment. That was probably really poorly worded, but hopefully I managed to get my point across. I'm starting to get tired... See you starside.

  • If Japan wasn't around to buy all Nintendo's stuff, I'd bet Nintendo would go out of business in a year. I've always said Nintendo should just develop games. Besides their handhelds, their systems aren't very good.

    Isn't the Wii U selling better than the Xbox One now, or did sell better not too long ago?

  • That may be the case, but a LOT of their market is foreign. The Xbox One isn't even being sold in Japan, so there isn't a lot of competition.

  • They're all selling decently, so I'm happy. Also, let's be honest here, the Xbox one isn't going to sell that well in Japan. Not only did the ps4 not sell as expected, but Japan seems to be preferring handhelds at the moment.

  • Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that the Xbox One is literally not being sold there.

  • I just finished saying the same thing on a IGN thread. Listen 3rd party support is not there because of the hardware. Nintendo only makes money from software sales, but when no one is buying consoles how do you sell software. Nintendo will have to make a new system in 2 to 3 years just to survive this new wave of consoles or turn into Sega
