sorry mate, but there just arent enough people who own wii u's to fiscally justify this undertaking. Even if you got the signature of every last wii u owner.

 

False,  Wii U's out there then Xbox One's.

What are you guys even doing here if you see the WiiU as a lost cause?
Also, how is it supposed to sell any better if it doesn't get games?
Ok, the petition probably won't get us Destiny, but if it gets a lot of signatures, it might be noticed by other developers. Which is good right?

I don't see it as a lost cause.

I have always said it will sell 20-30 million units and be a great 2nd platform for playing all the great first person Nintendo games.

We also have great 2nd party exclusives like Bayonetta and W101.

You want Destiny, get a PS4.

I love the Wii U. But it is what it is. A console for Nintendo games only, and whatever exclusive they can eek out.

Argument from ignorance, false equivilence.

Unfortunately, the reality of this situation is that this means absolutely nothing in how much it would cost to bring to wii u vs how much those 8 million sales would make them.

The xbox one and the ps4 share near identical hardware. In fact, their main processors, are EXACTLY the same make of processor, they utilize the same exact make of APU, meaning they have the same exact cpu, and the same exact make of gpu, only the gpu model differs slightly, as the ps4 has about 18 more gcn shader cores. This is why you get xbone games with lower fps and resolution than ps4 games.

In other words, it costs nothing to 'port' the game from ps4 to xbone, so it would be utilizing the original half a billion dollars used for the ps4/pc production. So all the sales it would get would be profit.

The wii u is a very different, very custom machine, it would require a ground up version built specifically for the hardware. Which would mean activision would need a large portion of another 15-16 million sales to break even. On top of that, you have to add opportunity costs, which is the cost of that dev team making the wii u version, including learning the wii u hardware well enough to make destiny a worthwhile product, and marketing the wii u version, which could have used that time and staff on other projects that could have been making money.

Activision will never, in a million years, even if all 8 million wii u owners sign the petition, because activision just doesnt care about releasing great games to people who want them. Bungie probably does, but they have no power here, they are just the developer. What activision cares about is monetizing whales for the retention of virility.

And Nintendo platforms in general, have a history of not bowing to that bullcrap.
