Oh I know, I just wanted to be ambiguous.  

I guess it's obvious. Wii U owners don't really care about achievements. The contrast compared to the other console's crowd is kind of funny.

I wish I could play it in December. Instead I have to wait till January (EU). Oh well, I'll probably get Mario Kart 8 to hold me over after I am done with Tropical Freeze.

It's only Nintnedo's job to make the console attractive to a extent. Easy to develop for (they did that) a non hostile, welcoming environment (they did that) and making it easy to get dev packs (they did that). Yes, promised sales are also important, but not int this case. EA, Ubi and all the other devs that back-stabbed ninty didn't know what the sales were going to be because they all dropped support and backed out before release. Before sales numbers even existed. All those were excuses you gave are also non excuses. The name: All the companies were obviously aware of the name of the console. Look at the E3 presentation. it wasn't "here's our new console that hasn't been named yet." It was "Here is our new console, the Wii U. Let's hear what our third party devs have to say." and then the third parties talked about the console. And then they said it's name. They were aware.

Develoment for the Wii U is pretty easy. Easy enough that if the third parties put any real effort towards developing on the system they would be able to make great games in no time. Just look at what indies say about workingwith it. They're constantly praising the unexpected ease and power. This is just another lame full of crap excuse the third parties made. Are the Xbone and PS4 easier to develop for? Yes. Is this an excuse for their stupidity? No. First of all, the WIi U was out a full year before these two. There was no comparison to be made for that whole year. Ye support was pulled in that time. Not only that, games like Crysis 3, where the dev team had alreeady figured out how to work with the system and pretty much finished the game were still cancelled. For what? Because the Xbone is easier to dev for? That makes no sense.

So the third parities pulled out simply because they're massive vegetas. Now what was supposed to be a strong launch window is not strong launch window. And who do they blame? Nintendo. Not themselves for being massive dickholes, but Nintendo because they didn't do this or that or a bunch of other small things. In reality it's what people have been saying from day one. A lack of games. Something the third parties themselves were supposed to solve. Oh, but the icing on the cake? They then use poor year one sales an excue to stop backing Nintendo. You see how that's massive douhebaggery right? Also, Wii u is still more profitable to develop for than Xbone, but who are the companies supporting more?

An even better example of this docuhebaggery; the 3DS is the best selling and oldest console this gen. You know how may games EA has developed for it? Two. TWO. What's their excuse? Promised sales are there. Easy development is there. Welcoming environment is there.

And in case you didn't know (you probably didn't) that is the smallest number of games for any of the gen 8 systems. Most sales, least games, because that makes sense, right? And it totally lines up with their excuse on the WIi U, right?

Anyway, I'll be that guy and answer my onw question. Western "triple a" devs don't like Nintendo. That's their excuse. And I'm pretty sure a big part of that dislike is because Nintendo refuses to beg and pay them to bring their games to Nintendo consoles. A practice which should not be happening and only hurts  the game industry more than it's already being hurt.

YES! I am so fricking happy about this. Complain about the heels some more. I ****ing dare you!
