According to the Games Connection Publisher Survey for 2013, publishers will rather make games for PS4 and 720 than Wii U.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.

ha ha Haaa. Who would support the wiiU when Nintendo has yet to SHOW us THE AWESOME ways to USE the Gamepad?
I think the Wonderful 101 and Pikmin 3 will FINALY reveal the wiiU gamepad's UNIQUE potential besides being able to just play games on it.
Many game designers lack revolutionary drive if not MOST. hhee hee hee can't wait for this years E3!!!!!
why beat a dead horse?
this article is messed, it didn't have a link to the survey and the writer added their opinion. this person was/is fishing for hits
"While the Wii U is still doing better than the current gen systems, it looks like Nintendo still has some leg work to do to get some of the gaming community back." = opinion
