Metro: Last Light For Wii U Will Not Release With Other Consoles, If At All

"... and snicker with evil glee. " Teach your son well.

If gamers view the new Nintendo hardware as Wii V2.0 then its DOA. If you had the choice to play Last Light, or any other new FPS would you prefer Wii U or PS3 / 360? Only fanboys would point to the Wi, all their friends will be playing on the core consoles. I have to agree, this looks bad for Nintendo, who I am sure are trying to move past the casual gamers' console label. Most grandparents and aunts and uncles already have a Wii collecting dust, they won't be back in the market for this generation. So unless Nintendo attracts more core gamers, I see serious trouble for an already hobbled platform. Fair assessment I think.

If the prices is right, and I still get major releases around the same time as everyone else, I will happily purchase a Wii U.

I waited 4 years to jump into the "next-gen" and the Wii U seems like a smaller step, which I like. Can we get a name change though...I guess they thought the branding would help, but I feel like it's hurting its chances.

Well I don't think WiiU has a chance with Hardcore gamers anyway. It's already 5 to 6 years behind on this. Microsoft and Sony have a strong fanbase already. What makes you think you are going to get someone whose been gaming on an XBOX for five years to suddenly switch to Nintendo for their Call of Duty fix? That and we've seen that Nintendo's online multiplayer was laughable at best (friend codes?!) I know a problem with the Wii was that it was viewed as a kiddy console but I think it's way too late in the game for Nintendo to try this Hardcore Gamers who are doing CoD or Battlefield. Nintendo has their strong IPs and you are going to get the people who love Mario and Zelda to buy their consoles just for that. Now truth is yes, they need much better variety of games if you want to sway other people, but I feel like they'll have better luck with console exclusive games then trying to compete with Xbox and PS3.

More memory. That's really all we need at this point. I'm okay with where graphics are at. I'm NOT okay with having to cut cool features because of memory issues.

If Call of Duty releases on the WIi U and critics mention "better graphics than the Xbox/PS3" you can bet your ass a couple of million players will spring for the Wii U version. It's...dumb, but it'll happen.

Same thing with the PS Vita, I doubt we will ever see a proper 3DS CoD, but once there is a Vita version...hardware sales will skyrocket. Take a hot product and pair it with a lukewarm platform and you've got a timebomb waiting to go off. If Nintendo is smart, they'll start snatching up exclusivity deals. But that won't happen, because they aren't smart.

If the Wii U looked like a Hardcore console then I bet many gamers would be happy to buy it. But for that, it would first need to be properly better than the PS3/360 in specs and have a name and marketing campaign targeted at the Mature market. And what TheJx4 said.

Nintendo will continue to make gems based on superior design for their limited hardware, while third parties will continue to whine about limited hardware to create games based on superior graphics but inferior design and shoestring marketing budgets.
