i really really dont see many third party exclusive games for the wiiu. What are these next gen games on the wii? because so far all it is getting are games they we have already played on the PS3/Xbox. Its going to have a years head start not enough tiime for a big enough install base to warrant Wiiu 3rd party exclusives
I mean what 3rd party exclusives have they announced?
Batman, Battlefield, Mass Effect, darksiders... oh wait/
Third party exclusive games are becoming a thing of the past now with how big the game business is these days.
It used to be that somebody like Sony could pay a 3rd party for an exclusive, think back to games on the PS2 like Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto.
These days that doesn't happen because a 3rd party can make a fortune by releasing the same game across all consoles.
A franchise like COD could convince people to buy a Wii-U but they would have to pay Activision a ridiculous sum of money based of what they forecast they would make across all the consoles... You then also have to remember the other new thing is DLC and subscription services which continue to add revenue after the sale.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo can now only buy out a Developer early on if they think they have something which is going to be big, thus becoming 1st party. The reality is though that 3rd party exclusives for this generation & the foreseeable one are a thing of the past.
