I et interview med Reggie Fils-Aime hos Forbes - hvor Nintendo-chefen fortæller hvorfor man bør vælge Nintendo Wii U til jul - forklarer han at tredjepartsudviklere og udgivere stadig har tiltro til konsollen.
Han nævner blandt andet elefanten i rummet, Activision, der formodentlig ikke er synderligt imponerede efter kun 1 procent af alle Call of Duty: Ghosts-eksemplarer blev solgt på Wii U i spillets første uge på markedet. Til sammenligning blev 62 procent af alle eksemplarer af spillet solgt på Xbox 360.
"With a healthy and vibrant installed base, those key publishers are gonna create content that are going to be wonderful for the system. Case in point: Activision. One of the number one rated games [recently] on the Wii U is Skylander SWAP Force. They've done a stellar job creating that content. And absolutely we look forward to Call of Duty coming on the platform. A true Call of Duty experience, leveraging unique play with the GamePad.
You look at someone like Ubisoft. They do tremendous business with Just Dance on our platform. And we look forward to Assassin's Creed, we look forward to Watchdogs next year coming on the platform. Warner Brothers... I could go through the list in terms of key software publishers that are making great content for the platform. And what they tell me every day is, "Reggie, how can I help you drive your installed base?"
