Despite low sales of the Wii U over the past year, Nintendo of America’s Scott Moffitt says he’s confident that third-party developers will continue to support the Wii U. In an interview with Forbes<\/a>, Moffitt stated that he believes console sales will improve this holiday season and that more great games from third-party publishers will be coming in 2014.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t see this as an either-or proposition. Nintendo is in the unique position of being both a hardware manufacturer as well as a software producer. We want Wii U to be the console that every developer wants to publish on.<\/p>\n

A key way to make that happen is to grow the installed base of Wii U owners, and we know that current Wii U owners are very happy with their purchases. Our great lineup in the second half of the year will create more buyers, and beyond that third-party support is important to attract as diverse an audience as possible.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s interesting to see Nintendo have such confidence in third-party publishers, when Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Interactive have been the only publishers supporting their games on the Wii U. Activision has Call of Duty: Ghosts and Electronic Arts has completely pulled out of Wii U development<\/a>, citing the need to evaluate the market and return when its stronger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
