Insomniac: Wii U is current gen, not working on games for it

Quote :

Developer Insomniac Games doesn’t think the Wii U is a next-gen console. According to Insomniac CEO Ted Price, they consider the Wii U a current generation console, and they don’t have any games planned for it. He shared his thoughts on the Wii U in a recent Reddit Q&A.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard a developer classify the Wii U as a current generation console. Just yesterday, we reported that 15 EA games are skipping the Wii U because the new Frostbite 3 game engine doesn’t work well on the new Nintendo console.
We’ve previously heard Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata comment on the Wii U being under-powered, which he said was a “misunderstanding”, and that Nintendo was working on educating developers on Wii U’s potential.

Insomniac Games is one of the studios that has been around for quite a while — almost 20 years. They’ve been through several console cycles, and have mostly developed on PlayStation platforms. Insomniac is known for the Resistance and Ratchet & Clank series. They’re currently working on Fuse, a multiplayer shooter that’s coming out on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Wow. That is fucking pathetic. Nintendo is going to turn into the next Sega soon if the Wii U doesn't start to sell well.

EA senior engineer says it's crap, Avalanche says their dev kits are collecting dusts, Metro: Last Night developer hat's Wii U's CPU, almost no 3rd party company is bringing their multiplats to the console and now this.

Seriously Nintendo get your fucking shit together, in 5 fucking months you've given us 2 decent games and one of them is a fucking remake. FIVE FUCKING MONTHS! It's obvious that Nintendo rushed the Wii U to get a headstart in the next gen market and it's now backfiring as fuck. Pikmin 3 and Wonderfull 101 should've come out a long time ago.

I for god hope that the next zelda and mario will look good because right now the Wii U is seriously shitting on their fans.

Yeah, not great. At least their handheld market is kicking major ass.
