So EA announced that they ran some tests on the Wii U and said that it can't run Frostbite 3 smoothly. But, here's the thing. Battlefield 4 is running Frostbite 3 and will be released for the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360, and they will be running it with Frostbite 3? The Wii U is at least as powerful as the PS3, if not, more powerful.
This is why I hate EA. |

@lion
The processor is quite similar to the 360's processor, yet the 360 is getting MLL and the WiiU isn't.
Kind of confusing.

| That's because the developers of Metro are getting lazy and don't want to make a release on the Wii U. The Wii U is a next gen console which is perfectly capable of running Metro Last Light. |

"That's because the developers of Metro are getting lazy"
If that were true, they would have kept the series as a PC/360 exclusive instead of setting up a PS3/PS4 release.

| I think most people just don't want to have to deal with adding more stuff to use the Wii U Gamepad. |

| Why release multi-plats on a console which isn't getting enough sales because it doesn't have barely any 1st/3rd party exclusives? |

"I think most people just don't want to have to deal with adding more stuff to use the Wii U Gamepad."
Then make it compatible with the Wii U Pro controller?

How does this nullify the fact that they are making it for more platforms than the original, thus the exact opposite of lazy? Also, unless you have citation for this claim, I am bound to believe otherwise.

| The Wii U has sold less than 500,000 consoles since Christmas. |

Did you read the article he is basing the video on?
"However, despite a strong global performance, the Wii U is tanking in North America. Data released by the NPD Group in an emailed statement shows that the console sold a mere 57,000 units in January, increasing slightly to 64,000 in February. That's overshadowed totally by the Xbox 360, which despite being eight years old now, sold 237,000 units during the same period."

They probably feel the system doesn't pertain to the target audience, despite this not being true and their absence of games is not helping.
Other than that I can only imagine it to be some sort of conspiracy between game developers and MicroSony, trying to get Nintendo out of the game so they can unify and form a monopoly.

@explicitbass
Really? Then why is it that the Xbox 360 sold 2 million units, the PS3 sold 2.4 million units..
And the Wii U sold 2.6 million units.
So whoever told you they sold less than 500,000 units doesn't have his facts right. |

That doesn't matter, it has still sold more units than Xbox 360 and PS3 in the first 4 months after it's launch. Saying "Oh, they haven't sold 500,000 since Christmas" shows that you're just trying to nit-pick at the Wii U because it's supposedly a "kid's console", or so everyone thinks. |

That's a good assumption. Probably a true one too. :/ |

Err... No it doesn't? It shows that the Wii U's sales are dying out. Stop fanboying out and reading too far into things.

Of course people are going to jump on a console on its release date, little do they realise that it's not going to have any worthwhile exclusives for months.
And how does showing that the Wii U has less than 500,000 sales since Christmas imply that I'm apparently nit-picking because it's supposedly a kid's console (it's a family based console pretty much). |

| If they are telling the truth then I think it may be an issue of immature dev tools or a lack of experience using the Wii U's hardware. Although I'm surprised that this is an issue if the PS3/ X360 are going to run games with frostbite 3. If we were talking PS4 and Xbox whatever only then it would be understandable that the Wii U gets left behind but this just seems lazy. |

| The Wii U isn't getting Metro Last Light because the Wii U only plebians do not deserve such an experience. |
