The organisers at the Game Developers Conference have revealed the results of their first annual “State of the Industry” study. The study shows that just 4.6 percent of developers are currently developing a Wii U game, while 6.4 percent of respondents said their next game would be on Wii U. Microsoft had the largest amount of developers with 13.2 percent of surveyed developers currently making games for the Xbox 360 and 14 percent planning their next game on Xbox 360. Sony was just behind Microsoft with 13 percent releasing their current game on PlayStation 3 and 12.4 percent developing their next game for the console. Just 2 percent said they were developing for Nintendo 3DS and 2.8 percent said they would bring their next game to the handheld.
Who did they survey?
oh poor Ninty poor, that is cuz’ it sucks since N64 era awful console and the gamecube what a piece of sh/t without games and only games for babies, the wii ohh fuck¡n console for girls, babies and people without a fuck¡n’ idea about what the true games is.
oh funny you. n64 an awful console. after only the first sentence i knew you are just stupuid xD
You are the stupid one. Nintendo is going down and you know it. Idiot.
oh man, i can’t get guys like you serious anymore. how often did i hear that already? probably 200 times xD
Sure.ya.l look at the 3ds. Most thought it would fail but look at it now! Taking over in Japan and starting to in na. The Wii u still has hope. If what you call a real game is what i think it is, then ur missing out. Black ops is not a real game because it Is not one of a kind. No other game can capture the charm of Mario, the amazing world of Zelda, the adventure of metroid, and overall, the connectivity of people through their games and systems. Plus, nintendo does not even need third party games add long as they have Mario and Zelda.
This survey is fucked. The 3DS has more games coming than any other platform out there.
these kind of people must be retarted or have too much time, or both?
I dont have time nor interest to go on hating xbox sites, even though I dont really care for it.
It’s “RETARDED” not “RETARTED’ you “RETARD !LOL!
Lol
That study is nonsense because it doesnt include japanese developers who are the ones who always develop the most on nintendo platforms.
True. Also I wonder based on thier “survey” how many are developing for the ps4 or 720?
Yep I think this is quite a good number as it’s a new console with a very limited install base, whereas the other consoles have set up a stable install base of over 70 million each.
Or maybe it is because:
A) You are a fuck face
B) Nintendo sucks
Get over it, you know its true.
There’s no “maybe” here, because you’re a lying sad sack.
It could be true, ’cause we have a new developer on every corner, but who cares? What we need are good games.
What Nintendo needs is to give up while they still can. The Wii U is going to flop down on its face. Nintendo is going to go 3rd party pretty soon here.
If thats true why are you afraid if it?
seriously dude, go play some games if you have some & stop gaining attenion, your worst that girls try to get attention & i like it when they do that but you…. I’d rather watch creepy pasta
Studies also show, that games on a Nintendo platform are more likely to be more original, diverse and fun then on the Microny (Microsoft and sony) systems
LOL! This guy thinks Nintendo games are original? LOL!!!!!!
Lol he’s right! LOL!!!!!!!
The idiocy of you makes me wonder why you are even allowed to go to the Internet.
Because the internet is for everyone to use?
[insert comeback here]
But seriously,This guy was annoying so i put in my opinion.
Did they interview indie developers I can put. T to 10 with upcoming projects.
Developers I believe are intentionally trying to kill nintendo because they are too lazy to developers games with more than one set of control schemes. its not about specs. the higher the specs the higher the cost of development.
No. It’s because Nintendo is going downhill and they know it. Get you facts right. If they wanted to develop for Nintendo, they would need a private building you fuck face. Not many indies can afford that. Oh, and if they really did not want to support the gamepad, Gaytendo made a “Pro” controller that you have to buy SEPERATLY! You are an idiot.
Misleading statistic. If this INCLUDES iOS software “developers”, of which there are THOUSANDS, then it immediately dilutes the percentage for console companies. I am pretty sure the survey was worded so that the final outcome could be used as a justification for developers trying to smear console developers.
Agreed that your theory is at least probable.
You are also a Fuck Face. iPhone is better than Wii U and the developers are smart enough to do that because iOS has a bigger user base. Idiot.
Dude your a douche. Go home and fuck your mother
Need more info. There are a ton of developers that work on free, ad-driven apps. If they are including all developers, then this number means nothing to me.
I’d like to know the percent of CONSOLE developers, or something more relevant.
They said 2,500 developers of those 4.6 are making wiiu games i said those are good numbers not better than the others but good never the less.
No one gives a shit like I said those who oopses. Nintendo will have a shin shoryuken cock in their. Mouth’s
Dude! Come on! For real, is that necessary?
Yes it is
No it isn’t , whilst you think it’s funny , others just frown upon you.
Why are u commenting with something that has mouthing to do with u
And I don’t give a shit if people frown upon me
Something that has mouthing to with me ? lol…..
Sorry I’m on my phone lol
lol , I will let you off then. Just remember ! this has absoloutly mouthing to do with me XD
“State of the Industry” study?… Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s buying it. XD
Deny it all you want you cunt. Nintendo sucks dick.
“Deny it all you want, you cunt. Microsoft sucks dick.”
Fixed.
lol
This article is somewhat misleading. If you go to gamasutra they specifically state that Indie developers were surveyed. Nintendo makes it quite difficult for any Joe Schmo to develop for it’s platform.
That is true. One of my instructors at school has his own gaming company and he confirmed that it takes a lot of money to develop for the major consoles, but is especially difficult for Nintendo because they have such a intense quality-check system.
If you develop a game using the Unity game engine for example, you have to pay Unity 30,000 to do the editing an quality-control check for you to decrease that chances of Nintendo rejecting your game.
Recently Nintendo has lifted some restrictions on develop requirements.
Yeah, I heard Nintendo’s become a lot more indie friendly, so maybe that was for past games that appeared on Wiiware or something…
Biggest loads of Misleading Bullshit i’ve read , no offense to anyone who got this info…
3DS seems to be doing just fine with only 2% of the worlds developers ? 3DS has loads of games from a wide variety of developers which proves that this is nonesense.
Right? If the 3DS’ current success is the result of 2% of developers, well, ok then.
I suppose that number would be right if they are counting anyone with any kind of developing history, in which case, I wouldn’t want the percent to gi much over 5%, else then we start seeing a flood of shitty games to sift through!
Exactly! 2% is the comfort zone , Wiiu with 4% is waltzing right into shovelware territory :P
Your damage control is of a cumbrous nature.
Cumbrous ?
Surveys are useless. They are based on opinion more than fact and can never be substantiated.
true
This is great for the Wii U, because it’s 11%

I don’t get why app games are even compared to console games. They are cheap shitty browser facebook games that rarely make good console ports. I test app games for a living and believe me when I tell you they are cheap shitty browser facebook games.
My words exactly the Android can’t run ps3 games or high end wii games
I´m happy as long as new games enter the videogame industry :)
I don’t give a shit.
We know that there are atleast 10 big games heading to the Wii U this year and many more.
I donlt count iShits or whatever as real game platforms
Well said bro
hahahahahahaha
This ladies and gentlemen is the reason you should all be happy that we also have eastern developers. In the west everything is treated like ‘pop’ music. Mass produced nonsense with a catchy beat i.e ” here is my number, call me maybe.” now you see the light lol.
Pop-Music is awesome.. don’t you dare hate!!! Yeah some sucks, a lot of is it awesome though.
Let me guess Nintendo is doom right
You know it!
Every generation is their last! :D
No surprise. I mean, who wants to make games for a console that’s not only underpowered, but also has a small userbase? I wouldn’t, and no other smart person would either.
and where is the vita? lol!!
lol ;D
The Vitanic has been out for like more than 1 year, and Wii U sales have soon reached its numbers after barely 4 months lololol.
It also dropped below 10k units in Japan faster than the Vita did. ;)
“lololol.”
Actualy this is the first time the vita sold more that 10,000
No, it isn’t and that’s a fucking lie.
You are the link king why dont you prove me wrong?
Why don’t you just look at the loads of past threads and stop being an idiot?
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/06/20/nintendo-3ds-thrashes-playstation-vita-despite-sales-boost-japan/
Fucking dumbass.
And it still sold thousands considering the massive drought dear ;)
Only because mindless Nintendo fans always wanted one. Now it’s bombing…everywhere.
Downplaying obvious success for the sake of convenience now.
Good job./sarcasm
Try sticking to facts. It doesn’t matter WHO bought them, you biased fuck-wad. It’s selling because gamers want it, and it’s as far from “bombing” as the Earth is from Mars.
A bunch of fanboy cuntfucks like you bought one, and it’s bombing, it’s a fact and the weekly charts continue to prove it in every fucking region. :)
I look forward to watching it dreamcast itself out of the real upcoming next-gen, with real games.
Try learning what a cunt is before you even talk about one, virgin faggot.
It’s not bombing in the slightest; you’re just a whiny little hater who’s sad that his precious little vita can’t out-do the 3DS.
The only thing that will “dreamcast itself out” this coming gen is Vita-fapping retards like you.
You and your little faggot pals were already proven wrong about the Wii U not getting any of the new big-name third-party titles and now you’re coming back in force to try and damage control at any opportunity.
Suck on it, bitch. You’re losing the war that you and your little faggot pals started.
Your tears are delicious, so please, cry moar. Link us to irrelevant articles to “prove” your inconsequential hater opinion while you stroke your E-peen to streaming porn on your Vitanic.
We’ll continue laughing as Nintendo keeps surviving despite all of your sad little predictions.:P
Denialfaggotry is so strong in this little Nintendo apologist bitch.
Tell me why the Shitbox 360 continues to sell like 5 times the Wii U every goddamn month, or why this system is actually tanking harder than the Vita in EU and recently plunged to quad digit figures faster than that “ill fated handheld”.
And yet ANOTHER ALT to ice this cake! Eric Sellers confirmed for basement dwelling foreveralone virgin with zero social life or friends who will only find solace and comfort in his shitty Company’s shitty products to appeal to baby gamers like him. It’s okay, someday the Wii U will be relevant among gamers…for like a week and then start tanking yet again, lmao.
Chances are he also has the voice of that of a prepubescent little teen. Call me up on Skype when you actually want to hurl some meaningful insults, wuss.
I bet he won’t be able to articulate. :)
The Wiiu has sold pretty much the same amount as the vita has already in Japan , after just 3 months…
“Sony’s PlayStation Vita handheld showed a slight uptrend in support, but from extremely low percentages. While less than 2% of respondents made their last game for the console, 4.2% are making their current game for Vita, and just over 5% plan to release their next game there. And North American developers are unconvinced of the Nintendo 3DS’s potential. 2% are currently making a 3DS game, and only 2.8% of developers plan to release their next game on the 3DS.”
Ironically looks like the Vita gets even more support than the 3DS…
LMAO.
But we still have better games, new sony slogan: vita the new home of shovelware. Hahahahaha
What better games? They don’t fucking exist if mine is still dusting to this day, along with the majority of people I know who own both and use their Vitas instead.
So because you and your buddies are too retarded to know a good game when you see one and you let your 3DS’s sit and rot, it doesn’t have any good games.
Nice logic, you biased fuck-wad.
Dude, instead of avoiding the question, how about mentioning some good games? I know one being Kingdom Hearts, I quite enjoyed it. Can’t wait for pokemon either.
Dude, you’re asking me to mention my idea of good games to a nintendo-hating troll.
Surely you realize how pointless an endeavor that is?
Well if that were the case, why did you even reply to him in the first place? Seeing as it is apparently a pointless endeavor when speaking to trolls?
Because he’s a dumbass.
This coming from the king of the dumb-asses.
Real rich, faggot.
Because I find his sad little attempts to argue back amusing.
That’s enough for me.
But you can’t even argue, you’re just a fucking idiot. You didn’t make any points, you didn’t accomplish shit, you can’t answer simple questions, and you’re a worthless little fuckwit.
You did nothing and you are nothing.
Meh. Still not interested in the Sony Vitamin anyway. I’ll just stick to my good old PS3 and wait a few years for that PS4.
The same poll in the Game Boy era would have given the same result. Western developers have never cared about handhelds.
Ah it’s from GDC. You really need to have the same survey conducted at E3 to get a better reflection of the industry.
Too many developers and publishers don’t attend GDC, specifically those in the East.
This includes developers who exclusively make iOS and Android games, anyone with basic programming knowledge can churn out a game for one of those platforms. Take away all of the phone game devs, and you’ve got a far more accurate picture.
You cannot compare Zelda and Angry Birds without looking like an idiot. Too bad gaming analysts do just that…
The only comparison is that they are both videogames.. lol!
What the hell?
This is only N. American developers… Also Nintendo also have the most first party titles compared to sony or microsoft. So this study is pointless.
This counts Smartphones ? if that so, we should just cut the developers exclusive to the smarthone area to actualy make the 360, PS3, Vita, 3DS and WiiU comparison real
They count everyone even the leapfrog developers.
Doesn’t mean a damn thing to me – 95% of developers (number drawn from my ass) are shit anyway, and to me Nintendo are always delievering, so as long as Nintendo supports the Wii U (derp derp), i’m fine with it, i don’t need 10 games each months, and with MH: Ultimate incoming, i’m gonna have something that can keep me busy for months! Still playing Xenoblade, so i am happy!
Who’s to say that the percent not making Wii U games are even good developers? They could all be crap and the 4.6 percent could be all the big hitting developers like Ubisoft, EA, Activision, SEGA, etc. Thats what really counts.
I think 4.6 percent means a LOT of developers, and being a Nintendo console, it pretty much covers all the major developers (EA, Ubi, Platinum Games, Capcom, Namco, Activision and all those developers we know) The thing is that, the market is so big these days, and there’s so many independent companies, that it’s hard to know. For being a new console, the WiiU is pretty much well supported.
Hope Nintendo brings another guys like From Software (dark souls) for their side too :D
Not bad, not bad at all. There’re hundreds of thouthands developers in the wild, some doesn’t even develop for consoles.
This is bullshit
Yeah dont listen to this, actually think for a second.
How many developers are 1. Good. And 2. Mobile game developers.
Just misinformed hate, again.
Also, liking the new layout Sickr/Alba
Nintendo is the only developer I care about for the Wii U
Why is Nintendo allowing 3rd Party developers to sell their Wii U console? Hurry the hell up bringing some real games. Nintendo needs to step up their game and know quality of games plus powerful graphics = $$$. I’m sick of this Nintendo fans stating to Sony fan boys that power ain’t everything. Because if it were true the Wii U wouldn’t lose to the Vita in sales.
you do know that was only in japan and price cuts sales always goes high in the coming weeks but then it goes down.
Yet the Vital looses to the 3DS :l I get you’re argument but the point defeats itself.
is this study is true then xbox and ps4 wont have a great year of the next.

Quoting the Gamespot Article;
“Developers showed little interest in the dedicated gaming market”.
Okay? Can you all read that and shut up?
LOL…Yoshi’s face…
