Activision strongly hints at more Wii U support
"We take out time to get our ducks in a row before pulling any trigger. We don't have announcements today but we will be supporting Wii U." - Activision Publishing boss Eric Hirshberg
"I think it's interesting to think about all the platforms. Just in general, that's part of my job as a studio head, working with Activision on assessing where our creative can live. How can people experience it? We obviously have been a Nintendo developer for many years and have created many Call of Duty games on the Nintendo platform. [Wii U] is clearly a more powerful platform than its predecessor and... they have obviously a unique controller and interface.
And they announced a Pro Controller which appears to be a controller that would be really good for first person shooter games. It just so happens that's what we specialize in. So that's an interesting development and then they have that touch display device and you think about the kinds of things you might be able to do and - without getting into specifics - I absolutely have given it consideration and thought. We're game developers and it's a new piece of hardware and technology, so we're always thinking about that stuff.
It's difficult to say because it's something we're not talking about. I'm intentionally being elusive because we're not talking about it!" - Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia
Listen, we already know that Activision is supporting the Wii U. Skylanders: Giants is on the way, and earlier today we got confirmation on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Why does the company insist on still being so secretive?
