RUMOR - Devs down on Wii U at DICE, say projects being cancelled

Coming from Mario Wynands, the co-founder of Sidhe Interactive...

At DICE, nobody has been talking about the new Wii U projects they have started, only the Wii U projects that have just been cancelled. Platform is in serious trouble. Publishers and developers from the US, UK, France, Germany, and Australia mainly. Pubs and devs never recoiled from PS3 like they seem to be with Wii U (though this is anecdotal). There was always the confidence that the numbers would get there over time with PS3. I'm not sensing that with Wii U. I had a data point yesterday at lunch with a high budget Wii U game that was hoping to sell "millions" over time. It only managed "tens of thousands". It is one of the top rated games for the platform.

Not the kind of news we want to hear. If true, let's hope Nintendo can turn things around at GDC. Thanks to Dim for the heads up!
