Activision Apparently Forced Nintendo To Release Wii U Pro Controller
“I think that essentially this is a solution in search of a problem,” Pachter said, speaking at Develop in the UK last week, as reported by Edge.
“I mean, somebody had an idea – ‘let’s make the controller a tablet’ – and there aren’t many games that are going to take advantage of that. Activision never said anything to me, but I know that [for] big games like Call Of Duty they said, ‘No, we’re not putting it on there if you don’t give us a conventional controller’. So they gave in.”
Nintendo confirmed the Pro Controller – a traditional format controller in the model of 360′s pad – at E3 this year.
Pachter went on to say that Wii U as a concept is likely to fail.
“I don’t think they suck – I just think that they really believe that, ‘If we’re still novel, everything we do will work’. This isn’t going to work,” he said.
“Hardcore gamers will buy them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could put out a piece of cardboard and say that it’ll play Mario and they’ll buy it.”
Wii U releases this year.

I think that wanted to make more money with this, so they threatened them to leave, Wii U got afraid thinking they can't make profit. So they released it and now their both making profit.
