Bethesda undecided on Wii U, cautious on next-gen consoles
Hines tells Videogamer that Bethesda is, in general, cautious of the next round of consoles. "For me the problems with new consoles are two-fold. The developers are trying to hit a moving technical target, because the platforms are being built. A new console doesn't just show up a year before launch and is exactly what it will be when it comes out. It moves and iterates along the way. And introducing something like that to games that are in development is always a bit tricky. And that is obviously an element of risk."
New systems also split the active audience, Hines says, though it goes without saying that Bethesda's pragmatic approach doesn't preclude support for upcoming systems. If there's a big enough audience, it won't be left wanting for dragons and cheese wheels.

theartftw The idea of making a port to the wiiu sounds awesome, but at the same time from the developers end... you have to understand it would be a pain.
Not to mention, if they made it for one console on the next gen everyone will want it on the PS4/720 whatever they will be called.
Well the wii's are cheaper so most of the time its for taking around and or for littler kids as I say most of the time. But I think it should be worth it they need to improve.

It would be pretty good on the Wii U. But imagine how good it will be on the 720 and PS4, I could imagine the graphics being amazing.
