I still love and replay the first Borderlands to this day.
I own both 1 and 2 and I feel BL1 was the better game due to its gear and level scaling being far better than BL2, despite the story not being all that.

However, unless they released the collection of BL 1, 2, and the Pre-Sequel, with all their DLC at once, at the same time as other systems got it, I would not be able to justify repurchasing any part of the series on the NX.
When my PS3 still suffices just fine to play the first entry, it would be a waste of money to re-purchase it unless they made the content of the collection worth my while.

I mis-spoke on that point. My bad.

If the screenshot in question had a solid story to reference back to, I'd have used that as a source.
But since I have no website of my own and cannot track down the origin of the pic, this is the best I can show for now.

The most I know is that it cropped up first on either Twitter or Reddit.
And in either case, we've seen rumors with far less convincing evidence come true out of places like that before now, but still: it's just a rumor. Nothing more or less.

Hence why I put a "might" in the title: this should be treated as the rumor it is until further notice.

It was both.
Nintendo didn't have the first party ready like they should have to hook more Nintendo gamers that left during the Wii era, and third parties failed to deliver games strong enough to drive their own fanbases into being interested upgrading from a PS360 to a Wii U for them.

The only ones denying that both Nintendo and third parties screwed up the Wii U's first year, at this point, are fanboys and apologists.

And after how Ubisoft treated the system's fans, they got their just desserts in the form of lower sales than they wanted.
Which is ironic, considering last I heard, Zombi U has actually sold somewhere around half a mill or more despite not deserving it, and Rayman similarly got higher sales than it deserved on Wii U after exclusivity was broken and the game held back despite being ready for release.
Let's not pretend they were somehow virtuous after all the crap they've pulled.

True points, but just because the concerns aren't new doesn't make them any less hazardous.
The Wii U didn't exactly benefit from having older games like Mass Effect 3 and CoD Black Ops II heading up it's launch.

People keep pointing out that new titles just aren't financially smart for third parties in Nintendo's case.
But I'd argue that older games are more likely to fail harder than newer ones, and to drag newer ones down with them in the process once trust fades.
Wii U's first and second years are strong evidence of this, especially since there were far fewer truly new titles from third parties to choose from, thus making it far more difficult to get an accurate gauge of how well or poorly third parties would sell if they reversed the balace on NX, by leading with more new games than old ones.

Compared to the experiment of leading off with old ports that they tried and failed to profit off of with Wii U, I would like to believe that new fresh AAA games, at least one per AAA Third Party, have a better chance of selling, if they are interesting enough to pull gamers from outside the NX into buying it.

At the very worst, it can't be nearly as guaranteed to fail as having Advanced Warfare and Bioshock Collection become the type of norm for the NX's launch lineup would.

People love and greatly desire new and exciting experiences.
By that simple logic alone, third parties should try their luck with new stuff more than old, especially when they're attempting to generate sales for a whole new console.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
