Insomniac CEO Ted Price confused a whole load of people when he took to Reddit last week. In a Q&A with site visitors, he referred to Nintendo's Wii U as 'current-gen' and said there were no plans to develop for it. He's since clarified that stance, adding that Insomniac isn't ruling out future Wii U projects.
"We have to be selective because it’s easy to start to stretch yourself too thin. So we’re careful about where we go," Price said in an interview with Digitally Downloaded. "One of the questions I got a lot of early on was ‘why aren’t you developing for the Wii U?’ and the answer was simply bandwidth.
"We had to focus on delivering a great game on multiple platforms, but there’s a point where we had to make hard choices, and for us we needed to limit the number of platforms for FUSE…but we’re not ruling out anything in the future. We are a content creator and we want to reach as large of an audience as we can."
Insomniac is currently hard at work with bringing FUSE to PS3 and Xbox 360 at the moment. We should probably give the studio some space to finish that first.

There are two ways to go.
Developers can take a risk and bet that Nintendo will make their console a success. If it pans out, they have quality software in play as the system begins to become popular and will have a large headstart on their competition. Or developers can play it safe and stick with the known entities. If Nintendo pulls it off, then they have to play catch up but they don't risk anything if the Wii U fails.
