The Next-Gen Console War is Wii U's to Lose

[DieAppleDie]

Ill be serious for a sec. and give u my two cents.

I think WiiU doesnt have the chance of recovery at this point, and by recovery i mean being the dominace force like Wiis been since 2006.
I really think Nintendo shouldve had WiiU rolling with a Mario3D and Mario kart already in the market for christmas 2012 and the promise of Bayo2, ZeldaWwHD, X etc. in the near future. A spring 2012 launch and a strong holiday shouldve put WiiU WAY stablished for a new console to break in and start doing good numbers, let alone two...


Well, maybe they thought 3rd parties would help a lot more given the cash they made them earn with Wii being a shovelware paradise, or they underestimated the jump to much more powerful hardware...

About Sony and Msoft, i find really hard to believe that they will perform any better than WiiU, sincerely, i expect a decent start with a big fall coming on last quarter fiscal year 2013, just like WiiU now, plus we will see many cross platform games that will even decelerate more the transition to next gen.


All in all, the industry is going to contract a lot, half because Wii craze is gone, half because of the lack of the groudbreaking 'thing' (motion controls, HD, DVD, 3D grafix etc..) needed to catch peoples attention.

I see what Nintendo is trying to do with WiiU, thay want it to be a home family computer, like if it was a domotics device, the center of the home which every member of the family can interact with in various ways...which is actually what they have been trying to achieve since...ever.
From a gamers perspective, this can easily be the greatest generation ever, whith grafix already hitting photorealism and complex online communities being the common denominator.
Only the jump in graphics already makes WiiU worth it imho. Just imagine the next Zelda and 3D Mario!!!!.....oh god i cant wait!!!!!!
