Wii U: Nintendo 'Needs More Exclusives' To Beat PS3, Xbox 360 - Pachter
Michael Pachter tells us what Nintendo needs to do for the future of Nintendo's Wii U.
Despite the launch issues surrounding the Wii U, Nintendo has had a fairly successful launch. It's not clear skies for the new console, however, as Pachter believes it still has a lot of work to do to bring in the core console market. Speaking with NowGamer, Pachter said there was "no telling what Nintendo has planned," and that the Wii U still needs to convince a large group of people. "I'm still not sold on the console as being significantly different than current generation consoles," said Pachter, "and am interested personally only in the exclusive software." It's the Nintendo-made games that will ultimately sell the console, claims Pachter: "I think that Nintendo needs more exclusives to differentiate the Wii U, and am pessimistic that they will be able to deliver them next year." Pachter is also down on Nintendo's capabilities with online functionality, too. "In particular, it is essential that the Wii U has the same online multiplayer functionality as the others, or they will have trouble attracting Call of Duty players, for example." Whether Nintendo will manage this or not Pachter didn't say, but it's clear Nintendo still has a lot of work to do. Will you be buying a Wii U this week, or are you letting Nintendo's next-gen console pass you by? Kinda like stating the obvious? I'm guessing he's talking about 3rd party support or something, because Wii U got... like... Nintendo games?
