I guess "less powerful" is up to interpretation. It's the SNES vs GEN/MD all over again. Prettier effects vs Blast Processing. Even back then Nintendo had a slower processor and better graphics and that went ok. And the Wii had slower everything and that did ok. Nintendo may be the underdog, but it is a role it's had before.



Some other tidbits -

Nintendo are still operating like it's 1990. They should have "done a Sega" and offered Mario/Zelda as PS4/Durango exclusives

It is an utterly intentional decision to focus our resources on markets which actually matter ... like mobile, and Gen4.

Yep, we've got plenty of problems, but WiiU isn't where that family/casual market is. It's on mobile/tablet now!



                            

Wonder of all people inside EA think the same way, that would explain a lot.



Nintendo and PC gamer

Yeah, 3rd party sells 60% of all games on the Wii, but only "Mario and Zelda" make revenue...this guy has no clue of what he is talking about. Revenue-wise Zelda isn't that big of a franchise for Nintendo anymore. Super Smash Bros. is bigger.



Around the Network

I hope Nintendo can turn it around soon. They have to get Square Enix or someone because it's clear they can't just rely on 1st party games alone. Ubisoft is just about the only 3rd party (oh and Sega) who seem to care about the Wii U.



He sounds pretty mad, he needs to chill out and play some Mario Party.

EDIT: Though honestly it's a bit worrying if this is common talk from 3rd parties.



That's just unprofessional.



Somebody is a tad bit upset.



s*** EA mad about dat origin
