This writer has too much faith in the internet masses using logic and reasoning.


When was the last time that internet masses (when related to gaming) ever use logic? (they sure did use reasoning but all of the reasioning had no logic behind it whatsoever)

ok ok there's always going to be those guys but I think general consensus (spelling?) is that Vita and WiiU are DOOOOOOOMED!!! while 3DS and PS3 are winning their respective markets.  Now I must plug that I think WiiU has a much better chance than Vita at recovering just because of the more mass appeal of their IPs.  It's not a sure thing however as Mario, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros sold wonderfully on Gamecube and N64 yet those systems weren't the biggest movers.  Nintendo knows how to make money though.  Imagine how much more they make per game created than Sony.  Sony spends gonzo dollars to make 3 Uncharted games this gen each getting its own marketing and other expenses and each suffering the predictable drop once the successor arises.  Go to Nintendo and they have a game like Mario Kart or a game like Brawl where they basically say "If you have a Wii and want this series you buy this one."  They only devlope one game and yet it keeps selling through the whole gen.  The only game Sony really has that they can do that with is GT.

That's my 2 cents worth I'm just happy that by 2015 I'll be enjoying WiiU, PS4, and possibly even a 3DS in all their glory (PS4 at launch, WiiU BF 2014, and 3DS maybe next Summer if the price is right for the Pokemon themed Red one)

Yeah, that makes sense. I think the U will recover too. Some people just like to hate on Nintendo, it's a fact of life. They just resent what Nintendo stands for. So they'll even hate on the 3DS.

But you're right, in general they tend to harp at the U, but like you said in time the sales will prove Nintendo right yet again, and the doubters will have their feet in their mouths.

The thing is that many of them just can't understand that Nintendo makes money and lifts their consoles on their own, without the need for 3rd party games. The 3rd party games come after. Most anti-Nintendo users have a blockage and will never understand that basic principle.

The WiiU is still dead though.


A console isnt dead until its officially discontinued. Wii U isnt dead...........its in a coma. It can wake up and go on to live a normal healthy life or it could never recover and pass away.

Yeah, I know, I'm so sick of people saying that the 3DS and Pokemon X/Y are going to bomb.

Exactly. It disgusts me. Especially all the people who think Digimon is going to crush Pokemon and that the Vita will pass the 3DS this year.

Why would Nintendo bashing stop? Everyone with any sense knows pokemon will do good, it doing good will do nothing really except establish pokemon as the handheld game king...which really doesn't need to be established.

2ds, I don't think it was a bad idea, but I don't think it will do that good.

Most Nintendo bashing is against the WiiU, and until the WiiU starts doing good...Nintendo bashing will grow. There is no paradigm shift if everything goes well on October 12th

I find the many negative comments from gaming industry professionals rather disturbing.

For example something in line of:
"I'm a nintendo fan. I just wish to play their games on other platforms... and wouldn't have to buy one of their platforms..."

It's like they say...

I love grandma - creepy pauze - i just hopes she dies very soon so i can get her stuff.

Yeah, that's how mean it sounds :(.
