Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS4 and XBONE are in for the same drought as WiiU

even if this is true it wont effect them like it did Wii U, PS4Xbone will have better opening sales on HW and software. and i suspect people will keep buying the launch games for at least a few months.

Hahahahaha.

WiiU lanches without the ability to play 8th gen games, and doesn't showcase any graphical prowess over the much cheaper, and already established, PS3 and xbox.

Saying it is down to simply how many games are out is just wrong. People here are really clutching at straws trying to big up the WiiU.

Wii U games are 8th gen, categorically. To state otherwise is revisionism.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I'm talking specifically about the "WiiU has no games PS4/XBO have many" statement, argue about graphics somewhere else please


There's a lot more to it than just numbers. The ps4 and xbox offer the multiplats people want. 

that's is simply non sense all of what they offer are on PS3/360



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

My opinion is right and yours is wrong

We don't know yet.

Pikmin and Rayman went from launch titles, to Feb, to August before they finally emerged.

Infamous was never a day 1 release, just launch window, Drive club has slipped, however if they come out in the March, it's still not in the same league as the Wii U slippage (I bought a Wii U day 1 with Pikmin and Rayman being the primary titles I wanted).

If they slip again, then yes time to complain, but as it is they're still "launch window". Wonderful 101 I never realised was even meant to be a launch window title so meh, that didn't affect me personally.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Yeah i noticed that, WiiU extreme delays are the main reason for anger but forme it didn't matter a lot

No. WiiU didn't have a drought if you just count any old games. WiiU had a drought in decent noticeable software, something xbox one definitely does not have.

December: Halo SA, Peggle 2, Xbox Fitness
January: D4, Spinal DLC for KI
February: Rayman Origins, Thief
March: Titanfall, Fulgore DLC for KI, Elder Scrolls Online
April: PVZ Garden Warfare, Kinect Sports Rivals

Q1/Q2: Project Spark, Watchdogs, Fantasia and Destiny



 

i don't think so

i don't refer to nintendohating MS/Sonyfanboy but just to the reactions.
Drought= shortage of liquidity=thirsty?

If we take a look at Wii U owners and how they have reacted when Rayman was delayed:
This was a 100% sign of drought,as rayman is nobody on nintendo systems.
Rayman sold less on Wii than on ps3(and i think even less on non-jump'n'run system 360)
rayman sold even on 3ds less than on vita.

But the delay was reason for a huge shitstorm.
I can't imagine a delay of a game like rayman for ps4,xb1 would cause 5% of the outrage we have seen on Wii U.

The difference is simple:
Wii U owners were not interessted in buying the  available games 
Ps4/xbox 1 owners will buy AC,Batman,Cod,Fifa etcetc=they will be busy using their system.

Another difference ps4/xb1 are offering Big Budget games at release:Ryse,Forza,Killzone,Driveclub(jan.) and(maybe) knack.
Nintendo offered:Another 2d mario(though a 2d mario was released not long ago on 3ds=fatigue)and shovelware minigames Nintendoland: both can be compared with Downloadgames .

Wii U no games? 100% Wrong.
Wii U no games people want to buy?=100% right.

ps4/xb1 more games than wii U first 6 month? i don't think so.
but people will buy those games available instead of boycotting them and won't wait until Sony/MS are ready to
deliver in house exclusive



I always thought the 'drought' that people (mostly Nintendo fans) got upset about was the one from the end of March (after Mon Hunter and Lego City) up till the end of July (Pikmin). I think that was the 4 months people were irate about because the launch games had been played to death by that point. I mean that was one third of a year with very sparse pickings. I think maybe Game and Wario maybe came out in that block but I'm not sure what else?



Except for the fact that wiiU games really aren't good.
