A game can flop when it comes to costumer satisfaction, even though it sold well.. Just like the new iphone. The costumers not happy.

The games had good sales, so they werent 'flops'. You could start by saying they failed to meet some consumers demands. Also there are quite a number of titles that came out on XBL Gold and PSN Plus that kept their customers happy. Its not every months offering that was good but at least they had games to play.

Titanfall? So a new IP with an 86 on Metacritic and 2 million sales to a 5 million install base is now considered a "flop". What exactly does a game have to do to not flop?


Not be made/published by EA, Activision,Ubisoft or Square Enix.


Haha ;---D true, actually.. Ive never enjoyed a game from those companies... Especially not ea, ubisoft or activision. Square enix are fnr lets cutem som slack

as for this debate, dont take it so seriously.. Just rambling



This kind of baiting thread really has no place here. Without any empirical evidence and with a handful of generalizations and stereotypes, it won't trigger anything positive.



This is the revenge to all those nintendoomers out there the system might underperform, but the software and quality is as fine as ever. Time to start ps4softwarecowshit threads instead ;-p joking



Nintendo fans: We are so satisfied with our system and games that we are not going to by the system or the games.... OP how does that make sense?? WiiU sales are in the tank and somehow you get from this that people are more satisfied? Also, a small minority out of the millions who bought destiny are not satisfied and yet you conclude that it is a lot of people. If you look from investors to gamers to actual sales, the company with the least satisfaction is Nintendo. But whatever helps you feel better believe what you want but like most in this thread have told you, you beliefs and opinions don't square with concrete facts like sales and not debatable opinions like "left with a bad taste in their mouth". What a joke.

Obvious bait thread.

Those Wii U games only satisfied Nintendo fans, that's why they bought the console in the first place. In the case of ps4 and xbox one owners, some multiplatform games underperformed critically speaking but that will be fix with games like Assassin's creed unity, far cry 4 and many other games..


You keep telling yourself and your 800-1200 dollars invested in the system that ;--p haha.. Just joking. 

Time will tell.. But for now, im hyped as Fffffiddyfuddy for smash wii u and bayo ^^ you can have ur... Ummm, 8 installment of assasins in the last 6 years.. Im sure the game has changed aloooot.. New ground textures... Ummm... Dirt on the assasins coat... Gonna be a revolutionry blast!

oh, and als hyrule warriors and mk8 dlc to keep me warm in the meantime.. Forgot to mention toad treasure tracker..


Wtf??? So Hyrule warriors is just dynasty warriors with a zelda skin pack? Smash Bros for Wii U  is just Smash Bros with new characters in HD? Treasure tracker is just a minigame from SM3D but they are making a full lenghty game from it?

I'm well known to be the most serious person on this forum.



I prefer Alien Isolation, The Evil Within or Shadow of mordor more than any game on the Wii U right now...

Titanfall, hyped hyped and down the drain. Left people feeling underwhelmed... A c-title.. Still sold great.

destiny..... Sold well... Most were left with bad taste in their mouth.

watch dogs... Good sales.. Mixed reception among costumers..

now.. Wii u titles.. Mario kart 8, costumers loved it. Pikmin 3, costumers luuuvd it. Tropical freeze, those who played it call it the greatest platformer in years. Super mario 3d world, folks had a blast. I could go on and on.

Why is it that nintendo costumers are more satisfied with the finished software products and enjoy their gaming experience, as opposed to ps4 owners and xboxone owners being underwhelmed?

why do ps4 sell so well when the games do not satisfy the costumers?¹ And why dont wii u sell better when people are much more satisfied with the software?²

¹ Who said it didn't satisfy?

²Most people will only have ONE console so they will choose the one with bigger/better support.

WiiU,although first party support is great, has a shitty to non-existent third party support and the first party support is not enough to solve the drought problems all nintendo consoles had since N64.Besides,the first party games are too Family-friendly/cartoonish to the AAA-public's taste.

Xone suffers from the oposite.It has a great third party support but first parties are too few.They try to compensate moneyhating third parties for temporary exclusives(like peggle 2,plant vs zombie,Rise of tomb raider,etc...) or "exclusives" that eventually comes to PC(dead rising 3 ,ryse,project sparks,etc..) but it's not working because people are aware of that.Plus,the third party games look worse on xone than ps4 so it makes Xone look "redundant".

The reason why people are jumping on the PS4,besides good PR/image, is the fact that not only PS4 has a great third party support,but also thanks to the sony's well known first party studios,it will have a lot of exclusives.(even if right now,there is only a few)

The true is,people saw the amazing PS3 first party line-up and they expect the same of PS4.Personally,I know a lot of people(in real life and on internet) that regret the fact that they pick x360 early last gen and they jumped/plan to jump on the ps4 this time.
