Kerotan said: Ninty need to swallow their pride and drop the tablet and release a much cheaper Wii U. If it launched without that and much cheaper it would be doing a little better now over all. It's like the kinect. Just an add on most people don't want, especially not at the extra cost. |
I disagree with you, while A gamepad is not essential or mandatory to play console games, in this case: the WiiU, the large majority of the games use it in a mandatory way.
You would have to rewrite & retool the code of all the games existing, patch them, redo the console OS, drop a unique, differentiating way of playing for what, maybe a few thousand sales? All the games would have to be retooled, you certainly can see how it doesn't make sense at all.
If you simply remove the gamepad on the WiiU, the console does not work, hence my car engine comparison. To make the WiiU work without the Pad would take enormous amount of time, money for an hazardous outcome.
It takes at least between 1 & 2 years to make a game, so games without the gamepad would start releasing in 2 years, near the end of the WiiU life cycle, can't see that happening or anyone interested in dropping money on such an hazardous venture. I'm sure you can agree with that?
