what is it with the troll magnet threads always being about Nintendo's big steaming pile of fail?
Need we remind how BK360 failed or how Hawks failed or Wanted or any other title on a huge list of games, that should have sold amazingly for a core demographic, failed. Mirrors Edge, even Dead Space sold 1.5 mill between both systems. Ironically Wii suffers with the onrails crap even when core gamers don't enthusiastically snap all these titles up.
A- Conduit will do better than the cynics believe and that is enough for me.
B- WM+ is kind of irrelevent until the release of WSR, though EA will push their tennis and golf games hard. Im expecting their ad push to get excellent launch results while WSR will ape anything EA does.
C- Nintendo will have the best E3 pres, they know what they need to do and it will consist of announcements and news on par with DQ and MH3 in japan. Cynics can/will insist the competitors will have better E3 pres. but the truth is neither company can keep a secret like Nintendo can and this will be detrimental in terms of "wow" factor. He who brings the wow will win E3. No PS360 fanboy will openly admit to this though.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
