So what I get from this is that Iwata & co. caved in to public pressure? Sure looks like they did.
How is it that they miss the fact that the third parties need them more than they need the third parties?
"Evolve", hah. They're just trying to capture both audiences, and as I see it now, this will only end up in alienating them. |
no third parties dont need them, you want support for your console, you have to do things to get support for your console. Sony does it, MS does it, what makes Ninty so special that they thought they didnt need to do this. I for one am happy with this direction, they are taking, they are serious about getting 3rd party support
|
They are heading toward ruin. They are trying to capture a userbase that has no interest whatsoever in their consoles.
|
because their console didnt have the games that that userbase wanted and if it happen to have it, it was far worse than the competitions. You have the games people will go to you, you dont they wont, that simple
|
Because multiplats are gonna sell it, oh yeah.
|
Most gamers arent fanboys that hate on Ninty just to hate them, let that go. AND LOL! Really ?? What you think millions of people bought the PS1 despite Sony being an unknown in gaming, because of their 1st party?? PS2 is the best selling console of all time because of Sony's 1st party??? Ratchet & Clank is not that cool
|
Third party exclusives. And by then, they will almost "exclusively" be done for. Sony's first party? Never said that. Try Ridge Racer, GTA, Final Fantasy, Tekken, and so on.
And no, most teen-young adult gamers have no affection for Nintendo, and most see it as kiddy thanks to the fine efforts by Sega, Sony, and Microsoft (more Xbox than MS, but Xbox IS MS :P ). That is the demographic they're trying to capture, and that is the demographic that will be well occupied by PS3 and 360 until they are both succeeded. Multiplats aren't gonna win them any new sales, especially by the time it releases against a cheaper PS3 and 360 with far more robust libraries and a fine hardcore name to them. The WiiU is not a name, but a shot in the foot as far as that demographic goes.

i kinda see where you are coming from, all that means is that Ninty has to work hard to get some exclusive 3rd party support. They seem to be doing that with 3DS, somewhat. Lets see how it goes with WiiU and if it is really more "powerful" that some of the rumors suggest, im sure graphic whores will jump ship
|
The third party on 3DS, I think, came of their own desire to make money without any encouragement... the 3DS is the successor to such a massive handheld that by missing out on it, you're missing out on good money. With the WiiU, however, you are correct. Nintendo will need to SWEAT for it, but only by games can it win. That's how the PS2 won, the Wii won, and so on (unless you mean HD owners shifting to WiiU, I don't expect graphics to come out on top - I expect appeal and word of mouth to). Power-wise, they were lulzy compared to the competition. Don't listen to any console graphic whore, console graphics wars are hilarious next to the stuff the PC puts out. These days, you can have an absolutely awesome gaming rig, based on an i5 2500k, relatively cheaply.
@Ail: I can get that as well. Perhaps this marketing was a key part in the "kiddy" appeal and marketing Nintendo consoles suffer from.
