| Kudistos Megistos said: Based on their recent behaviour, no. And the reason for their failings in this generation is not the lack of games (although the lack of games and the failure have a common cause). It's their arrogance. Sony took everything for granted, charged too much money and cheated their customers (which resulted in them getting hacked). Unless there are some big changes in Sony's philosophy, they won't do well next generation. |
Those are major failings that Nintendo has too. Nintendo never really addressed its faults. They rode in on the backs of a new casual audience, which meant they didn't have to really address their shortcomings this time around too. But now that these same people can buy the same kinds of cheesy games the Wii had for 99 cents on an iPhone or iPad, I wouldn't bet on them to buy the Wii U. Nintendo's current strategies with the 3DS show the same kind of arrogance that helped Sony into first place to begin with - a steep price and the cynical belief that people will buy it just because it's a Nintendo handheld.
Frankly, Nintendo's going to have to work a lot harder to get me to buy a Wii U than Sony will for the PS4.
