Why have I already seen more PS3/V games doing what Nintendo claims Wii-U is all about? 3. We have already seen Nintendo try this. The sales on those games weren't stellar. Getting people to have expensive multiple controllers together to play a game is difficult. It'd be like playing 4 swords or crystal chronicles. Insanely prohibitive cost investments that ultimately don't make it worth while. Having a screen in your hands is not a new way to interact with a home console. All Wii-U offers is increased graphical power over the Wii. 5. They said it can but they are looking at it with one in mind. I don't care what it can do I care what it will do. 6. Money grubbing publishers charging more for online. I'm sure they do like it that way but I don't necessarily think thats good for the customers. |
1&2. Doubting Nintendo is your prerogative. But the reason there's more PS3/V seen so far is because, well, Nintendo hasn't shown any games yet that will be on the Wii U, just demos.
3. Comparing the capabilities of the Wii U and the GC/GBA is flawed. The Wii U is far more capable and interactive than the GC/GBA could ever hope to be. Do you really believe that the GC/GBA could stream a full console game onto the screen or get multiple views of games from above, behind, etc. And something like that ninja-star demo from the Wii U trailer? So no, Wii U offers far more than just graphical power over Wii.
5. They are concerned about price when considering buying three additional controllers, but clearly it can support more than one for at least some games. They've even mentioned the fact that friends bringing their controllers over is likely. I'm sure you couldn't stream Crysis 2 flawlessly to three or more controllers and the TV at once, but do you think Madden wouldn't support two screen-based controllers when all it would require is streaming play-calling? Doubtful.
6. No, from what I understand some companies complain about annoying restrictions on Xbox Live, for example, and would prefer more freedom.
