| sethnintendo said: Sorry, I was looking for someone that spoke of the consoles' graphic power and decided to attach myself to you since I like you the most. Seems like the new generation of gamers expect home consoles to be on par with current computers. That thinking is pure idiotic. You might as well be a PC gamer only if you think like that. Asking for the most bleeding edge tech in a home console system is only asking the company to set themselves up for failure. |
No, I agree. It's strange that people still assume that putting out an underpowered console means doom, especially when Nintendo has made money hand over fist doing just that. But Nintendo seems to be banking on similar third party support to MS and Sony this time around, and I'm not sure third parties won't basically abandon them in a year or two if Vigil's recent statement that Wii U is merely on par with the PS3/360 is true. Still, like I said, that the Wii U's gimmick just doesn't strike me as a very good one is my real concern. Hopefully there's a "Wii Sports" in the works for it that will show everyone why this is such a brilliant thing, but for right now I'm just not seeing it.
But I don't really want anyone to fail out of the console market. Both Sony and Nintendo have shown bad tendencies when they've been dominant, and Microsoft has shown horrible ones without ever being truly dominant. The competition has been nothing but good, IMO.
