So I'll ask you again, do you honestly think they'll give the Wii U multiple user accounts and yet still tie the software to the hardware instead of the user accounts?

It's not wishful thinking, it's not what I want to hear, it's obvious logic based on what has already been stated.  

Your "Wii can do 1080p" analogy doesn't fit.   Becuase there is not logical basis to translate "Wii can do 1080p" to mean that every game will run at 1080p.   What I'm explaining to you is soundly logical.   You're also missing that major media outlets agree with me but NONE of the major media outlets ever said all Wii U games will run at 1080p...only fanboys or those with limited understanding of video game and computer hardware would make such a claim.    So don't equate what I, and other media people (yes, I'm in the media), are telling you based on logic with fanboy supposition.

So I'll bring it back to my staement above.  Do you honestly think they'll give the Wii U multiple user accounts and yet still tie the software to the hardware instead of the user accounts?


true fact - ps3 supports mulitple user accounts and yet still ties the software to the hardware.   still confident that your logical conclusion is sound?  i'm not, i'll wait to see what nintendo actually announces before jumping to conclusions.

Is that what you mean by tied to the hardware?  Game saves are tied to hardware, not software.  You've completely missed what everybody asking about tied to hardware or user account means. 

 

One more fact to throw out there.  Notice how they expicitly stated that 3DS games would be tied to the hardware because it would have a single user account?   Why then didn't they say the same thign regarding the Wii U and the multiple user accounts?


I'm not sure what to make of your question.  when i purchase a game on psn i can download it to my ps3 and the game is tied to the specific ps3 i download it to.  if the ps3 breaks or whatever i lose that license.  now sony makes it someone okay-ish by giving me 3 licenses (so up to 3 machines) but it is still tied to the machine.  if i have have bad luck and break 3 ps3's - poof - my game purchase is unavailible for me to play on my 4th ps3.  my only option to get around this machine locking is to use the ps3 to ps3 transfer.   this allows me to move all of the licenses from machine A to B deleting all files on A after the move.

so no, i'm not talking about game saves.

Just so you know, you can 'deactivate' that software on a particular PS3, so your games will never be 'lost' to discarded hardware. I'm not sure what the procedure is because I've never done it myself.
