| Killy_Vorkosigan said: To OP : I agree you point, however, in our world of gaming, I do think that what is more important than the innovation in gameplay, are games themselves. Also, I'd like to point out that I (I think I can say we !) had high expectation with the Wii. But, I felt completely let down by Ninty in term of games these last years. Don't get me wrong, 2007/2008 was just awesome for wii owners, with the avalanche of very good games and sheer fun. But since that time, nothingness. And that made me a happy PC/PS3 gamer ^^ offtopic : About the Wii U pro controller, remember where the Xbox's ABXY pattern comes from guys ? Hint : SNES ! |
The games matter to sustain a platform, and keep it viable. However, as it is now, with most things multi-platform, about the only way to end up differentiating is to offer a unique experience with the console. You need to have a differentiating hook. The Wii did this, but at the cost of third-party because the experience was too different. Wii U is set to try to address this by having third-party stuff, but by offering probably the best price-point approach to dual screens on the system.
And in regards to the controller, one had to figure that Nintendo would eventually get their own. It is like every system has to have something like what the PS3 and 360 have. Heck, I believe even OnLive has this. I have a PC controller that is like it. Issue is where the analog sticks are.
