Right, well, I meant the hypothetical "you". A lot of Nintendo fans genuinely believe that third parties have nothing better to do than plan ways to fuck over Nintendo, rather than seeing third parties' actions as being based on demographics and market conditions. If they believe this, what did third parties show for the Wii U that would give them any hope that things are going to be different this time? Only Ubi showed a bunch of stuff, but they always seem to go in heavy for the launch of a new Nintendo platform, so nothing has changed there. And don't mistake me for a Sony fan, damn it! I may like the PS3 best at the moment, but earlier this generation I was over the moon about the 360. I fought the good fight against the hordes of Sony fanboys when I first arrived on the shores of VGChartz. (I was also about two years late to the party this gen because I was doing all my gaming almost exclusively on PC until I couldn't take not playing Dead Rising any longer.) So I'm not one for loyalty to any platform holder, and as I grew up on the NES and SNES, nothing would make me happier than to see Nintendo give me a reason to come back home. |
@bold. Rather, based on Nintendo's previous handling of the market and 3rd party relations, and cock-blocking 3rd parties from expanding their own intended markets on the platform. And the onus is still on Nintendo to show they are no longer cock-blockers, but the doubt is still there.
I really hope they give us the Nintendo of old, and offer content for everyone. But I'm sick of hoping, I've been a dedicated Nintendo fan for as long as you have, and I'm really tired of waiting for them to get their act together. Even still, the WiiU holds an inch of promise, I think I will latch on maybe one last time.
