You dude seem to be trailing some stuff back from past threads, like someone who uses toilet paper to wipe the socket and forgets a part of it stuck between the cheeks and tails it around like the lower part of a wedding dress. My answer, 2D Mario is awesome. Nintendo has set the the foundation of platformers and are possibly the epitome of such genre in gaming.

My bet, in the best case scenario, Nintendo won't have as much success as the PS4 and the NewMicro. They would have to be really lucky to get as much success as the Wii this time around. But it is possible, not likely.

Good bet, you seem confident. I say the WiiU will whipe the floor with the Playstation 4. How does that appeal to you? Microsoft will tout its smart glass to the industry, and what will Sony have to show? Nothing. Either exactly what WiiU has, or something better at 3 times the price. Streaming? Yeah, dey'll have it. But it won't sell consoles! Games sell consoles, and as awesome as some of Sony's IPs are, they don't sell consoles. Even Microsoft beat them and they have nothing in comparison to Sony.

Peuh, laughable. A 600$ gimmick!

That's possible. If Sony didn't learn their lesson with their previous price point they'll end up the same way. What will Sony have is the same thing they have right now that makes them the best selling console worldwide these days. Smart glass won't do anything at all, it is an interesting concept that won't have a groundbreaking implementation from the start, maybe in the future.

What you dude are not considering and Nintendo for that matter is how many of those fans that bought the Wii will do the same with the WiiU. Those fans that nowadays think that WiiU is an add-on of the Wii, those fans that are not part of the core of Nintendo fans, those fans that possibly will look at the WiiU and not be interested. Nintendo still doesn't know how many of those that bought the Wii will again go an buy their next console, but they still think their next console will have the same support and from there I draw comparisons between PS2 and PS3. Nintendo nowadays is at the same spot that was Sony previously, taking bets and acting as if reaching the #1 spot assures they will be there eternally.

You know what also helps selling platforms? Multiplatform games and what is the certainty that Nintendo has of having parity with the other onsoles in ports of multiplats for the next gen? Read another thread in here.

You guys are accusing me of hating on Nintendo, because I am a Sony fanboy? I can tell you that Sony can screw up big time next gen if they don't do things right , don't have luck (that's part of the ecuation, always, fortune) and people don't support them. Can you tell me that it is possible that Nintendo can end up the same?
