No. Totally wrong. On the PS3 end of things Sony still has steam for possibly another two years if they please. The 360 has to die in 2013 from a hardcore gaming standpoint inrevealing the 720. This is a totally akward time for gaming where the market has been exhausted from what the gaming industry is offering. New consoles need to be delivered, but Nintendo is attacking current gen consoles with games that have basically the same graphics (this is ass backwards). When the next gen comes I am sure Sony and Microsoft will follow suit with the standards Epic games want set to truly harness the new engines. The only point of solace I have for Nintendo is they are the type of company that doesnt care if they have the worst graphics as long as the games are great. What Nintendo is doing is absolutely not like how Microsoft segmented Sonys fanbase. Microsoft knowingly rushed a faulty console into a new gen and was the FIRST to show off next gen graphics. People bought into it and third parties were right beside them. They basically collected the third partt ouies who were exclusive to Sony at the beginning of this gen. This is the risk as to why all the 360's broke down. They saw why Sony was so powerful and its that they had a great relationship with third parties and if they want to be great they have to take away their exclusivity to segment them. Nintendo will segment the PS3 and the 360 by having the same games, but not by much because. Nintendo is selling the Wii U based on current gen standards with more graphical power(which in a way I dont mind, but Id like to see Nintendo characters in HD anyway). The problem with Tekken is its coming out in September. When it launches on the Wii U the PS3 and 360 will have cased more than 80% of potential buyers. |
No, Colbretti's post shows that there are other ways to fragment the fanbase. And even then, does capturing the core have to be the reason of being for TTT2 on the WiiU?
Simple answer... No. Nintendo can create its own market and not care what the other two are making, and that's what it looks like is gonna happen. TTT2 is just part of that, and the 3DS in Japan shows that it's working.
