| Soma said: Nintendo defined themselves the entire generation as a mass market company and now they are behaving the other way. WiiU isn't even much more powerful than the Xbox360, I don't get why can't they charge $50 for their games. If this is true this may be the first generation I don't buy games day one, not because I can't but because I don't want! I supported the Wii buying many games, specially third party at $50, and turns out the games weren't that good. I won't be making the same mistake at $60. |
"Isn't even much more powerful than the Xbox360"
What's your definition of much more powerful? 10x more powerful? 40x more powerful? The Wii U specs have partially been released, and it's showing to be around 3-4x more powerful. I don't know about you, but I feel like that qualifies as much more powerful, considering that shows it's more than double the power.
edit: Also to be on topic, there's a certain psychology about the pricing. If Nintendo priced the games at $50 or less, people would assume that the games are of lower quality than the other games that cost more. This is true as I've seen and experienced this before.
