I must admit, I don't think I've ever seen so much twisting and spinning in an effort to justify a personal bias before. Not a single person has said that the decision to go multiplatform was bad, and the fact that you implied otherwise demonstrates to me that you aren't actually reading what is being said. Meanwhile, the Wii U userbase is small because it only just launched. Releasing your titles early on a system helps to establish your fanbase on that system. But hey, it's Nintendo, so clearly the lack of third party support is justified by the weaker sales, and the weaker sales shouldn't be surprising - I mean, Nintendo never gets third party support, so why would people buy the system. Yeah, that's what you sound like. You know what the funniest part is, though? That you espouse the claim that it's the job of the first-party to sell the system. You're a Sony fanboy - the PS2 sold so well because of third-party support. The PS3 was only able to hold out because of third-party support. Meanwhile, it's Nintendo that has consistently sold primarily due to first-party software, and even the most negative of publishers, EA, says not to count Nintendo out. Now, go back and try reading what I said again. I want you to make an attempt to disengage your fanboyism, and to engage your brain instead. You might be surprised at what you discover. |
I don't like being called a fanboy so I'm going to respond to your accusation of fanboyism.
I'll have you know that I own every Nintendo console except the Wii U. That's including a Virtual Boy and every model of Gameboy, (Even the JP only Gameboy Lite), and every major and minor release and re-release of every official Zelda game. I will be buying the the Wii U as soon as a 3D Mario, full Zelda sequel, Prime style Metroid, Mario Kart and/or on-rails Star Fox comes out, and I may break down and buy one for Zelda WW HD just because I love that game so much. I love Nintendo. I collect Donkey Kong stuff. I have full size Donkey Kong arcade cabinet. I have more Nintendo games than I have Xbox or Playstation games. I send Nintendo character plush toys to my nieces and nephews. I'm a Nintendo Club member who racked up enough coins to buy the Golden Nunchuck to go with my Zelda Collector's Edition Gold WiiMote. I own some of the rarest Nintendo Game & Watch handhelds going back before even the NES had even been dreamed up. I buy every Nintendo console and handheld for Nintendo IP's and I care for them so they'll last a lifetime.
I bleed Nintendo logo red.
I will respond to one more thing. Of course the Wii U userbase is small because it just came out. That goes without saying. That's why I didn't say it. It's obvious. But that doesn't stop Ubisoft from seeing the reality of it being small, accounting for ZombiU sales, and deciding that it was a mistake to ever limit Rayman to just the Wii U.
Now you go back and read what I wrote without assuming I'm some kind of anti-Nintendo PS360 fanboy. I'm not. I own them all and play them all, but I've been a fan of Nintendo the longest.
Oh yeah and I built a wooden Master Sword just for fun and posted a pic of it in a Zelda fan thread in this very forum:
I am not against Nintendo.
