Some of you seem to have this bizarre opinion that the Wii U is going to continue to sell the way it is currently and that both the PS4 and 720 are not only going to do gangbusters at launch but will continue to do gangbusters during the launch window and beyond. Even in the biggest Sony or Microsoft fanboy's Dreamworld these sort of sales are going to be impossible. Nintendo could have made some very intelligent decisions regarding their choice of hardware and architecture, we simply don't know enough about the GPU especially to be able to make any sort of judgement on how things are going to turn out. As for defending the console like it's my sister, I don't have any kind of alliegance to any of the three platform holders. I just think that people need to be corrected when they make daft statements such as third parties won't support X console or X engine won't run on Y console. It's nonsense, particularly when a console hasn't even been on the market for 6 months. Like I've said, the proof is going to be in the pudding and we'll see part of what the Wii U is capable of at E3 when we see the likes of 3D Mario, Mario Kart 8 and Retro's new game. |
off topic but reminded me of something. i like how nintendo doesn't showcase any game if there's no gameplay footage available. bayonetta 2, wind waker remake, smt x fe, those games only got teasers or static images instead of showing cinematics and nothing else. now look at other game announcements: AC 4 was cutscene only if i recall, deep down and infamous are the same. and there's the likes of killzone shadow fall, it starts at a cutscene, then after the explosion the gameplay starts and the city view gets blocked by smoke (i wonder why) and downgrades can be seen in comparison to the cutscene.
i'm not against cinematic trailers but i think announcements should include gameplay and nintendo always does that. REAL gameplay too, what they show is what the game will look, unlike others.
