The Wii was a fad which helped Nintendo profit greatly for its times, but third parties barely respected it and didnt see it as a stable way of gaming in the future and obviously Nintendo didnt either as they moved onto the next fad, which is tablets. Controllers are it until it can be thrown off by a new way to game. Kinect, Wiimote and the move are all gimmicks. The Move is the most accurate of them all and can play a blend o both the Wii and Kinect games but having no games to prove its point. Lost cause because that would've been the only device to prove its worth in the long run but fail...so all of them fail. |
@underlined. Nintendo is still strongly supporting the Wiimote in the U, they never abandoned the tech....
I can't believe this.
It's also way too early to call it a fad, as these technologies are still in use. Pokemon was being called a fad after its first iteration as well, and was not respected by the gaming media (I remember I was there). It is still selling boatloads.
Also, whether 3rd parties respect it or not does not make it a fad. 3rd parties don't respect Nintendo as a whole, let alone the U itself, so is Nintendo a fad? Last time I checked they're the oldest company in the business, also the ones doing video games for the longest time. Is the U a fad? It incorporates everything a console incorporates, plus new methods of control, after all.
The move was to prove its worth in the long run but not the Kinect (with its upcoming 2.0) and not the Wiimote, with its plus upgrade? You make no sense and are utterly biased. This is not an insult, it is just a constatation of facts. The above post proves it.
"Loyalty-free gaming movement" my ass.
