| RolStoppable said: You've been here long enough to remember the 360's and PS3's first year struggles. Two consoles with graphical increase and multiple new IPs. It didn't work back then, it's not going to work now. It took the PS2 pipeline of games to dry up and price cuts to get things moving. The Gamepad is new, it's just that it is lame and expensive. That's a dangerous combination. Nintendo could have easily succeeded in the eighth generation by making gaming affordable, but that's not the route they chose. |
The WiiU is only 400k to 600k behind PS360 at the same time. However, the big difference is they were selling weekly what WiiU did for all of last month. They clearly had something WiiU does not at the same time frame. Its new experiences. In their case, it was games that were clearly new as compared to the prev gen.
Wii U still doesn't have that.
Gamepad could be good given the right experience. I don't think that's unfathomable at their current $350 price.
