They did pay more. They paid $350 to $500 on eBay for the first couple years. But it didn't matter. WiiU proves Nintendo is struggling to get HD games out. That's a fact right now. That would have happened had Wii been HD. Thus, the games that pushed Wii through the roof, would have been late. MSony proved that HD wii sport/wii fit knockoffs don't matter/sell. So the content that sold the console, gained nothing from HD / power. The only difference that is arguable is 3rd party support, however, I think there are a few people in this thread that have already shown why that still would never of came. 3rd parties largely just don't want to support Nitnendo and purposefully setup failing projects so they can sell that to their investors. To them a game industry without Nitnendo is better as they do more with MSony and wouldn't have Nintendo as a software competitor. See that's the difference. On MSony, they can have the limelight as MSony don't make titles that completely obliterate theirs in sales. They just don't do that type of game quality. Naughty Dog is the only thing close, but that's just one studio with one major title every couple years. However, even they don't sale as much. On Nintendo hardware they have stiff competition from Nintendo directly where nearly all of Nintendo's many titles do very well and are clear competition to everything with the direct exception of shooters. God help them if Metriod ever goes casual. |
Again a possible outcome but as I repeated before we simply will never know what the true consequences of IF the Wii being on technical par the 360 in terms of spec's. It's not that clear cut as there are plenty or arguments for and against such a move. It's not like estimating the future of the Wii U, Ps4 &X1 as we will see the result of that in the future. This will be my last post on the matter.
