On Topic: Last year when the Wii U launched I looked at the launch lineup and it was quite impressive IF you disregard that many of the games were late ports that were available on other systems. There were a few exclusives but mainly second stringers (one example: NSMBU, a 2D Mario Platformer, while it has the capability of big sales isn't as big for the core market) or new ips/games (ie. NintendoLand) Now I look at the XB1 and PS4 launch lineups and I see a very similar situation. Many of the games coming at launch or in the launch windows of both consoles will be available on other systems earlier (WatchDogs, Battlefield, COD, FIFA, etc.) and the exclusive content is either from the respective company's more second string IPs (no GT, Uncharted, Halo, Gears, etc.) or new IPs/games that could be big but are unproved.
Wii U has been in one of the worst software droughts for a major console I've seen in quite a while and is just now starting to get a good lineup coming out, that's good but there's no need to downplay the relatively good launch lineups of the competitors.
I'm not trying to defend Reggie, this is an obvious troll and I'd like him to be a little less arrogant but I will be purchasing somewhere between 4 and 6 new games on Nintendo systems in the next 3 months or so (and probably a 3DSXL bundle) so maybe $400-500 while I plan to spend maybe $50-100 on my PS3 if that and have no plans to buy any hardware from them for a few years yet. |
I literally was going to type literally in that same spot but caught myself. Then switched it to figuratively just to see if anyone would get it. Congradulations you win me quoting you. On topic, I will agree that WiiU's exclusive lineup looks better than X1/PS4 THIS year. However I had zero interest in anything on WiiU last year around this time. I have a very strong interest in Killzone and many of those free to play games on PS4 this year. I also have a slight interest in Knack. It's all down to personal preference but if we're comparing launch linups (which I think is the only fair way to do this) then PS4 wins for me personally. Just to reiterate I AM buying a WiiU since people like to label me a Playstation fanboy on this site. I'm just not quite as anxious for Nintendo as I am for Sony so I'm waiting until next year on Black Friday when my favorite franchises are on it (I usually end up doing most of my Nintendo gaming by playing 4 player Mario Kart and Smash Bros games). I would say PS4's 2014 Fall linup should be compared with WiiU's lineup this year when we know what it will be. Then we'll have a fair comparison.
