| Metallicube said: I swear to god if I see one more mention of Nintendo going third party.. It's NOT going to happen people. For fuck's sake, just shell out 300 measely bucks for a Nintendo console if you want to play their games so bad. Most of you seem just fine with forking out $700-$1000 for a new console + controllers + games + $ 50 per year for an online service (with barely any worthwhile games at launch mind you), yet you refuse to purchase a $300 console that already has 2 games included, free online, and no need for extra controllers (if you already have a Wii), created by hands down the best video game developer on the planet that now has a respectable library.. Never got that logic. I mean christ, I work a dead end part time job that pays by the hour, and $300 is like, one HALF of ONE of my paychecks. |
Most of you ? Absolutely not. Only hard fan boy buy the PS4ONE on the launch. They're 160 millions PS360 owners in the world who are waiting to make the jump. At launch only approx 6 millions console will be sold on the first 5 month. Rest of us (you know the 155 millions people waiting) are waiting to see strong games and sufficient reasons to make the jump.
If you never got that logic, it's because you fail to understand most of PS360 owners are waiting to see the catalogue grow before spending money. As simple as that. Everyone keep saying that people should wait, but that's what people are doing. If most of us were not patiently waiting, they will already be something like 100 millions PS4 and XONE sold by now. Wich is absolutely not the case, Sony and Microsoft should already happy to reach 2 millions each by the end of the year.
And yes, I refuse to pay a 300$ console for only one game that caught my interest (WindWaker HD)... Oh, and 300$ + pro controler, because you know I find the big controler a shame to play with. And i'm think I'm not alone on this one. If it's not logical to you, you should question yourself more.
On the third party : I know a lot of Nintendo fans are shaking their leg about it, but let's face it ; It is very likely they go third party for console if the Wii U does not take off in the next two years. Nintendo has 7 billion in cash to burn and no debt, wich is really good. But Nintendo is not Sony, they have what ? 5000 employees ? Sony have something like 150 000 employees and the company is worth 32 billions dollars. The company value and stability is way (way way) more important than the cash a company have in bank.
If you can read and understand the numbers, and have some financial and company development knowledge (I have a strong degree in those shit), you can find the information here :

Plus, Nintendo is only about games and console. If Wii U don't sell they loose all profitability they had thanks to the console department and the Wii. You think the 3ds sell numbers would be enough to support the company ? That's a clear no. They will have two possibility, going third party to keep the revenu coming from console department or make a more appealing console (wich is very unlikely)...
In other word, them going third party if the Wii U don't sell way more in the next two years is everything but impossible.
