| Nintentacle said: I'm not going to defend Nintendo's mistakes, but why are they the popular thing to hate on? Even if Wii U is probably (Like a 99.9999999% chance) going to loose by far, that doesn't explain why people hated GameCube more than Xbox, when GameCube had better games, and the sales were pretty equal. The Wii also got a good amount of hate, even when it won the gen. Shouldn't everyone be bashing the PS4 and Xbox One since they had record breaking launches, and praise the Wii U because It's not the popular thing? |
I never disliked nintendo, but before the Wii they always tried to innovate and good technology they in fact had better consoles than sony did, but they MS entered the competition and they GC did poorly so they got scared when went with cheap hardware and a gimmick, the Wii, then becuase of the context it was in, PS3 having a terrible launch, and the interesting of the "casuals" the Wii started selling and they pretended it was part of the plan, all the time, and there is where i started to dislike them, not hate, they the tried the same strategy with the Wii U but the context was not there, the gimmick was not as appealing and the "casual" market they "found" moved else where because they dont demand any kind of quality, so cheap and F2P stole their market, so they got what they deserve.
I they had invested in online, services and HD graphics and have also the motion controls I would have said that the Wii was their honest attempt to innovate but they didnt, not they are struggling to catch up.
