| Mummelmann said: For me personally, I recognize that each console represents for me and I'm fine with buying a Wii U for 1st party titles, especially since I never owned a Wii and lost an entire generation of Nintendo titles. The 3rd party offerings that are on the Wii U are (for me) either available elsewhere or completely uninteresting (Bayonetta 2 for instance, not my genre at all) but that's fine. For the vast majority of games, I get them on PC anyway. For me; it's mostly about price, I never buy consoles early and I almost never pay full price for games since so few of them are worth the investment when all is said and done. What never ceases to amaze me though, is the number of people who still believe that the Wii U can somehow become competitive in hardware sales and will receive any decent 3rd party support once the PS360/PS4One transition period is over. |
Only in the event that 3rd party AAA gaming crumbles underneath itself entirely (e.g. Watch Dogs, Destiny, Final Fantasy XV and others cause disastrous losses for publishers) and some indie game exclusive to WiiU has it's "minecraft" moment, could that occur. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Even then, the publishers would have to align under NIntendo moreso than Sony or Microsoft. Among those two, one or the other could be doing badly, but not likely both. Basically, Sony would be in such disastrous financial condition that it couldn't properly support Playstation. Microsoft would begin losing interest in the gaming market entirely, having weathered years of losses to building a successful brand only to see it's popularity and chance of profitability wither.
Again, not a likely scenario -- but not an entirely impossible one.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
