This must be the absolute most mislead post I've read on vgchartz. I want to make sure I sting. (unless you're being humorous of course) The U is not a console that sucks up to 3rd parties. If it were, Nintendo would not need a screen in their controller or a stylus would they? You have been too strongly indoctrinated by Rol, honestly. The U is struggling for reasons much greater than "It has dual analog sticks", I am terribly sorry, and anyone who convinced you of that should be flogged. (That's Rol) Rashness aside, I'd like to point you to a more intelligent perspective, that the U is Nintendo's attempt to reconsile their DS success along with allowing 3rd partys to have the standard buttons available from the get-go. The buttons are optional, but are not in any way a reason for the U's failure, since a padlet would have been necessary for the DS-type strategy anyway. It was basically them hitting two birds with one stone. Sure, the padlet hikes the price which is a huge deterrent, but the greatest deterrent for the U is the lack of games. However, even so, the U does have more attractive games than the X1 and PS4 do so far, so I'd be slow to call it trash. Also, NSMBU is one reason a person could contemplate calling it trash, because the game has been released once too often and reaks of lack of originality. |
It is interesting how you start your long paragraph of calling out his use of hyperbolic word like "trash" to describe Wii U. Then at the end you procede to make your own hyperbolic statement based on your own opinion of a game you didn't like. I mean i understand you have some deep seeded problem with NSMBU as you made a thread demeaning it by comparing it to sales of Mario Kart 8. For what little my words are worth, the game is not trash and it is well made platformer. The vgchartz polls are never a reliable source but here you can see that our community quite likes that "trash" game. It probably was the only thing convincing people to pick up a Wii U and preventing a much early death. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=175365
Carry on with it and Happy Canada Day.
OT: I agree. I buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo and other exclusive games. It doesn't make sense to make the main console strategy to cater to small subset of people who want to play 3rd party multiplatform games and don't have another console/pc to play them on. Build on ones strengths than weakness, pretty much.
