| sundin13 said: We (the minority) are just as powerless to change the majority (mass-consumers) as we are to change the publishers. Like I said, consumers are fixed, they do not and will not change. The change has to come from the publisher's end. Its marketing's job to "change" consumer's minds about products... But, I think we've reached a point where we aren't really disagreeing anymore...we just look at the issue from different viewpoints. I do think you aren't giving enough blame to the publishers, but otherwise we don't disagree. However, no matter how you look at the issue, we are as good as powerless. We have to wait for other, more important people to change things for us... |
I think we can make a difference, but I do think it will not be easy, we can start by speaking in a more positive way, lets stop calling Wii U ports "shitty" and tell that they are flawed or imperfect. Recomend the games anyway, most of them you can get very cheap at the moment and some Wii U owners don't know about their existence, you will not believe the surprise faces I get when I mention that you can play Assassin's Creed IV on Wii U.
Word of mouth is still important, very important indeed, we don't have to make the environment more hostile that is already is for publishers, let's stop calling for boycotts that help no-one and don't ignore the Wii U ports right away, as customers in a first world country you are used to be always right but think about us third world people who cannot afford a second console and will have to decide between buying a Wii U with the franchises that we love and forget about all other games or ignore the console and go for the competition and miss all the nintendo fun.
Give your friends or family members the Wii U version of a game as their birthday gifts (or something along those lines) if they have the console, they may bother you because they wanted the PS3 or 360 version but is a gift and they should not complain too much.
All those things feel like a small stuff, but if more people does it we can make a difference, I already have sold 11 copies of Deus Ex, 10 of Splinter cell, 9 of Assassin's Creed IV, 5 of Batman: Arkham Origins and a few more.
