Darwinianevolution said: Microsoft entered the 8th gen too confident. It thought that, because the original Kineckt sold really well and the XBox 360 practically draw agaist the PlayStation 3, they could follow the same strategy and keep being succesfull (not to mention the DRM policies). When everyone called them out, they had to make a new plan to compete against the PS. Even Nintendo didn't follow the motion controlls, in favor of a tablet-like controller. It wasn't a good idea, but you have to admit tablts are very popular nowadays, so the logic is at least there. |
Actually Nintendo till uses motion controls quite a bit with the tablet, but there is also the option to not use them for many.
What is with the gamepad hate?

I don't hate the tablet, but I'm sure the gamepad is the main reason Nintendo can't make an effective price cut (like the GCube), and the machine really needs one. Specially after the NX announcement/teaser. The WiiU has a lot of problems, and even if the gamepad isn't its biggest, it's certainly important.
