The director of Nintendo America (Reggie) has stated that Virtual reality isn't any fun and antisocial and purely technical stuff, I personally think his body isn't ready yet. We all know Nintendo is amazing at making bad hardware/business decissions, so does this mean Virtual Reality will be a huge succes. Because if Nintendo says something isn't big like Third party support, HD gaming, graphics, DVD/Blu ray placback, online multiplayer it usally is :p.

Taking each of the list of things that Nintendo apparently said wasn't big in order:

1) When did Nintendo ever say third party support wasn't important

2) Yep, they got that wrong.

3) Graphics - except for the fact that PS2 and Wii won their respective generations so oops.

4) Do you have any proof that DVD/Blu-ray playback is massively important. Wii didn't think so.

5) I don't recall Nintendo ever saying that online multiplayer wasn't big or important.

 

So basically, yes, I'm feeding the troll.

The Wii defenitly didn´t try to do serious online multiplayer, now did it. The PS3 sold quite a few units early thanks to their blu ray player ad it made a more appealing system it helped PS2 with dvd playback too.

Even though the PS2 was weak games as God of War 2 is one of the best looking 6th gen games, as for the Wii U which is supposed to be more powerful I am still waiting for that game which tops God of War 2. The Wii was the Wii but where the PS2 could have a long lifespan due to having enough power to get third parties and compete with the competition Wii was almost dried out within 4 years.

Perhaps Nintendo doesn´t say out loud that third parties can go **** themselves but they surely don't make their system apealing since Wii.
