| AEGRO said: If i were a Wii U user, i would be fucking mad that my console is going to the slaughter house in less than 4 years since its release. There is no other way around it for me. I firmly believe in long generations. It is better for the consumer, for the developer and the console maker. If Nintendo keeps doing this 0.5 gens, i dont see how they will be competitive in this game. Unless they are fine with sub-20m consoles like the Wii U, because people are not going to support it nor developers. |
What half gens?
You guys got 6 years last time for the Wii. Every other Nintendo console has gotten 5 years. This one is 4.
A half generation is 2.5 years of support.
If anything this just evens out the Wii being a year longer than it should have been.
And long generations aren't that great either, it means you are stuck playing games on outdated technology for longer. The industry isn't a bunch of 10-year-old boys any longer that needs mommy/daddy to buy them every new console, a lot of people would be willing to embrace a different model IMO.
Nintendo game experiences have always gotten better with better hardware unless you're going to sit there with a straight face and say Splatoon and Bayonetta 2 and so on would have been better on the original Wii. So why be afraid of something that's ultimately good for the player?
