Again just type NX in google and you'll find sites from IGN, Eurogamer to even tech sites talking about NX leaks, even a national News outlet here in UK called Metro reported yesterday's leak, your Britney Spears analogy is null and void in the case as you were going on about it not reaching outside of VG now you admit even your non hardcore friends are aware of NX and it's not even been unveiled yet, non hardcores weren't aware of the Wii U when it's leaks were happening and before it released. PS4 doesn't really offer anything X1 can't but it's exposure and marketing is what propelled it early on, Wii U's problem for the first year and a half was that no one knew about it, they even referenced this in a comic sketch at the game awards with the "Why didn't they tell anyone" part. The's no point offering something different if the is little exposure and tbh right now exposure is more important to gather attention for the unveiling. |
1. Er... of course IGN and Eurogamer would talk about it. I mean they even talk about ps5. That means nothing. You should look up their psvita articles. That wasn't enough to make it a success, now was it? Don't like the psvita as an example? Look up ouya coverage as well at its sales.
2. You misunderstood. I meant that they haven't even heard of it. Equal to zero is zero.
3. It was a number of reasons and not just marketing, let's not kid ourselves.
4. Or it was that people weren't interested in it after they got burnt after buying a wii (among other reasons).
I don't know why you feel like making assumptions. I wasn't talking about just outside VGC, but non-primarily gaming sites. So, please don't put words into my mouth. Also, my analogy was fine even if you didn't understand it (calling it null and void does not magically make it so). My point was that google searches don't always translate to sales.
But, honestly, feel free to disagree. I said my piece. Let's not derail this thread any more. It is, after all, about whether the NX will be released in 2016 or 2017. This will be my last response, unless you want to talk futher about the release date.
