Forums - Gaming - Sony on Wii U: "What if you've got a family of six?"

The guy's question was kinda dumb, but his point is still valid. Support for only one controller (especially with Nintendo's user base) is pointless to me. Anytime I've ever played a Wii game it's always been with 4+ people, so it doesn't seem like Nintendo intends to attract their current user base to the next console. And when the controller breaks, how long will it take to order a new one? Nintendo doesn't skimp on the quality of their products, but it would really suck if the controller had some kind of defect like the Xbox RROD and they were suddenly inundated with replacement requests.

While 6 is an odd number ... just one tablet doesn't really promote Nintendo's (supposed philosophy) of all togetherness and local co-op ect. Yes I know you can play with Wii mote, but really then what is the console to a lot of people, just a graphically enhanced wii? :-S



 

HAHAHA Sony when will your guys ever grow up :D I know for a fact that a person who talks shit is the person who’s hurt. It is ok Sony one day you might be on top again so cheer up and keep on trying. Try to innovate more and copy less though :P

do more games like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus i love those

EDIT: Oh and by the way they never seemed to care about how many family members wanted to play for the two previous generations where only two people could play.  

EDIT 2:

Why didn’t you add all of it? I like this part the most where he says what Miyamoto says when Sony copies them.

“In a wide-ranging interview with GI.biz, House also commented on Nintendo’s use of PlayStation 3 footage to showcase in-development Wii U titles.

“The only thing I’ve got to say is mimicry is the is the highest form of flattery,” he said.”

Its not like they copied something you made Sony they just showed footage of 3rd party games!

Doesnt he mean it in a way where you cant buy the WiiU controller separately? Either way ALL of the companies are guilty of making people buy dumb stuff.



and once again I am reminded of why I hate Sony's PR department. They come off as nothing more than a bunch of mud-slinging, insecure juveniles



Why did he go with six? Why not two? Only one person can use that controller...

I was asking myself the same, why overkill when two was enough, but the best scenario for Sony and worst for Wii U would actually be a family of four, with two children squabbling for tablet control so painting for their parents the idea of choosing Wii U as gift a nightmare.
