I had no idea that this had already released in America! Buy it today if you have not already, Americans.

 

 

This is 2-year old news for people who live in a 'cool' country

Great game though.

I think the most important thing in that article is this:

 "We’ve got 30 million PS3s (sales target) for this year, it’s a big number but we’ve got the tools to go out and deliver that.”

The hell? They expect to be up YoY by 200%???

what the fuck? 30 million? ...how?

You know what, I'm pretty close to buying one. I need 4 interesting and promising exclusives, preferably new IPs.

1. ZombiU
2. Pikmin 3
3. ??
4. ??

Fill in those last two and instead of buying a new graphics card, I'm buying a Wii U.

How much is a new graphics card? What if multiplate games look better and have more options on the Wii U, at least until the new 360 and PS3 come out. Would you buy them for the Wii U?

I buy all my multiplats on PC now (and will do until Orbis/Durango are in my hands), and if I spend that money on a new card (£200), it'll look far better than any game on Wii U and I'm not really sold on the extra features the pad will provide, so no.

That's why it's all about the exclusives for me, and I guess I just want a Nintendo system again.

 I'm buying a Wii U.

I knew I was right to choose you in the poll!!

In addition; I have no idea how they think the PS3 will sell 30mil this year. It'll be lucky to sell it in 2 years, more likely 30-35 months...

Price cut to £99 with exclusive COD/GTA V confirmed?

Each one comes with a £10 voucher for PSN taken directly out of Kaz Hirai's salary... that'll do it!

Pretty much. That or you can punch Kevin Butler in the face.

I think I'll take 10.

Couple things.

1) I bought Pikmin 2 on the 10th. Great game.

2) RE this qoute from above, "...Dad comes home. Normally what would happen is they have to get off the TV because Dad wants to watch the news, and they go off somewhere else. But with the Wii U, he can come home and the kids can either use the control pad to continue playing the game, or Dad can use the control pad to watch the news."

How can dad watch the news? I think this is leaking specific features like TV view or an anticipation of many new applications.

Iwata speaks about S&M's strategy of a more powerful console not being a good business plan, Nintendo almost ditching the tablet, and a bit more here: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-06-14-nintendo-nearly-scuttled-gamepad-tablet-over-cost

He also mentions that he doesn't expect third parties to have the same issues porting between consoles as they did between HD > Wii last gen.

Was that already posted?
