VGKing I have heard Nintendo will be allowing other stores then eShop like service. I'm not sure if those stores will be inside Nintendo's store or separate. Nintendo will obviously be charging EA for every purchase much like it does with any other service. But I have heard rumors that Nintendo was interested in Origin and Steam and other digital stores. How Nintendo would bring them to WiiU I do not know. But if Nintendo did get them over it could be a massive advantage to Nintendo.
It really seems Nintendo is turning WiiU into the ultimate gaming device currently on the market. By opening up online enabling MMO's and RTS and F2P and if the rumors have any truth opening it up to Steam or Origin. Nintendo would be taking on PC and the home game systems in a direct confrontation.
I could see Nintendo's open network policy being a major selling feature for both consumers and developers. Live and PSN would need to open up their networks more to compete. Even if Sony and MS could blow Nintendo out of the water visually. If Nintendo can win over developers for online services and offer consumers everything a PC currently offers (Game wise) as well as every Nintendo usually offers console wise. Nintendo could really maintain its lead as king. People will pay good money for the console.

You wanna have your opinion, then you have to respect different opinions as well.
Everytime there is someone who claims Wii U will be less or equal in power to PS360... you can be assured their entire point and article is trash.
The confirmed facts we know now point to a Power7 CPU and a RV770 GPU (both highly customized). That alone proves without a doubt that Wii U will be more powerful than PS360... easily.
There is no point discussing any other part of this analyst fabrication.
Well, if Activision and Konami want to turn down free money, I guess anything is possible. If they just do what they did with Wii/DS and just port things over from other platforms at low cost and sell millions of copies on Wii & DS, I don't see why they wouldn't continue that trend on Wii U/3DS.
Like I said...free money.
No COD and no Metal Gear would certainly hurt WiiU's chances to get gamers back from Sony/Microsoft. That said, Activision regularly released COD games for Nintendo systems. I don't see why this would change overnight.
As for Konami, it's up to Nintendo to create a third-party-friendly environment. If they can do that, WiiU shouldn't be ignored by 3rd parties.
Fake
- The recent “rumors” about the Wii U being weaker than PS3 and 360? Apparently, they are far from the truth and Nintendo isn’t happy with the ‘analyst’ that had a vendetta against them enough to spread false rumors. The rumors apparently have scared off investors and downgraded Nintendo’s stock rating. Investors are waiting until E3 to have a better idea of what lies in store for the Wii U rather than buying in advance to E3 to have a leg up for when the hype begins to soar.
- The lead-up to the Wii U’s final reveal has been something of a roller-coaster. Nintendo made the strict NDA embargoes go far too long this time and it’s somewhat their own fault that so much confusion abounds in regard to the Wii U’s technology. But, Nintendo is hoping it will all be worth it when everything is finally announced. For now, the top-tier publishers with full access to the final dev kits are keeping their mouths shut tight even in the face of negative rumors.

and theres a rumor of a mmo for the wii u, a exclusive race title and other nice tecnologies, i think the wii u will be a real succes even with all this shit of negative rumors, also its imposible to be less power than ps3/360
trolllllllll
Activision could choose to boycot the WiiU, but I dobet it. They support everything. Activision will release a COD on WiiU and EA will release Madden on WiiU. I don't know about Konami, but I wouldn't be surprised if they put a Dynasty Wariors on WiiU.

Yes and no. Hiring developers to bring franchises exclusively to WiiU would be very smart. But 50-mill for TimeSplitters would be one of the dumbest moves Nintendo could possibly make investment wise. The game has sales potential but not enough to even break even at that cost. Now lets say Nintendo spent 25-million the game would need to sell very well to make that money back. I doubt Nintendo would break even. Not to mention TimeSplitters is not a big enough IP to actually make a difference for most core gamers. GTA would be worth 50+ mill but didn't Microsoft pay that just for the exclusive rights to the DLC for what six months. It would likely cost Nintendo 250-mill to secure GTA 6 as an exclusive title and I doubt that would see its return many would just wait for GTA7 others would just stick with 5. It might push 3-4 million units which would be amazing but not the 250-million Nintendo spent. Other titles like CoD would cost Nintendo just as much. Now I actually believe it would be smart for Nintendo to invest a billion USD getting the top six franchises exclusively on WiiU for 2013. The move would mean every third party hit gamers would be wanting on their NextBox and their PS4 would be on WiiU. No CoD, no Rockstar game Nintendo snaps up Battlefield4 every major hit here in NA and over seas in Japan. A massive attack on Microsoft and Sony right at launch. The exclusives would keep flowing for the year starting fall 2013 and ending fall 2014. Nintendo would secure a half dozen to dozen third party franchises for the first year of Sony's new console and likely now Microsoft's. MS and Sony would have to rely on new IP and first party IP to survive. But this move would cost Nintendo a pretty penny the billion dollar hit would not be fully recovered that year it would mean Nintendo takes another annual loss likely 200-mill. But Nintendo's console would have all of the third party hits on WiiU exclusively. Now I think that is the more expensive and amazing plan I have two other investment plans. Nintendo helps publishers in insuring that their titles show up on WiiU. So give Rockstar 50-mill to bring GTA6 to WiiU and supply some exclusive content. This would be far cheaper then Nintendo buying the content exclusively but Nintendo would still have versions that appear inferior and Nintendo might not manage to push much hardware or software as consumers might opt for the better looking PS4 version My better idea is for Nintendo to hire third parties to develop new IP. Nintendo fully finances CryTek to make a new IP for Nintendo. Same goes for David Mattes new studio and several other world class studios. Nintendo then takes any widely successful IP and moves them to an internal team or hires the developer to continue the franchise. This way Nintendo gets a new Gears of War for example as Microsoft did. Nintendo can hire almost any third party studio or publisher. If I had been Nintendo when Bungie's was looking to sell its new IP exclusively for ten years I would have likely bought the rights. That or Nintendo could invest the money in establishing new studios and make the new IP internally. Making the next Retro or the next EAD! |
That would be a good way to get a massive anticompetitive suit
