Forums - Nintendo - This rampant Wii U hate does not seem logical

Go play outside dude.



Around the Network

When Sony and Microsoft both present their own controllers with a screen in the middle, all of a sudden, that's not going to be a gimmick anymore but a new revolution. Like the move and kinetic.

Also, when Wii U outperforms the other 2 in sales, this type of threads are not going to be funny anymore.

Where are the 3DS vs PSV graphics threads ? Nowhere to be seen, 3DS is king of the hill now. Somehow.

Noone would buy a PS1 or PS2 for the same price as a PS3 so obviously visuals are a factor.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The features of the WIi U are major unknowns at this point. Nintendo felt that the 3D in the 3DS was a worthwhile feature as well, however it didn't let them maintain their launch price for very long. I wouldn't count on unknown features and besides the best feature of the Wii U is likely brand and reputation.

How happy are you with PS1 level graphics? People were very happy with that too. I don't think that anyone is going to say no to better graphics at a similar price. Noone would buy a PS1 or PS2 for the same price as a PS3 so obviously visuals are a factor. People bought the Wii inspite of the lack of visual fidelity because it offered something unique which drew people in. What the WIi U offers is not nearly as unique as the WIi and half of the functionality will be copied with the Xbox 360 smart glass at or before launch.

You will never see a game designed from the ground up to take advantage of any of the ways to "copy" the Wii U ...

Beyond that, while visuals matter they don't matter much. The Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, Playstation, Gameboy, SNES and NES all faced competition from more powerful systems that produced better visuals and yet still sold far more than their competition. On top of that, while inovation matters, the PS2, Gameboy Advance, Playstation and SNES were all successful even though they never offered anything that was a revolutionary difference from previous generations.

Of all systems the Wii U reminds me of the DS the most ... Almost everything that is being said about the Wii U and its competition was said about the Nintendo DS and the PSP, and the main difference is that Sony and Microsoft will be releasing systems after the Nintendo DS saw its sales explode.



I don't know enough about the system,to have an opinion. I hope it does well though,as I've always had a soft spot in my heart,for the big N.

Nintendo does not help the situation by always being so secretive. Everyone always is out to get whoever is on top. That goes for anything in life. Why Nintendo has got to always work harder to keep ahead. Imo


I have to agree with being so secretive.   Meda wants attention  they are attention whores.  They need stories to make you  listen to/ watch  them.

IF Nintendo refuses to "cooperate" they are of no real use because the media  cant earn any money.   Sothe media goes the other way. The way of BAD NEWS ARE GOOD NEWS. Because you can always make money with bashing things  or catastrophes or whatever.

Seriously just watch the news  how many % of the news are  something positive? Compare that to the percentage of negative things mentioned in the news.

This is why you dont really see the media praising the WiiU etc.  Sure it will happen when the thing launches because  its a new trendy topic and they would be stupid not to mention the new console.  But unless then they will ride the HATE TRAIN  (if they talk about it at all)

I would completely agree exept for the fact that this isn't done with the PS3 and 360 or anything from Sony and Microsoft. IF they were trying to sell negativity then why are they always so overwhemingly positive for them in all accounts despite what fact suggest?

It does not correlate. The gaming media behaves as if it has an agenda beyond simple hits and revenue. They intentionally distort stories on a fox news level even if it costs them money and/or causes them to lose credibility.

The completely refuse to cover good news about the Wii U even thought simply writing or copying adn pasting an inverview(which they have done when they intentionally misquoted devs) would cost them nothing.



@ lilbroex

Honestly I think your own bias has clouded your perception of negative articles on gaming companies and platforms. Which is something that most of us are subject to.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I have no bias on the issue. I'm simply calling it as I see it.

How can you claim my percerption is clouded? What is clouded about it? Your statement lacks any substance. Please, expalin.

Well it is a little off the orginal topic but since there seems to be widespread opinion that the "hate" is stronger for Wii U than other consoles it is hard to take anything without just writing it off as individual speculation. What would be nice is an actually objective analyzis, pulling articles about each company and their hardwares to quanitify their negativity and positivity and do an actual comparison.

In your OP you never even linked examples to create any substance in your own thread. Are there really "hate" articles or only valid criticisms?
