gotta tag this!
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
The Wii U is different to the Wii in design and not really better than the Xbox 360/PS3 so whom does it cater to at the moment outside of hardcore gamers who'll own all systems regardless and Nintendo faithful?
Tease.
As far as I know, Bioshock is confirmed for the WiiU... I think Nintendo is gonna be perfect, can't wait to see what they have for the upcoming months! =)

We don't really know that for sure, all we have to do is get confirmation from the folks developing it.

Any news on the Wii U front?
We never had any news on the Wii U. I bought one and I like it. I play games on it! But in terms of development, nothing is brewing right now
It might see a release on the Wii U some time after the 360/PS3 version, but it´s not confirmed right now.
Bioshock is not going to impact any console's success. Whether or not it appears on Wii U is not relevant. Even games like Spyro are more relevant and will have a greater impact on sales.
The games that are REALLY important are games like Grand Theft Auto, which are much bigger names, and could impact sales of the console. Nintendo should be actively trying to get Square to do more remakes, especially FF6, FF7, Chrono Trigger, and Xenogears on their consoles.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

According to analysts, the irrelevance of Nintendo is imminent. Michael Patcher, among others, claims that Nintendo will fail to be relevant from here onwards. However, I beg to differ. 1. Nintendo has positioned itself to be the early market leader for the eight generation console Nintendo being the early bird in the console race is crucial as in order to attract third-party developers, one needs the necessary install base to justify the investment. One has to remember that the PS3 had little support during launch as developers were still flocking towards the more popular gaming system and safe investment, the PS2. History is repeating itself once more as developers are being cautious and want a return on their investment. Hence why Nintendo positioned itself to be first on the market, grow the initial install base and offer third party developers a more attractive investment opportunity compared to once Durango and Orbis hits the market in late 2013. Contrary to popular opinion, Wii U’s first week sales were favorable. For comparison, according to industry tracker NPD, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 sold 326,000 and 197,000 units respectively in its first two weeks on sale and doing so, prior to the recession. The Wii U achieved that feat in less than a week (425,000 units in one week). - http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/11/wii-u-first-week-sales-lag-original-wii-but-better-than-xbox-360-ps3/ Thus, calling the Wii U a failure is evidently false. 2. 3DS is growing rapidly For starters, the Nintendo 3DS is no longer being sold at a loss. Furthermore, the 3DS is the current market leader for the handheld market and is selling at a decent pace, even more so in Japan. 2013 will be the year where the 3DS expands greatly, let me explain why: In Q1 of 2013, Monster Hunter 4 will be released in Japan exclusively on the 3DS and will most likely set records for the 3DS much like previous titles did for the PSP. In Q1 of 2013, Fire Emblem, Castlevania, Etrian Odyssey, Monster Hunter and Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon will be released in North America thus helping move both software and hardware sales. Furthermore, Animal Crossing New Leaf will also be released in Q2 of 2013. One can also expect a Pokemon title from Nintendo (Ruby Sapphire 3DS remake), Bravely Default, Monolith 3DS game, Super Smash (maybe), new 3DS colors - bundles and a new 3DS model (maybe), and much more to come. Hence, I can see the 3DS moving many units in 2013, much more than 2012. In conclusion, although there is a cloud of uncertainty that seems to follow Nintendo, the big N has positioned themselves well for 2013. I would like to hear your thoughts, what do you think of Nintendo’s prospects in 2013? |
Amen.
Thanks for doing this, my same thoughts!
I cannot see any other Game console manufactors as good as Nintendo in 2013.
Switch!!!
Nintendo has yet to reveal any of their heaviest hitting franchises except 2D Mario so far. There's a lot of damage they could yet inflict against the competition. Nintendo's key franchises are always the most talked about or among the most talked about games when they are revealed.

Nintendo knows the other two will show what they have at E3 so they are saving the big guns until then. it's soo far away :/

They are well positioned for the following years. The Wii last gen didn't get a SKU of multiplatform titles because the Wii had a nonstandard rendering pipeline, all SKUs of multiplatform titles had to be developed separately because the TEV Unit made porting software a great deal more difficult. The Wii U isn't going to have that problem thanks to Nintendo's surprisingly forward thinking with their choice of GPU and architecture. It's going to be a great deal easier for developers to port between the Wii U, PS4 and 720 than it is for them to port between the Wii U, PS3 and 360. And the difference in power isn't going to be a big deal either, all 3 consoles are going to be in the same sort of ballpark in terms of power, as they were during the 6th generation. The 720 is going to be around 3 times more powerful than the Wii U going by what we know so far which really isn't a big deal.
And you've also got to remember that the U is set to have an installed userbase of between 10 and 15m by the time the other two consoles launch, so that superior installed userbase combined with Nintendo's choice of hardware and architecture means that third party publishers aren't going to leave that sort of money on the table.
We may even see the U being the lead platform for most titles next generation, as the PS2 was during the 6th gen. it would make a great deal of sense for developers to code for the lowest common denominator...and pointless for them to work on a game that's unable to work on the console with the largest marketshare.
