Ok. Sorry.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

You know, a lot of people only upgrade consoles if THEY FEEL the update is worth. I mean, if they fell that a lot has changed.
When you think about it, thought, Nintendo never really release a home console that blew competition away, except, of course, for the NES.

The Snes only catched up with the Genesis, with minor improvements, and it still sold a LOT.

The Nintendo 64 wasn´t even up to date with the CD tech that the PSone had.

The Gamecube was a little better than the PS2, but very little.

The Wii did not compete with nothing, it was his own thing and DESTROYED in the market.

So, I guess Nintendo thinks they don´t have to be better than anyone to turn a profit. And, history proves them right.

To me it has no appeal, because I wanted to fell the same rush and excitment I felt when I trade my Snes for a powerfull Psone, but, I know dozens of millions of gamers don´t care about that.

Well, only time will tell. But, I am sad because I really wanted to own a Nintendo console again. (I have a #DS, but it doesn´t count).

I agree i think they are sitting on something to show off when the competition gets anounced. I also think that all the unknown about the other two systems is hurting the wii u because so many people are still sitting on the fence. Nintendo is also in a very strange place for them in the market rite now. Once the solid facts are out about the other two systems people will either be disapointed and will take a second look at the U or they will love the new beasts but they will be so expensive the market will correct itself and nintendo can go back to being a very good affordable alternative for most people who cant or wont pay 500-600 for a new game machine.  Either way its good for wii u to get these other consoles out so people can make a decision and it gets them out of the most expensive console slot which is not where they wanna be.

I think you make a good point, BUT... Nintendo screwed that up also. I cant see how anyone will be more disappointed with a new PS4/Xbox hardware tech wise, than a machine (wii-u) that is only slightly better than a peice of kit thats 6/7 years old (ps3/Xbox).... unless they make it totally underpowered (which i cannot see happening. Nintendo should have made the Wii-U more powerful... but they decided to go down the route of keeping the cost down, but then put a big dev cost on the controller instead... crazy.

As for Colonial Marines, this could have been one of the titles that some people were excited about in terms of controller usage, but not only is it going to come out later on Wii-u than PS3/Xbox (any fans will want it day 1 to be honest), there is also some rumours that the game (on all platforms) is not that great :(

Jay, you didn't read the thread and I'm not going to re-explain the points all over again.



You're right I didn't read the entire thread and I shouldn't have to. I shouldn't have to dig through 150+ posts just so I can see you explain your points. That's what the OP is for. You should have explained all of your points explained in one cohesive post via the OP; rather than have peices of your strategy scattered though the thread. Do you realize how difficult that makes it to understand your point? I shouldn't have to waste 15-20 minutes of my time going on a scavenger hunt just because you decided not to provide any support in your OP.

Now again, that strategy, as explained in the OP, makes no sense.



nintendo its silent because of sony copy paste

No oO, that's what a thread is for, to discuss.
We've gone over all the points, I'll try to be arsed to write them all for you, but the dialogue is all there it'll be tiring to go through it all over again.

After a thread becomes so huge, it's silly to expect everyone to read it in its entirety. The OP is supposed to fully explain your point of view . Not only is it convenient for others, but it also makes your points stronger by grouping them all in a single cohesive post.
