c0rd said: I'm confused, did he really write that whole thing up just to highlight the pro's of having a weaker console? And that being the factor in the Wii U beating the next two consoles? The problem with that is, the PS3 and 360 are still on the block. There's no reason the Wii U would ever have better third party support than either of the two (especially when you assume the touch controller isn't a factor). |
Exactly.
If devs are really going to stay with the lower powered consoles, they'll stick with the ones that have a collective 140 million+ install base for a while. Whatever secret sauce the Wii U has could take years to tap into fully. There's no incentive for third parties to do such heavy lifting, especially in the first couple of years.
And the Wii's motion controls were always the main selling point. Nearly ALL the top selling Wii games are built around the Wiimote and other periperals, with many still charting to this day. The Gamepad is just as important for the Wii U; Nintendo's utilization of the hardware in a way that convinces people to buy the system is the only way third-parties will come on board. Otherwise, they'll just continue to stick with what they know--right alongside consumers, who have been doing just that since New Years.

Do a little research, those number are not wrong. The problem is all the hate towards Nintendo, MS, & Sony. It doesn't help anyone, yet every day people spew crap about them just to start trouble. If you were a true gamer, you would enjoy the fact that all three companies have great systems out. |

By the point third parties might realize that they need to sell more games, the Wii U will most likely be dead in the water already due to a lack of third party support. This will not result in any sort of measures that benefit Nintendo, but rather efforts to milk the consumers on Sony and Microsoft consoles even more. The intent behind the Wii U was to get third party support. It's not coming and it's not going to come, so the strategy has failed. The final point, the inevitable failure for many third parties, is about the only good thing that is coming from Nintendo's self-destruction in the eighth generation. |
remind me how things were for the 3ds 3 months after launch and how they are now. Short memory huh?!
Predict to me this: what will happen if nintendo releases a 3d mario and mario kart 8 with say a 70 euro/dollar price cut this christmas? take into account that zelda ww remake will already be out.
Yeah... maybe you are proclaiming failure a bit too early eh? i remember the claims that the vita was going to destroy the 3ds and how doomed it was.

I agree that as of now there isn't much to draw in consumers. But I disagree that it won't change. The blog post IS wishful thinking, but the future in no way looks bleak. If it looks bleak for Nintendo, it looks bleak for everyone. Finally, your last sentence is, sadly, spot on. You'd think video game creators would appreciate the ability to create new game experiences, but more often than not they zero in on the lowest common denominator. |
yup ^.^ i am not concerned about Nintendo at all with the Wii-U.

RolStoppable said: That's a lot of optimism coupled with ignoring reality. Based on Nintendo's financials it's pretty clear that Nintendo doesn't have much of a strategy. The THQ failure also shows that third parties would rather go bankrupt than reconsider their stance regarding game development on a Nintendo home console. The blog post also tries its best to link the Wii and Wii U, but where this comparison crumbles is that the Wii was a hit while the Wii U is not. Additionally, Nintendo didn't bet the farm on the Wii. If the Wii struggled out of the gate, they had plenty of room to make a price cut. The Wii U, on the other hand, was a huge gamble. |
Did you just blame Nintendo for THQ going backrupt? You seriously did this?

Or maybe they could not develope on a Nintendo console because they were going bankrupt.
