"Tomb Raider, God Of War Ascension, Gears Of War Judgement, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Rising, Dead Space 3 and Bioshock Infinite are all brilliant examples of how far our industry has come; yet none of these fine titles will be released on the Wii U."

No God of War or Gears of War on Wii U? Doomed.


I wouldn't label any of those games as "examples of how far the industry has come".

More like "examples of what the industry has become".

No, but PS4 is Sony's Gamecube.

Reminds me of this thread....

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=130337

Seems like everyone wants the Wii U to be the Sega Dreamcast.  Just ctrl+f Dreamcast and see how many times the word is listed in that thread...

You're not thinking straight. Gamecube was a console produced by Nintendo, the same goes for the Wii U.

"Something that is only possible on the Wii U and could never be ported over to the PS3 or Xbox 360."

Mhm.

You just posted an article that likens the Wii U to a Sega console.

Which i'm not the author of. You do realise that, right?

OP: Was this written by HappyD?

This entire idea that Nintendo is on the verge of collapse is painfully pointless and not even remotely possible at the moment.

Just paste this article.

"Nintendo has £6.7 ($10.5) billion in the bank" - their most recent losses

http://www.gamesradar.com/nintendo-doomed-not-likely-just-take-look-how-much-money-its-got-bank/

That article pre-dates the Nintendo financial statement where their cash deposits reduced from $10 billion (which you're correct about) to $6 billion in the space of one year.  You can find the figures here in section 1.B).

The thread I keep referring back to for this information is one from last year that Kowenicki made:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=145669

I've no idea the state of Nintendo's bank account more recently than that.  It certainly is a bit outdated at this point.  Perhaps Kowen can provide us with some more up to date information.

Not posting this because I'm trying to say Nintendo are in financial trouble.  Far from it, $6 billion is still an amount which they can ride out a poor performing console on.  It's just I see that $10 billion figure thrown around a lot - both here and on reddit - and it just isn't correct.
