Then how do you explain the lack of GOOD 3rd party support on the Wii then? THE best selling console of the 7th gen. Developers really wanted to make games for it, but the HW was so restricted they thought "fuck it" and just released shovelware and poor ass ports.

Maybe you're right. I can't say for sure. But right now you're just saying a bunch of random stuff without telling us your source and while having zero credibility.

If you get your PS4 E3 predictions right, then we maybe we'll take you seriously. Right now, you're just trolling Nintendo without evidence.  The best thing you can do right now is ask some moderator to close this thread for you.

The Wii's TEV hardware was totally different to the other consoles, that's why it was hard to develop for.

As for 3rd parties and Nintendo, the 3rd parties think Nintendo gamers only buy Nintendo software, so they don't invest, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Thing is though, that Nintendo developers (1st party studios) had full access to the whole 1gb RAM; they were just not permitting 3rd parties access to it - THAT'S what's fucked up. The were clearly restricting 3rd parties so that their own games could run better and look better.

Isn't that last part a bit of a tinfoil-hat conspiracy?? Where is YOUR evidence? Can you back that up? I have backed up my claims (somewhat anyways).

And why didn't 3rd parties develop Wii exclusive titles?? because it's too hard? BS! PS3 was also HARD to develop for, but it got ports and exclusives. Why didn't Wii get that? Sure it was a hard piece of HW, but so were PS3 - I'm telling you; Nintendo restricted the HW to 3rd parties making it even harder.

Multiple reasons. Let's start with your choice of words in a few spots. "Megatons" and "meltdowns" are a bit of an issue (as is "shitty"), but the real word that jumps out at me is "predictions".

Well, I actually fail to see how me using "megatons" and "meltdowns" would make you trust me any less... Remember; English is not my first language...

Then there's the attitude - talking about how, if certain claims come true, it'll somehow prove that you're not making it up. Never mind that more than half of your "predictions" are pretty much what everyone expects anyway, that one of your predictions is "a series that was exclusive going multiplatform", and that somehow the fact that the online service will be "BIG" is meant to somehow be convincing in any way.

If my predictions come true it should prove that I have inside information, don't you think? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=155705&page=1 Perhaps you'll see that I'm predicting things people aren't expecting - especially the price point. Right now I'm the only dude on the internet claiming a $349 price point. I can even explain why.

But more than anything else, it's the fact that you felt that you needed to prove yourself, and so you provided vague "predictions" of what would be shown at E3. You could have gotten some piece of information that would be cryptic now, but absolutely clear once it was announced (not something vague, but something specific, like some word in a game title, or something like that), or you could have simply said that you couldn't prove the validity without breaking trust, and left it at that.

If one cannot back up the claims laid fourth, no one will believe you and ask that you back your claims up - so I tried as best I could to back up the claim that I have inside information. That is all.

Neither would be particularly convincing, but they wouldn't have made me less trusting of your claims compared with complete silence on the question of trustworthiness.

Beyond that, in combination with your actual content, it rings of third-hand claims. Lies almost always build themselves around truths that can be found easily - the rumours of Wii U game cancellations had been swirling for the last couple of weeks already. Note that I'm not actually accusing you of lying - it's not a lie if you believe it to be true, and I can entirely believe that you were told it and passed it on.

I can't answer this properly without risking my source - I think... This is second hand claims is all I can say...

Oh, and one last thing - even if you had a lot of information about what was happening regarding the PS4, I cannot see any reason to think that this would in any way prove that what you say regarding the Wii U is accurate - knowing someone connected to Sony doesn't give you information about Nintendo, for instance.

My information comes from a 3rd party developer, not Sony...

So, yeah, like I said, your edit makes me less inclined to believe you.

No, I will not close this thread. I really do think people need to hear the truth about Nintendo. Look, I love Nintendo; I love Mario and Zelda, but I want them to be even better - and they'll never be that as long as they treat 3rd parties as shit. That has to end. I'm not trolling anyone. Come e3 and I should be proven right. If my PS4 predictions come true you'll know I have inside information, and I should be taken more seriously when I'm bashing Nintendo like this. People are always blaiming 3rd parties for the crappy support, when they should blame Nintendo.

Bullshit
