IMO the console is dead, appealing to the casual with the tablet makes no sense because it is nothing new and the "hardcore" won't buy a nintendo console because they want more than just the games( consoles are media hubs now) and the KNOW(yes, they know for sure) nintendo is gonna have the worst third party support, so this console is aimed at nobody and has no market at all.

You're really not allowed to say it's dead.

Incoming Nintendo defense force lol.

That is bannable as far as I know. You should edit. At least have a little respect for other users.

I didn't insult anybody, if that's bannable, then let it be. But it's my opinion.

am i the only one that thinks dvd functionality is what slaughtered ps2's competition? When ps2 released there was no games for it. But ppl drove up the install base by purchasing it to play dvds. The large install base gave developers reason to get working. Its a perfect storm.

And then they repeated the illusion with PS3 and BluRay drive.

 

Off topic...self ban for five seconds...

Your post isn't, don't worry. He's just trying to intimidate you.

Kind of is, actually. Saying it's in trouble is opinion. Calling it "dead" is hyperbole meant to rouse a reaction. We've been debating locking this thread...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

GC's case actually didn't made any sense. It had games(1st and 3rd party), it had the controller, it had the online features, it had even an add-on that played GBA/GBC games and also GBA connection that allowed new gaming possibilities, it was the smallest and most reliable console of that generation and, most importantly for the gaming forums crowd, it had the graphics.

So, what can we conclude from all that? Gaming market makes no sense.


It couldn't be used for media and lets be honest, the games were not new or fresh. Fable was new. Halo, DMC, GTA, PoP, SotC, ES 3, KOTOR were new games. The list is huge. Splinter Cell, Ghost recon, Killzone, Hitman, Red Faction, Time Splitters, NFS etc etc etc.

Mario, metroid, and Zelda AGAIN were not new, but simple remakes. Yawn, I'll pass thanks. When they make a new game then maybe Nintendo have a chance.


Really? Geist was new, Eternal Darkness was new, Pikmin, Batallion Wars, Baten Kaitos, Resident Evil 0, etc. It also had every one of these IPs you mentioned(except Killzone, which is a Sony exclusive) and many 3rd party exclusives, mostly from Sega(since DC was dead) like Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Phantasy Star Online, Ikaruga, etc.

Your argument is invalid, except for the "it couldn't be used for media" part, which is somewhat true(if you didn't had that Panasonic GC which could play DVD movies).

Gamecube had PoP, NFS, Timesplitters, Splinter Cell, Red Faction as well.

As for Nintendo's Gamecube output, Pikmin was a new franchise, as were Eternal Darkness and Battalion Wars, and Metroid Prime/Double Dash/Wind Waker/Sunshine/Donkey Kong Jungle beat were unlike any previous entries in their franchises.

EDIT: NInja'd. XD

He explicitly stated it's his opinion. If he genuinely believes the Wii U is going to be discontinued, then why can't he explain his opinion? Saying the console is in trouble is not the same as predicting that it will be discontinued.

Counter question. If it's not games, then what is it?



I LOVE ICELAND!

The Console itself is unnatractive.

I tried the Game Pad and it feels like something new especially since it's portable,but no it's still missing something.

Many things are said on this forum that are hyperbole or meant to rouse a reaction that are not bannable. Very weak argument. He clearly states it's his opinion and goes on to explain it well enough for the average poster. You cannot ban someone for thinking a console has no sales potential, that's ludicrous, and if you think that one word is flamebaiting or worthy of moderation in a pretty innocuous post, then I think it's time for self-reflection. But then again I guess you didn't think it was worthy of moderation, since you didn't moderate him. Which tells me you just want to intimidate him into not posting his opinion from your position of authority. I've seen you do this before.

This thread as a whole? I haven't read it in detail so I can't say whether it's worth locking or not, but that's not what we're talking about here.
