Fairly good? Well we all have our own metrics I guess ....


Dont worry after X1 flops, you'll say the same and I'll say what you posted here.

Except I won't. If Xbox did WiiU numbers I'd be saying MS should quit (much to my displeasure)

If it's double WiiU sales, which is roughly what I expect, I'll be saying it's not good enough.

And if it's above 90k weekly during the year I think that'll be a miracle!

What I won't do however is fool myself into thinking 80k going into black friday is "fairly good" it isn't, it's atrocious.

I dont believe any of this but ok. Cant wait to see the truth. Also, what if Micro removes Kinect to bring the price down around the summer or before?

What about it?

Doesn't look that good for Sony: metacritics Knack under 60 and Killzone Shadow Fall only in the 70s...

This only proves that Sony is not necessarily a gamemaker at heart as johnlucas said! I now see it, the games were kinda thrown into the market pretty early....the rushed-consoles-theory seems to be true...

Ironically, Knack would have benefitted from being delayed alongside Drive Club. A bad game is allways bad, but a delayed game can eventually be good. But in all fairness, most of the Sony published games are decent quality games.

Driveclub will be naff too, but you know what? Doesn't matter. PS4 will sell first year alone based on price, then next fall the decent software will start hitting.

If people here genuinely believe Sony can't put out decent software they're crazy.

I literally have no opinion on the matter, I'm buying one at launch with kinect so I don't see how it affects me?

I'm sure if they do that they felt it was really neccessery for sales and the lower price (an actual price cut) will help.



 

I think I didn't wrote my post very well. My apology.

Don't get me wrong, I've owned the wii u since february, and I am a Nintendo fan since I was a child. I always had faith that Wii U would do well eventually. My concern during a big part of the year was that Wii U wouldn't get alot of third party support, and since I've read John Lucas' post on August 09, my concern's been lifted. I knew Wii U would dominate the market eventually, but until August 09, I didn't know it would dominate THE INDUSTRY. John Lucas explained himself on that, and it makes sense. That's why I don't feel concerned anymore.

How is the Wii U now or in the future dominating the industry? If anything, it's being ignored by both the audience and the industry. If the Wii with the crazy sales and incredible hype couldn't muster any 3rd party support, a slow-moving Wii U with no installed base, an awkward controller and weaker hardware certainly won't.

Contrary to belief, it is allowed to be positive on the Wii U's behalf, that's just fine. Two things, however; one is that it will never have good 3rd party support, Nintendo haven't really had that since the SNES, and the other is simply get to down to earth, even if it manages to recover and sell, I dunno, three times as much on average as it has, it will still end up somewhere around mediocre, certainly no where near domination.

In 2006/2007/2008, PS3 fans were being very unrealistic, defensive and loud, has the Nintendo fanbase not learned anything from this period, and can't they see that they have become the new loud, defensive and unrealistic group?

As far as John Lucas' predictions go, he got one thing right (the Wii will be a success) and that's it. Pretty much everything he predicted since has failed, not only a little either. Personally, I think he's more about entertainment, judging by his writing skills and (sometimes) good arguments, he's obviously pretty intelligent, I just can't fathom that all this show is in earnest.
