Indeed there is no revolution at hand, I never belived in the revolution as a whole though. I mean I never really agreed with johnlucas vision of Sony and Microsoft going out of bussiness. That is really unlikely to happen this gen. I agreed though that the console could make a massive turn around. But I was proven wrong so many times it's time to accept it! There is not possible turn around. I hope you are right and we get another Nintendo console, I need my Zelda fix

I stated in another post, don't remember which thread, that Nintendo have two modes of operation; poor and brilliant. Well, the Wii U is, in my mind, poor, that makes it somewhat likely that the next one could be brilliant.

Now, amazing as this may sound; I'm planning on buying a Wii U myself in the future, with the backwards compatability I can enjoy all the 1st parties from two generations on one console and within reasonable time, the price of the Wii U is going to be pretty low at any rate.

Well I did the same thing. I own a Wii U because that way I have access to the Wii library. Sad thing is I'v been playing Wii games more than Wii U games -.-. You won't regret the purhcase though, when the system is cheaper and gets more games, it will be worth every penny .

I own a Wii U and like it very much.I´m really enjoying TW101 and Mario 3D World, and next year there´ll be plenty of games I´m looking forward to, but the system is a complete sales disaster, it is what it is.

At this point, It´s for the best for a Nintendo fan not to get so emotionally invested in sales and just enjoy the games.

Exactly. As for me, what I'm doing in here is attacking Nintendo's strategy, or lack thereof, and the notion that they are somehow more relevant in modern days than others and will be the sole survivor of some imaginary cataclysm. The N64 is my second favorite console of all time and the HD twins with their diluting formula paired with the Wii's proposal to the casual userbase at the expense of N64 fans ( ) was what ultimately made me more or less 100% a PC gamer, there simply wasn't enough to offer on consoles as a whole. The userbase being 100 million or 20 million doesn't really affect the entertainment factor of the software (but will, or course, affect the software support) either way.

There were some interesting bits here and there in software but overall, the 7th generation was incredibly dull to me. I bought a total of less than 20 console games for the entire 7th gen, as opposed to well over 150 in the 6th gen despite having a lot more money to spend now. My PC collection has grown by over 200 games in the span of the 7th generation though and I've bought two gaming rigs up to now.

All three console manufacturers have taken a turn lately and gone down a path that doesn't interest me, simple as that (online gaming and social integration means nothing to me, same goes for achievements and alternative controllers).

If they released a strategy game based on the Game Pad im sure it would be great, but i do agree that the Game Pad is very gimmicky, albeit it still can be used by many genres, the RTS being one of them.

One more day, Mummelmann.
The rebuttal's almost done.

If I didn't have this busy work schedule slowing me down, you would have seen it much earlier.
Don't fool yourself about Wii U's turnaround. It is already in progress.
Keep your eye on Japan. It has already broken free from the 7th gen shadow by consistently & greatly outselling the PS3.
If you doubt Wii U's ability to make the turnaround, remind yourself about the 3DS.
But let me save the rest for the rebuttal...don't wanna give too much away.

P.S.: JGarrett, we'll have our conversation after Mummelmann. It won't take as long I promise.

Quick reply.

They already have "Wii Sports 3".
It's called Wii Sports Club & it's a hidden killer app within Wii U.
And Wii Party U was instrumental in shifting Wii U's fortunes in Japan.
The turnaround is happening right now. All these guys are quibbling about is the speed of the turnaround.

Dear John Lucas,

    Your prediction so far is completely wrong with not a shred of evidence to say otherwise. You really need to assess why Nintendo's success is so important to you, so much so that you go as far as to bend the truth and create an alternative reality. That bro, that right there, is some messed up shit.

Yours sincerely,

As soon as the Wii U debut I knew it was going to fail big time. I predicted however the Wii would succeed.

Nintendo should have gone AR Glasses gaming for the Wii successor http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=174328&page=3#5 . That would have continued the Revolution
