They are already doing bttr then the wii-u when it comes to pre orders. And they have 3rd party and actual games to back things up after launch.

The wii u broke records when it came to preorders. the same did the 3ds. And how did it go with those consoles after the launch?


Before qouting me read the rest of my post. Thanks 

I read the rest of your post. Your welcome. Pre orders doesn't mean a thing, and the Wii U has a better lineup now that the PS4 and One will have when they release. 

 

A lot of gamers will get one early on, and thats why the pre orders are so high. Do not forget what the internet means for these things. 

Look at the bolded and at your reply, the one and the ps4 will have good suppor aftert launch, unlike the game draught of the wii u. 

That line was in response to your pre order argument. They still stand. 

 

Also, the Wii U will be a cheaper alternative, with more big exclusive games coming out this christmas.

Wtf? Sony yes your right.

But wtf ga e you that impression for microsoft?

Microsoft have put the eggs in lots of baskets. Dead rising 3 latest build getting huge praise in media. Killer instinct getting huge praise in media. Ign said why the hell has it not been done in last 10 years. And ryse is getting big praise on its latest behind doors single player. Then theres the hugely praised project spark.

Dont put microsoft in the same camp as sony with its shooter and ridge racer clone. Theres a reason theres so many games on so many lists for xbox one.

Plus exclusives wise xbox one had more than double the e3 awards from media.


No. EA and Respawn had the lionshare of the awards. Microsoft just paid to have an award winning game like Titan Fall on their console for however long the exclusivity lasts. The only Xbox One first party exclusive to get nominated was Forza 5 and rightfully so. Killzone Shadowfall, GT6, Beyond: Two Souls and InFamous second son were nominated. The only Xbox true exclusive that was ever noninated between the 360 and the Xbox One was Forza 5. Forza 5 won best racer at both E3 and Gamescom and rightfully so. Theres no competition on a next generation level for them. Its more established than Drive Club as well.

PS4 won best hardware at Gamescom from the official judges in Germany.

What's Nintendo betting on?

Super Mario U - same platformer over and over again for the last 30 years.
Zelda Wind Waker - HD remake of a 10 year old game
Maro Kart 8 - Can you list 5 substantial difference between this game and Mario Kart Wii?


uhmm.. how about more games in their library than the competition?..  while the ps4one will have a drought between releases

 


This is a joke right?

by the time the consoles come out it will probably have 3x the games the Wii u has had by the end of this year and the next da FuQ ?

LOL So true. By probably Q3 next generation they will have surpassed Nintendo in software.

What if those games are enough for the fanbase to get excited? I mean, Wii Sports was enough for the Wii.

Wii Sports and the Wii Mote gave casuals a passing interest in gaming. The excitment has long since dissipated. To be honest these cutscenes that we've seen here are mostly from games the casuals would know nothing about but are well known to the core gamer.

Hey everyone, Pop Quiz! Can YOU spot the person who clearly didn't read the OP?

The difference between the Wii U and the PS4/XO is third party software.


...and graphics, a more established online system and their own specific first and second party. :)

I suspect he's talking about things that matter most to the general buying public, not online console warriors.

I won't deny it: it was bugging me too.

they will release with about the same number of games wii u had at launch. with all the wii u releases, it will take a while to outnumber wii u games, IF they ever do.
