I think its spite because everyone expected PS3 to win hands down with its magic of the cell processor.

Then when a console barely better than the gamecube with waggle controls won they where mentally and emotionally broken.

Even before launch you could see the media and other gamers bashing the console without even knowing what it could do..


Not quite sure what the PS3 has to do with the Wii U.

The Wii U is doing good now.

And the sells get better each month compare to the month before.

Strange you should mention this when the sells are blowing the PS Vita away, LOL.

Anyways, everyone prefers GamePad features over PC Graphics, so the Wii U already has an extremely bright future like the 3DS.


No, wii u is not doing good. Just this year before it hit 30k lows we were saying how pathetic 60k is. Stop moving the goal posts. And what does selling more than a poorly selling handheld have anything to do with wui u selling badly?

Apathy.

I was actually a bit excited at first. I thought, "okay, Nintendo is serious this time, they want me back." ZombiU seemed like a nice start at expanding Nintendo's audience. In the end, though, they were still mostly leaving that up to third-parties, and it's become clear that they didn't even talk to many of them.

Right now, it feels like nothing has changed. The Wii U is going to be for gamers who were already Nintendo fans. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's not what Nintendo was saying before launch.

A lot of games got cancelled... I dunno I think they talked to the third parties who sold the most on their system. Ea,Capcom,namco,sega,Ubisoft,Activision ect.

Uh did u read my whole post?

The fact that PS3 lost last gen to Wii  when everyone thought it would crush the competition is reason enough for people to hate the successor to the Wii. Hence why people bashed on it before we even knew any specs about it.

Apparently the controll ps3 fans online have in the real world is that they can make people not want the Wii U so that the Ps3 fans can make fun of it. (Shhh dont tell those fans they should have just prevented the wii from selling well)

No one uses that a reason to bash the Wii U. What reason would you give for people bashing the Vita so?

I have seen this outside vgchartz. It's small minority but they only seem big because they make a lot of noise. For the Vita I mostly see Nintendo fans hating on it because of all the "3DS is doomed, Vita will dominate". Overall, it's usually the extreme sides of the fanbases flinging mud at each other, and everyone in the middle getting caught inbetween.

Why can't it be both? For me the overall technical design of the console and choices Nintendo made are crap, and it's an easy target.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

My background as a gamer, my whole childhood was Nintendo. From Nes to Gamecube. The only othetrconsole I had in between that was the PS2. I got the Wii on launch, and it just ruined everything. Nintendo did changes for the worse, imo, to many of their franchises (Zelda, Kart, SSB), and they seem to refuse to make any new IPs which is for a more "mature" (in lack of a better word) audience. This really threw me off, and I decided to jump ship to Sony.

When it comes to the WiiU, I actually think the pad is a good idea, but so far all I see coming from Nintendo is more of the same. I have moved far, far away from my friends, and the magic with Nintendo was always local multiplayer. With that aspect gone from my life, Nintendo really doesnt have anything to offer me anymore. I dont think I will ever be a hardcore Nintendo fan/customer again. I have played the WiiU, mostly NSMBU, and it was really really boring. Super Mario World was a much more memorable game really.

They don't "get it". Wii u hate is more a wiiu mock, on the internet everything is either motive of praise or jokes. Most of people got some frustation: nobody want to have a console to play only 2-3 games. Besides, wiiu gamepad is yet to prove itself as the ultimate addition for games. I see that not every game can have a good use to it, but nintendo itself didn't made that game that proved: that gamepad changed everything. Give us a damm SC2 port, damm it.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
