I wouldn´t even blame the industry, because Nintendo is still somewhat popular among players. I´d blame the sick and childish videogame "media" or "journalism" for this supposed Nintendo freezing

Who do you think the gaming media speaks for?

People who like playing video games who didn't had anything better to do with their life other than talk about games?

He has a name, which I don't know! What's with your profile pic?

What do you mean what's up with my profile picture? Can you not see it or something?

Oh, now EYE get it!



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

The constant bashing of Nintendo from guys like those is the sole proof that Nintendo isn't irrelevant. It reminds me of the whole "any press is good press" phrase we always hear. Nintendo will have a problem when people are not even trying to bash them anymore. You don't hear these kind of things about the Vita from anyone and that's the sign of true irrelevance.


Quoted for truth.

 

Also Sony didnt incent remote play. Nintendo actually did that first too. They were the first to consider connecting your portable to your console. They had an online service in the 80s so to speak. Vita TV? Super gameboy anyone?  They had a service where you could buy blank carts and load them into a device at the mall, install a game, take it home and play it, then when you were done you brought it back and got another game

Nintendo first has to release appealing first party games, so that the install base of the Wii U grows.

Then third-party companies should attempt to create content, and advertise correctly.

They're not doomed, we've all seen this before.


The Wii has a bigger install base then the PS3 or 360. 3rd parties never tried.

Wii U has a bigger install base then PS4 or X1. 3rd parties are using the WIi U install base as an excuse.

Of course, the PS4 and X1 just launched. Still I don't think most 3rd parties will attempt to launch their games on the Wii U, especially if the install base don't grow quicker.

And yes 3rd parties never tried out the Wii in full, and the games didn't have a chance against the first party games in terms of sales. Except some party games, and hardcore games that were released very early, like Red Steel and RE4 Wii edition. I think those got big sales because it was before very many jumped ship to the HD consoles, and the Wii was still cool in their opinions.



Yep.

No they aren't irrelevant. But people act like they are for some reason. I don't like that



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

That's definately who the gaming media speaks to.

But make no mistake. Who the gaming media speaks for are the big third party companies that make up the 'game industry'.



I LOVE ICELAND!
