If they can't entice their loyal fans like me how can they entice others

DK was never a system seller.. Especially when the release is close to inFamous ps4. But Mario Kart and Smash Bros Will !!

 That's why DKC1 sold over 9 million?

u think Infamous Is a bigger system seller and will affect Donkey Kong sales?

PS3 went from 96k to 103k the week Infamous released and PS3 sales decresed the week of Infamous 2 release.

I would compare that to DKC Returns but the Wii version was released black friday week and Returns 3D is a 2.5 year old port so its hard to get an accurate comparison.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I know the OP is just ripping on Nintendo per normal but...

Wii U won't ever actually compete or be "saved" unless Nintendo makes it stand out against the 3DS.

My personal belief is that Nintendo HH's tend to over shadow their consoles. After all, for most consumers one Nintendo system should be enough. (Per gen) The Wii was highly successful because it offered something unique, and distended itself from the DS enough.

People will look at Wii U & 3DS and most will pick 3DS.


That's a rather bullshit remark. The only country where handhelds compete with consoles is Japan. No mentally sane person would compare the 3DS with the Wii U.

Really looking forward to that game actually.I'll buy a copy 1st day. But while it will sell well and have long legs, I don't really see it moving many systems.

Bet the game was finished back in November, but pushed back to fill the gap between SM3DW and Mario Kart.

Nope. Maybe X will bring in some people. I am thinking about buying a WII U when its 149 just for X.

wii U will be the best platform for platform gaming, like the SNES.

A lot of people including me are waiting for inFamous to buy a ps4, especially that we're getting a nice bundle at release, with no stock issues.

Thats a great thread idea, but the real question is:


"Will toastboy stop doing disguised "Nintendo is doomed" threads ?"
