Correct in every word. |
Zero999, dude step away from the Wii U prediction thread...STEP...AWAY. We all know your track record on these things lol.
With that said I'm tagging this. Will be interesting to necro.
Oh and as for OP's question: No not a chance in hell hahaha. "Wii U first place". Lol that's funny.
Easily (If the PS4 is phased out of prodution tomorrow)
Otherwise, not a chance in hell. Not even a 0000000000000000000000000.1% one.

No, you aren't listening to me.
You claimed that Sony doesn't have much money to invest, I countered that Sony has been investing in 1st parties especially when they lost the multiplat advantage to the 360. Your error is based on launch exclusives and completely ignores the fact that Sony is carrying its previous investments into this generation. It also ignores the fact that only 1 of Xb1 launch Exclusives was from a franchise MS owned, while with the exception of indies, both of Sony's exclusives are from franchises owned by Sony. Franchises produces games, buying a single ip just adds 1 game to the library, it's not a long term investment. You claim the software isn't selling the hardware now, that's valid, but it's barely been 3 months. The PS3 is still getting new games, to suggest that the PS4 would'nt have comparable support just because it had a good launch is ignoring everything that occurred before November 2013. The only thing that has changed between playstation and xbox is price, uk and us market share, and multiplat performance.
The no games argument isn't even relevant in 8th gen. In 7th gen, the 360 had huge advantages. While the ps4 has half the price advantage of 360 and virtually no headstart.

| Soundwave said: I think it would take a miracle for Wii U to outsell the N64 at this point. PS4 is going well above 50 million+ at minimum. I also think Mario Kart Wii's sales were inflated a lot by the Wii Sports casual audience. NSMB as well ... and we've seen on Wii U, NSMBU couldn't cut the mustard as far as driving hardware sales to a satisfactory level. Mario Kart 8 will do well, but it will also likely even out again to N64/GCN like levels, the casual crowd isn't paying $300 to play that again when there is no new craze/fad/hook on the Wii U. Most of them don't even know the Wii U is new system, lol, and even less want a new console period. The people who want a new console are very clearly core/hardcore gamers, Sony was smart in realizing that and making a console tailored to that audience. Nintendo just misread the tea leaves entirely. |
Casuals, casuals, casuals... when will this cheap excuse cease? Wii had amazing GAMES and that's why GAMERS bought it. certainly, there were people who weren't gamers before that bought to the system but it's just sad to keep this lie about casuals.
| gcube2000 said: Wii U is still struggling, but honestly I believe Wii U might have a slight comeback when Mario Kart and Smash. Bros come out. What do you think. |
It might have a small comeback with Mario Kart and Smash Bros (although I doubt that), but it will not catch the PS4.
It has technically outsold it from November 2012 - Present.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
Everyone realizes the extended market ("casual") migrated to mobile, right?
You don't have to like it or even accept it, but that's the way it is.
At this point in the video game industry, it's becoming increasingly apparent that Nintendo's future lies with its past; namely with the core group of fans to whom video games are synonymous with Nintendo IPs as well as the portion of the overall larger core demographic that supports any and all solid titles and franchises, regardless of platform.
There's simply a bigger market for mobile games on Android and iOS, PC/Mac and then PS4/XB1, which is reflected by the level of developer support each is currently experiencing.

The core fans weren't enough to help with the Gamecube though, which suggests Nintendo is approaching a dead end in the console space.
