that lineup would be great but sadly its not very realistic, when was the last time a Nintendo home console had a 1st/2nd party exclusive every single month? even the list i provided is pretty optimistic.

in order for Wii U to get that great of a release schedule, Nintendo would almost have to abandon 3DS which they clearly wont.

there's no comparison between wii u and ps360. wii u is clsoer to xone and ps4.

he mentioned nintendo could have a 70 million base for their products instead of 7 million for the likes of bayo 2 and HW. so, yes, it was like saying wii u current 7 million was its final ltd.

no way in hell wii u will sell that little. soundwave only posts negativity and delusions. he never says anything positive about nintendo. he's just a troll.

your list was pessimistic, mine was optimistic. I think reality will be in between.

particularly, I think X will release in may/june, because nintendo clearly wanted it for 2014, but simply couldn't do it. ike mario kart 8.

how is there no comparison? which games on Wii U are leaps and bounds more graphically impressive than PS360 games?

how can he say 7 million and 18 million are both Wii U final sales?

and what data/trends do u have to back up Wii U selling much more than 18 million? like i said its currently tracking a few million behind GC in tbe same time frame, which sold under 22 million, if that continues it will finish this gen around 18 million. yes its possible it sells more but using current data/trends it wont.

it doesnt matter that soundwave is negative towards Nintendo, hes actually a big Nintendo fan and loves many of their games, hes just very critical of them when they make mistakes. being negative doesnt change the fact that most of the things he says are based on truth.

wii u is leaps and bounds above ps360. 3d world, mario kart, pikmin, bayonetta 2, zelda, xenoblade...

he posted with all the words about how nintendo "could have an installed base of 70 million (final) for its games to sell, instead of 7 million. it was as if 7 million was wii u's final ltd. that's why it was stupid.

by the end of the year, the naysayers will be pretty quiet with their sub 30 million predictions for wii u.

all of those games could run on PS360, perhaps slightly downgraded but to say those consoles simply could not handle them is niave.

perhaps he could have worded it better but clearly he did not mean Wii U would end at 7 million when he said 18 million as well which u even pointd out.

what are u basing this on? u cant critisize Soundwave for saying it will sell less than GC when he is actually using data to support his prediction then go on and give a prediction with nothing to support it.

all ps4 and xone games can be downgraded to ps360 (so true that its even happening in some cases). the fact stands that wii u is on another level, when compared to ps360. it's bellow ps4 and xone, but all three far surpass the ps360.

I'm basing it on the current sales + possible sales for the games coming in the next months + bundles and holidays.

Wii U's dreadful release schedule was because Nintendo were busy with tons of great 3DS games, hence why 2013 was such a big year for the handheld. After that they transitioned resources to Wii U, hence its improved release schedule recently and into 2015, and 3DS's lack of games this year and bleak outlook for 2015.

Nintendo are fully capable of sustaining a single platform with frequent quality 1st and 2nd party games, and the odd 3rd party release here and there. They cannot, however, sustain two, considering the resources needed for game development nowadays. That's why it looks next gen's going to be great for them.

The quote trees - for the love of God cut the quote trees

Nintendo will never "fix" their software output. Some of those "2015" games will inevitably be altered or delayed.  But, you know what?  That's okay!  When they do release games, some of them are amazing, and they make me want to go out and spend $60. Not many things cause me to want to do that.

The reality is, they just don't have the resources to pump out new games every eight weeks all year round. Which, in comparison to Sony and Microsoft, I still say Nintendo actually releases more first party titles than they do. I don't actually have hard numbers, but Nintendo just gets a bad rap due to the lack of cooperation from third parties.

Perhaps some day a unified Nintendo device will make it so you can play handheld and home console games on the same device, and there is no need for separate software and software teams.
