Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Reggie, implies that there isn't a big difference between Xbox and PS4

There are some differences, but generally, they are very similar.

So I guess I agree. Love ya reggie.

When Reggie's blatantly right, all you can do is make digs at the WiiU's sales.


Well the sales imply the Wii U should be more like the other machines. What they're doing doesn't have mass market appeal.

If they can somehow drop that tablet controller, things could be better.

I agree, the WiiU should be more like the PS4One in multiple ways, but how exactly are they supposed to make it like that now? All they could do now is build their online infrastructure and expand their teams as a means of readying for a smoother launch for their next console.

And third parties probably wouldn't have gotten back with Nintendo even if they had a console identical to the PS4. 

No, dropping the WiiU gamepad would make things worse. They'd lose one of the few selling points they've got left, and they'd be left with a weak, third party-less, and generic console.



Being too cocky is what put nintendo in this situation



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

Man... you're supposed to be on top to be this arrogant.

I thought that was already implied by logic and the gift of sight.

I dont understand the reaction. What he is saying is true.

The difference between PS4 and X1 isnt big. Theres only a few differences in terms of software. The Wii U is a more atractive second system than X1 or PS4 are for the other.

Or... is this supposed to be console wars because PS4 is more powerful therefore there is a world of difference to the X1? Well, there is a difference, but the multi-plats still come out for both and look largely the same.

People said the same thing about Kinect. But it turns out people want a generic console more than a gimmick.

The Wii U doesn't have to be a generic console, even without the tablet it still have the Wiimote. They should have kept pushing the Wiimote, not that tablet.

Lets be honest, the tablet is a big reason for the Wii U's failure. It made the console expensive, few developers want to use it, and consumers don't want it.

I don't know why people are getting so defensive about something so true.
Taking pot-shots at the Wii U's sales doesn't make him any less right. I don't like using this statement that much, but I'll use it now: That's a strawman.

Nintendo PR should learn not to be arrogant.They always say things like "we are different" or "our console doesn't need filthy third party software" and yet their console is failing.


Relax. Reggie nor anyone else at Nintendo has called third parties "filthy"

Ultimately, you, me and everyone else knows that ultimately people buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games. He's basically acknowledging just that. That's not being arrogant, that's simply being realistic.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
