Forums - Nintendo - Why do you think Nintendo seemed to ignore the Wii U this holiday?

vivster on 28 December 2014

They want to have their own console to ignore like the big players do.

Nintendo thinks Wii U wont recover so they want to make as much money as they can. Their goal is to satisfy current Wii U owners and keep them satisfied when new home console arrives. They want to finish PS3 like high note where satisfied gamers adopt next system without any hesitation.

I agree with the underlined, not so much with the bold.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Cause they want money!! Either that or they are trying to get rid of the inventory for a wiiu redesign with the slimmer gamepad we saw that day

you do know that was just an angle of the gamepad that made it look smaller right?

hopefully there will be one though

Really? Cause it doesn't look like just an "angle" thing + blurr to me... Just look at how small the bezel is?


Going out of focus does a lot of things to an object. It's not a redesign. I tested it with my camera. I cant match the angle. But see how the joysticks look liek they're more closer to the edge. My photo does it too.

The bezel to screen ratio still doesn't look anything near that though... Even if u go further, I still don't think the bezel to screen ratio will look anything like that

I don't have 3 hands. So I can't hold the pad at the proper right tilted angle. Which is what's causing that. And think about it for a second. Why would you announce a redesign in a inproper way. And forget you stuck it in a promo video. That got aproved before airing. Someone at some point had to decide to send that new gamepad to this filming atudio, film it. Than it has to get a okay from a lot of people. Too many steps where it can be pulled before airing.

Even then... Look at how big the screen is compared to the bezel on the top and even the bottom... Going off focus shouldnt decrease the bezel and increase the screensize to that degree?

Jizz its not a new gamepad, its just an ad making a product look better than it really is. In the advertising world we call this advertising =P

U do realize that it's retailers that decide many of these things? Retailers do the black friday deals and Nintendo can only ship as many as retailers order.


Retailers do black friday deals. IN COOPERATION WITH THE MANUFACTURERS.

 

Just thought I'd let you know.

It would. It's a perspective thing. Think Lord Of The Rings size trick. It works on this the same way. The blurr is extending the screen edge outword. Which is making the screen look more closer to the buttons. You also have to account for different lens sizes. My camera is a 25mm lens. They could be using a 35 or more lens. This makes more area visible. But causes more fish eye destortion.
