Forums - Gaming - Opinion From My Past-Self - Why The Wii U Will Outsell The PS4

This is not my opinion now, but it was in early 2013, back when I was an 11-year-old Nintendo fanboy who hated the other companies, before the PS4 was announced. Esiar from 2015 is out, welcome to Esiar from 2 1/2 years ago!

Hello. I am Esiar. The year is 2013. This is why the Wii U will destroy the PS4.

1 - PS4 will have too many generic games

All they are going to have is rehased games and shooters with realistic graphics and not fun, innovative, and original games like Nintendo.


2 - Wii U is outracking the PS3 and 360

Wii U sold 2,524,845 units after 3 months, while PS3 sold 1,769,656, and 360 sold 2,029,160. PS4 will be a clone of the 360 and PS3, but with more power, so PS4 will do just as much as the console it will copy.


3 - Wii U has an innovative idea

Wii U's GamePad is innovate and PS4 will not be innovative. Wii U's innovation will sell consoles


4 - Wii U has flagship titles

Nintendo will announce a new 3D Mario at E3 2013. Sony will announce Uncharted 500 for the PS4.


And that's what I would have said if it was 2 years ago, and if I knew about Uncharted then.



Can't wait for The Zelder Scrolls 3: Breath of The Wild Hunt!

There are as many 3D Mario games as Uncharted games, so I don't understand this logic. In fact, I think that there are more:

 

Super Mario 64

Super Mario Sunshine

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario 3D World

 

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End



I forgive you. Some of your arguments made sense. You can never really know the future, that's for sure.



Well you were 11 so that lets you get away with a lot of stuff in this regard.



Haha you joke, but these kinds of posts weren't that uncommon back in the day hahaha.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

"There were 5 3D console Mario games after 17 years, and there will be 4 console Uncharted games after 9 years"

huh? I thought you had a different name back then?

I was a lurker at VGChartz in the first half of 2013. I prefer calling myself Nintentacle, but my account is Esiar, so it doesn't make any sense.

Is that how people will try to deflect criticism for wrong assertions now? Blaming it to imaginary old-selves?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

It wouldn't make sense.

Reported for baiting another User and mocking him for a past prediction.
