Poor WiiU...

Don't feel bad. Nintendo needs to feel some pain.

We need to make sure they're going to work extra hard on the Switch.

Its not about work ethics... its about haveing the right "mind set" from the get go, and makeing smart design choices.

Nintendo dont play it safe, they love to gamble. Sometimes it pays off big like with the Wii.

Othertimes their "idea" from the onset just isnt good, and they run with it, and market goes "nope we dont like this", and you end up in a Wii U like situation.

Not only that though, they made bad hardware design choices (that tablet controller costing 80$ in BoM was a issue through the intire gen for them).

Their marketing messed up too... and nintendo went with a bad name for the console.

 

Nintendo dont need to "work hard" on the switch.

They need to play it safe, and listen to their consumers.

An excellent learning experience then! I think the reveal for the Switch was pulled off quite well.

You're right about the gambler part though: makes things exciting.

I think I'd prefer Nintendo work hard on the Switch. I'm going to need them to if they want my hard-earned money.



I'm very interested in the end result

Ps4 is selling out in Portugal too, black Friday is full swing here, no deals for Xbox sadly on Ps4.

well... not much to say. Nintendo has just let it die (contrary to what some ppl say support wise).

I guess most of the best games will get a 2nd lease on life with the Switch.

They did a great job delivering many notable games on it, even with its terrible hardware sales. Unlike other company with a product that is not even mentioned on OP.

196 euro = 207$

Its just a plain slim model but thats a pretty nice price.

Yep it seems like Sony is trying harder in europe.



Sony are sitting pretty with the Slim and the Pro. Slim for when they want to sell because of price alone and Pro when they want to promote price + 'value'.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Support hasn't been THAT different though.

It's hard to take something remarkable from that list. Wii U has games from huge franchises like MK8 and Smash4, many exclusive releases considered the best from its franchises like Pikmin 3, XCX and DKTF, big surprises like Splatoon and SMM and there is the upcoming Zelda. Vita has a skipabble uncharted game. 

 

Btw, AFAIK Borderlands is a T2's game
