You're right that it's easy. . .

It hasn't been released yet.

Wow mixed opinions i see, how about we judge the system when it actually comes out.

"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

NINTENDO VS APPLE!"

Since when was Nintendo and Apple fighting in the home console market?

But anyway. Nintendo doesn't Bust. You can't Bust and have Mario,Kirby,DK,Zelda,Pikman,SS B,Metriod,Pokemon. It just doesn't work.

Its not about the console market but about the casual market.

My two little sister were die hard Wii fans and my mom both got them Ipads (which are jailbroken)and they can not put it down, the Wii is in the corner of the living room collecting dust.

I know my 2 sister are just 2 people but Ipad games are really addictive and perfect for kids.

I showed my 2 little sister the new WiiU and they were like mehhhh and quckly youtubed best free ipad games.

part of the console market is the casual market.

There is this thing that is called kinect and wii.

yabhero5095d ago

Good thing they aren't WiiU's main market then...

Godchild10205095d ago

I don't know, but what I do know is that I want the image of Mario getting ready to fight the Apple logo.

Like others, I will wait until I have the Unit in my house to pass judgement.

koh5095d ago

Personally, I doubt it'll be the money printer that was the first few years of the Wii, OR the fairly clear disappointment of the last few years. I absolutely believe it will have solid third party support in the beginning, but I need to see what kind of hardware the next gen Xbox/PS will be working with to decide if it can compete in the long term. I'll probably buy one at some point, but that's just my nature.

NastyLeftHook05095d ago

wii u is going to be awesome, i love zelda and metroid and always will.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi120d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer121d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot121d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno121d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay121d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno119d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK119d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
