its delusional to think that third party support is not necessary. lack of third party support is what sank the N64 and gamecube in sales. nintendo exclusives, no matter how good they are, are not enough to sell anything more than 30 million consoles or so.

they only reason the wii got by without third party support was because of a casual motion control craze. and even though it sold more units, it was still the least played console of last generation.

i dont know why there is a pre rendered cut scene in there and anything having to do with dead island....

i would much rather have it be $500. an extra $100 would go a long way, and I think it would be a worthy investment

4868d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

well there certainly isnt going to be a casual craze to prop up this console, like the wii. that is for sure. so nintendo is in pretty big trouble here. im predicting gamecube-like lifetime sales. in the 20 million range

I truly hope this rumor is total BS.

sony, if you release anything like the wii u, im not buying the console. and I have bought every single one youve made so far, including the PSP and vita.

If the PS4 does not have that next gen leap, you are not getting my money. I will drop the playstation brand like a hot potato, if you pull a "nintendo" on us.

I mean the PS2 sold as much as the original xbox and gamecube combined and multiplied times 3. THAT is the kind of domination I want to see again.

4869d ago 3 agree0 disagreeView comment

thats a pretty hollow definition of "dominating the industry." making the most money does not equate to "being the most relevant, important, or innovative."

lets get something straight. companies that profit primarily off of casuals, like apple with the Ipad or nintendo with the Wii, do not in any way detract from or dominate the PS3 or xbox360. they are, for all intents and purposes, an entirely different market.

and no matter how much mo...

if it launches with uncharted 4 as well..... the PS4 will reclaim PS2 status in terms of industry domination.

the most I would pay is $600

if you really need it to be under $400, then ask your parents for a raise in your allowance

i figured this would go multiplat. when I first heard it would be wii u exclusive I was like

"...what?... thats pretty random."

same thing with bayonetta 2. im guessing that will go multiplat in the future. its going to bomb horribly on the wii u.

that whole VGA stunt was the biggest load of payed off nonsense I have ever seen. either that or just super biased judges. it was all just a ploy to boost the sales of the game.

its funny how after it got that award, reviewers who had previously given the episodes ratings of 7s and 8s, all of a sudden give the collection 9s and 10s. its a joke. the walking dead is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a 10/10 game.

and then the collection gets these high me...

if this is all true, then microsoft just handed the victory to sony.

this game stays true to its roots, expands where neccessary, is well polished, and it gives the fans what they have been wanting for 7 years

polygon gives it a 6/10

dead space 3 is dumbs down the franchise into generic action schlock, completely missing the tone and point of the first game by a country mile

polygon gives it a 9.5/10

any financial success nintendo made with the casual pandering of the wii barely offset the utter disaster that was the gamecube. and they have been bleeding money the past 3 years.

the wii was by far the least played console this generation, despite selling more units. it has been collecting dust on most people's shelves for the past 4 years

getting hyped over a 1.5 second clip of a monster mostly shrouded in darkness?

please, people. go take a look at the "God of War ascension" first 30 minutes and look at the detail on the boss (which is actually in good lighting).

i dont see how you can justify a score like this.

sly 4 is not an incredibly innovative game, but that does not make it a 6.5/10. it stays true to its roots, whose mechanics were already polished to begin with.

its appeal isnt just to people who like the sly franchise, but people who like good 3D platformers in general. there is no reason to shoot this game down. sly 4 does the series and genre justice.

funny how sites like Eurogamer give nintendo a completely free pass when it comes to rehashing platformer franchises.

they gave new super mario bros 2 an 8/10
new super mario wii 9/10
new super mario u 9/10
donkey kong country returns a 9/10
kirby's epic yarn 8/10

its ok for nintendo to retread the same ground they have been treading for 20+ years, but a sequel to a franchise that ended 7 years ago? apparently that has to be h...

confirming everything I have said for the last year. it was so blatantly obvious that the wii u would be underpowered.

and all the while nintendo fanboys simply refused to accept it. They belittled, thumb downed, and ridiculed everyone who 100% CORRECTLY predicted that the wii u was essentially a last gen console. they should feel extremely embarrassed and guilty now.

for 2011 and 2012, nintendo fanboys came out of the woodwork, running their mouths about &qu...

well it cemented my decision to NOT buy the game. its everything I feared. this is no longer a survival horror franchise

if you have never held another controller in the past 20 years, then yes, I can see why you would call the wii u gamepad "the best controller ever."

The wii u gamepad sucks for racing games (lacking any sort analog triggers). It is awkward in fighting games. the analog sticks are not well placed for FPS and TPS games.

anyone who says its the "best controller ever" should be embarrassed. and if you're not, allow me to feel embarrassed ...
