Infamous Second Son didnt have 6 month advertising and marketing campaign lol.. Titfanfall was advertised more than Call of Duty leading up to its launch.. Second Son performed on 1 platform.. sold over 1 million in like a week which isn't to shabby..
Console sales are more of an indication of success.. Titanfall didnt give the x1 nearly the bump it needed to trump the ps4 the month of Titanfalls release.
When did having the ability of doing something and not using it become such a disadvantage.
Your opinion of RTS / MMOs is just your opinion. Considering the online user base of both DOTA and WOW and even Starcraft trump anything ever released on console... And what does it matter whether it stays exclusive or not the point of this thread is to get the best combo .. which IMO is Wii U + PC .. you get the most exclusives and the best graphics with that combo when compared to anything else.
Also you act like the PC platform is this crap platform that only gets shitty ...
You do realize all the highest selling games that the playstation and xbox get were originally developed on the PC.... Most the gaming engines you get on consoles were made for the PC lol .. And those crappy ports you talk about run and look better maxed out on a PC than most consoles...
Unreal , Forsbite, Cry Engine, Source, and so on are all engines made for PC games that are used on consoles now..
COD, BF, Borderlands, Diablo, Titanfall... are all games th...
PC + Wii U combo is by far the best combo platform. PC has steam and by far the cheapest games (steam sales) along with the ability to play MOBO / RTS games. Not to mention PC games are fully backwards compatible forever.. Endless upgrades to make games look and run better with unlocked or cap'd frame rate..
Then you have the Wii U which has some of the best gameplay around with fully exclusive content that cant be had on any platform.
I like both the x1 ...
Quality exclusives? With metacritic scores averaging 75 or above ?
Technically we don't know if it is struggling yet cause that price hasn't been available as long.
But ya no one is taking about how the Wii u still has more sales (and is outpacing it) and how Microsoft gave up on the kinect or how they are screwed in Japan.
I really feel like they will add content .. It makes no sense to add content to Pikmin 3 or Super Mario U or even Mario Golf and not Mario Kart 8. The life of the Wii U depends on the MK8 selling well over time. If they offer more tracks and characters that is an added revenue stream for Nintendo... Hell if they just added free content to the game that is more of a reason to purchase.
If Mercedes paved way for DLC by giving Nintendo Millions to include a timed exclusive.. I am all for it.. Bring on more Karts,characters, and tracks /battle arenas,
I dont see a problem with it really just as long as we dont start seeing more actual cars in the game.
The more interesting part of this whole thing is if Nintendo adds a DLC section within MK8 that allows you to download it. Because if that happens we all but confirmed that more will be coming ...
I just dont get some people .. The xbox 360 4gb with no pack in game or gamepad or motion controller or any accessories.. goes for 180 bux the kinect version goes for 250... The ps3 12 gig is going for 250...
People judge the Wii U as being last gen or between current and next gen .. by that logic it is priced exactly where it should be ... 299.99 for Mario Luigi Bundle (2 games , free online, gamepad, and backwards compat) and for 329.99 you get the Mario Kart 8 Bundle (Wii ...
Maybe it means when u buy two it discounts 1 to free?
I'm 100% in if it has split-screen online coop .. so I can hope on with my wife and dish out some pain. From the sounds of this interview that might not be what they do?
When Mario Kart 8 / Bayonetta 1&2 / Hyrule Warriors / Smash Brothers / Captain Toad / Watchdogs / Project cars drive sales this year into the holidays it will create a more robust install base that will buy Splatoon. Part of the reason it is being released sometime in 2015 is to give new users and existing users somewhere to look for a shooter.
So naturally it doesnt have to drive console sales.. That job is being done by heavy hitters in 2014 .. It just needs to release ...
I have not heard anything good about this game as far as gameplay and pacing. It is cool that they are using the cry engine, but from all the podcasts and reviews ive seen from the e3 show floor everyone is saying the game is still being optimized and was very rough in terms of performance.
Hopefully they can tighten it up and show other devs that the cry engine is viable.
Price just isnt the solution to all its problems. It is the appeal of the system to certain people. Some people just dont like Nintendo first party games enough to justify making it the main console that wont get many third party titles. Some like myself have an alternative platform to pair with Nintendo to cover our bases... And some would just rather have a ps4 and x1.. Nintendo just needs to make more interesting software and convince people.
The platform itself is at a pr...
You cant patch limitations of the hardware. And I dont personally own the game but I put some time into it when visiting my other in law. My issue is prolly that ive played it extensively on PC so my expectations must be higher.
Everything is within mario maker it doesnt need to load any other software I believe. It is a stand alone game.
Have you seen how bad it runs and looks on the vita? Numbers won't sustain.
If mario maker is robust and levels can be shared easily thru miiverse it will be wildly successful.
Imagine if Mario Kart got the same advertising push as TitanFall lol ... It did 1.2 million in 2 days and 2 million in less than a month with Nintendo pushing it harder than usual.
