I have to ask what makes you think that both ps4 & 720 are going to be so powerful? Any PC gamer can tell you the amount of cooling solutions in place to run such high end graphics cards. So how do people think that both Sony and Microsoft are going to achieve the same high level intensisty in graphics in a closed designed system such as ps4 & 720 Will be.
No i would rather him use his talents on a Geist or Eternal Darkness game for Wii U. I think he could do some amazing things with either one of those franchises, to bring them to a more popular status.
This article doesn't make much sense really! Specifically with the wiiu, because nintendo already stated that you may use external drives on it and i think SD cards top out at 64gb at the moment, but not entirely sure... but even 32gb cards would be more than enough for most people and its not like you can't swap a new one in and out or something!
Its not only odd but its the reason that these companies release say Call of Duty 1-4 so quickly. Because when companies like Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo do release new IP's, people dont even go out any support these games in the same fashion that they do with the big budget Hollywood game titles...
I think Sony and Microsoft are in an interesting position. The switch from ps2/xbox to ps3/360 was the garner of technical prowess, bluray and HD gaming. So how can Sony and Microsoft market new HD machines to replace the old unless they introduce something radically different to what they currently offer. Not to mention the fact that both consoles are still selling fairly well to!
Putting "Super Smash Bros Killer" is what made me not even want to read this article. Its a Sony All Star fighting game coming out on ps3 that has a similar play style to SSB, its not killing anything that nintendo is doing on their systems at all! As long as it turns out to be a decent game who cares
I dont think its a factor of who did what first because thats pretty obvious. But what won't make any sense is if Sony for the sake of trying to make the game original, ends up taking only bits and pieces from the SSB series and not the whole element that makes the games fun... I would rather play more of an All Stars game in the Mortal Kombat vain then SSB, I think most of Sony's IP's fall into the ripping ones heart out or head off more-so than knocking them out of the stage or ...
Personally i dont want nintendo putting an HDD in the WiiU. I'd rather them utilize putting usb 3.0 on the device and then each Customer can buy whatever drive suits them best...
Yes i agree there's only been 2 games but they have both been in this console generation... ps4 could and would do the series more justice than the ps3 right about now
My bad, i dont claim to be a financial guru but as someone else has stated, the press just seem to look for anything bad in light of nintendo news
What's so careless about throwing these numbers around is, yes Nintendo lost revenue from a year on year earnings prospective. But its very misleading to think that they still didn't make a massive profit though... There are unknown factors that we have no knowledge of and one being what is Nintendo's overall yearly operating cost? On paper yes Nintendo lost revenue from a year on year earnings, but lets say their overall operating cost is 2billion dollars and they still ended th...
I hope this rumor isn't true! They need to let the series breathe a little. Sony has enough exclusive software in development awaiting release dates to last until ps4 comes... So I don't want to see them do to their franchises what companies like Ubisoft and EA are doing with Assassins Creed and Mass Effect. I love Infamous and its clearly one of my favorite series of games on ps3 hands down. But Infamous 3 should be a ps4 launch title as should God of War 4! These are system selling ...
Yes that was Shane Satterfield from Invisible Walls that made that comment. And he's normally pretty hard on Nintendo, so you know he's not just saying the launch line up is good just to be saying it!
@darkride66: I think you obviously don't understand how an earnings statement works. Just because Nintendo reported that they expect a profit loss, this in no way shape or form has anything to with what they have already made and stockpiled in the bank. Its to be expected that transitions from one generation to another that sales are gonna decline on the previous hardware. Nintendo isn't specific on what's forecasting this potential loss, so it doesn't take a scientist to see ...
This is what gets so old about these comments. These creative directors, producers and employees all talk so left sometimes but if the suits higher up tell him to make the game for Wiiu because its a viable platform. Guess what he'll be eating crow and happily making a Wiiu version! :) lol
This has to be the most biased, fact-less, fan driven comment! Quote: "The Sony faithful's will stay!" ok so that's why the PS2 dominated last gen and the ps3 couldn't sway half of those faithful's that the PS2 did during its time... I wonder if most of you here will drop console gaming all together if Nintendo ends up leading this generation as well? Could happen people, no one thought that the Wii was going to launch them where it did and the psp was suppose to cru...
@VanillaBear: well you kind of do make a pretty broad general statement there. You used words like "Gamers and People", which mean you are speaking on behalf of someone other than yourself. And as he stated there are plenty of high rated games on the Wii that have a longer play through time than most games on 360 or ps3. So I think people should study the definition of the word Casual before they utilize it so loosely. Most fanboys use it to segregate the gaming population to feel s...
And you guys wonder why he has 5 bubbles! If you read most of his posts whether here on the Nintendo section or in other segments of this site. He normally states his opinion without bashing Sony or Microsoft to death. Yes although he is a Nintendo supporter primarily, he does so without resulting in insults... Remember you came to a Nintendo article, someone that probably has never bought a Nintendo product! Why? Just to trash someones belief of what he thinks may happen. He did't even s...
Well we know that this list of games is very incomplete and I can hardly wait until all is unveiled at e3 in about a month and a half... Everyone rags on sequels and Nintendo's history with their franchises. But who cares, if a game is good its good! As they have proven that even if the general population of videogamers don't support Nintendo's vision they'll find 90+ million other people to get on board with it.
With NFC, Bluetooth, and so many other features that we have yet to learn about. Maybe Nintendo is thinking of doing a complete 180 by going after the whole multimedia market, by trying to become the hub center, tethering and updating our mobile devices. Instead of hooking your phone into a computer, simply lay your phone down on the WiiPad to import/export photos, music, contacts or maybe they will even let us sync and update a Google account by announcing that WiiU will be on Google's C...
