I keep saying the same thing as you! People know very well that when both Square and Epic showed off Agni Philosophy and the Samaritan demo. That what was shown was only capable on hardware pushing close to 3Tflops in power. So why do people continue to disillusion themselves into believing that these systems will produce something better than what we've already seen?
So I just wanna put this math out here so I can figure out where the line is being drawn to be considered next-gen. According to the rumored specs, Sony makes PS4 4.5x the power of PS3 and Microsoft makes 720 5x the power of the 360 and these next consoles will be considered next-gen by all. But Nintendo makes the WiiU 2.5x the power of the 360 and somehow it just doesn't make the cut for some reason...(The most unknown factor is that even with the WiiU on store shelves, no one really kno...
Actually if you knew anything about the rumored specs, you would know that these systems are projected to be 2-3 x the power of the WiiU. Isn't the PS3 suppose to be twice as powerful as the 360 was. What games on PS3 showcase that it has twice the power of the 360? If this is the case and the new systems from Sony and Microsoft are only marginally better than WiiU.(I say marginal, because to Trounce would be 6-8 x the power of the WiiU! The PS3 did not trounce the 360 in power, so how do...
you won't see unreal 4 or Luminous on PS4 or 720 without down scaling! So what's your point in that statement? I like how you fanboys know willingly that both demos by Square and Epic were using hardware close to 3Tflops in power. But yet for some reason these new systems will achieve this so called next-gen benchmark with much less... keep trying though. PS4&720 will be next-gen systems just as the wiiu is as well. But if you guys think these systems will usher in some new state ...
Not to mention that what the article states in the headline wasn't exactly said on twitter by the EA representative. This has happened way to many times now here on n4g,, so this is no surprise actually!
Needs 1st party titles, its as simple as that... Nintendo underestimimated how long software development would take I do believe for the WiiU. But hopefully March starts to bring in a steady amount of games to the system.
Wow and this is all because Nintendo didn't choose Origin as its online infrastructure for the WiiU... When John R. Walked out on stage back in 2011 and announced an unprecedented partnership. The two companies were still very much negotiating th Origin deal.
Then somebody better call Sony and tell them that's all they have to do to get Vita selling at 3ds numbers then...
WiiU will get a price cut after the Vita gets one, now why don't you guys predict when that's going to happen... lol
People in glass houses I tell you!
what I don't understand is why people here think that the 720 & PS4 are going to sell in droves? just because a few fan boys here on n4g plan on buying them doesn't speak for the general public. Every system Nintendo creates will get the title of Dreamcast 2, because that's what you guys called the Wii as well! To think that a Nintendo system won't sell in the face of their competitors, when they have their big franchises on the scene is stupid and delusional at best...
They reduced it by 30% actually but whatever math you have to give to make your point seem valid I guess! Sales really started to increase with the reduced price and Zelda releasing for the 3ds and then Mario 3d land and MK7. If people believe that the 3ds is only selling because of the cheaper price. Then how come the 3dsXL is the model that's currently selling the most at $200?
I always thought that Raven Blade could have had major potential and with western RPG's at their peak right now. It might be the right time to revisit such a game. What I'm really interested in, is if e3 will be where Nintendo announces this other major title that they secured as an exclusive for the WiiU. (it was hinted maybe a month ago, that if Bayonetta 2 upset people. Then this would really set the internets on fire!)
People have to understand that yes new hardware gets the industry excited. But people have been waiting many years to see what Nintendo's franchises would look like with a grande HD treatment...
My guess is not only will they show it, but I think it might get a release date at e3 as well.(or shortly afterwards)
A StarFox/Sin&Punishment might be a more logical mash-up actually!

Why don't people just wait until Nintendo does their next Direct outlining 3rd party support. Which Iwata mentioned would be coming very soon! Then you guys can bash them or not based on what comes out of that session. Because all of this nonsense could be for nothing, if Nintendo ends up producing results that they have in fact secured the big 2013 games... So why is everyone so impatient for?
Just look at the improvement in games like Wonderful101 & Pikmin from when they were announced at e3 up till now and we can gauge that Xenoblade2 will only look much better by the time e3 2013 rolls around. So yes this is definitely one of the must have WiiU titles on the horizon and I hope there are many more announcements like this to come from Nintendo...
I actually hope that they make another Baiten Kaitos for the WiiU or I actually hope that they make another Baiten Kaitos for the WiiU or 3ds.
With the rumored specs of the 720&PS4 only putting them at 2-3x the power of the WiiU respectively. You guys really need to be honest with yourselves here and admit that this next-gen isn't as big of a leap as many were hoping. I remember people claiming that the PS4 would be 6-8x more poweful than the WiiU... But 6 & 8 are a long ways away from 3. As I've stated before on multiple occasions. The PS3 on paper is theoretically almost 2x the 360, but name one game that gives th...
