This article was begging for a flame war, and people are already taking the bait.

You complain about Smash Bros not being a new IP. Smash bros has had 4 installments in 15 years, while uncharted will have 4 in half that time. Not saying the Wii U is better, but being a hypocrite is only killing your argument.
Naming games that don't even have a release window and assuming they aren't delayed like many other games also doesn't help. ...
@Logic
Of course it isnt factually better, there will always be those that prefer Nintendo and MS. I would argue the Wii U isnt even a valid comparison, it has much different selling points than either console. But here we have a more powerful system, that was also 100 bucks cheaper than the Xbone the first 6 months. Competition consists of a system publications have (unjustly) been calling dead on arrival (Wii U) and the Xbone which has been a PR nightmare from the beginnin...
I think it is more because the general consensus is that the ps4 is a better product. Sony didnt have the industry by the balls like Apple does, they had a healthy percentage but right now the ps4 is number one for more than just marketing.
And that encompasses anyone who was disappointed by some of the games on this list? I bough Halo 4. I was disappointed, guess im an entitled brat.
My my, difficult with opinions, huh.
Disappointing, not bad
Selling about on par with other installments actually. Its never been a big series.
Conker has more selling potential on the Xbox than banjo, i think.
I dont think anyone complained about Anarchy Reigns because it sucked.
And most of the people who bought Madworld had a 360/ps3 by 2013.
I dont appreciate any port begging, but im still doubtful that bayonetta 2 will sell well.
Nintendo had the galaxy games, what did Sony have besides ratchet and clank?
There were some good R&C games this gen but hardly a "healthy lineup".
I have like 5 different ways to watch netflix, who needs another one?
@Bitby
No. QOL has not been revealed, but it is a fitness accessory kind of thing from what i understand. Except apparently more than that. Nintendo cant be looking for an expert in keeping up with an industry, if their job is pertaining to an "emerging market" which has no industry. QOL is slated for early next year (unless it was delayed) which means its probably out of that stage altogether anyway.
This job listing is specifically talking about G...
@Bitby
LOL like Iwata would come out and say "were coming out with a console next year". Thats suicide, ask Sega. They can barely support two platforms, nonetheless three.
It says "emerging markets", aka not the huge gaming industry. Bloombergs fishing for clicks by vaguely referring to the QOL platform, slated for 2015.
Wow, are you sure there isn't a way to turn that off?
Thats why its always great to have a pro controller on standby. Especially for a game like this where you play it in bigger chunks.
I still think the gamepad is a cool device, i think it could work crazy well in horror games, but it is horribly under utilized.
@Abizzel
Thats what i was thinking too. I dont think they could make a powerful, handheld/console hybrid on a budget though. I think theyd have to go 400 at the cheapest. They would also be losing a lot of money on hardware revenue from one console rather than two which, unlike the competition, is actually a big deal for them. They would also have to give consumers a way to differentiate between games best played on the go, and those best played at home.
I d...
I dont care about power. They just need a steady stream of content coming to their platform. Thats why the concept of a "fusion" is interesting, even though i think its fake. While they fail to provide a steady stream of content to both platforms at once, they could do so if they had one handheld/home console.
What they need more than anything is a good transition. A few games to cap off the Wii U, and a bunch to start off its successor.
I honestly think th...
Lol im 17, really like my my wii u. My friends dont think much of it until they come over lol... two of my friends have gotten one since.
Im not like most kids my age though. I spend more time on my ps2 and DC than my ps4. Enjoying parasite eve for the first time right now.
Haha i almost forget MGR is a platinum game sometimes. The fact that its riding the metal gear name is really what sold it though, if it wasnt i doubt it wouldve fared much better than the likes of Vanquish.
I honestly doubt they'll self publish anything anytime soon. They started off with Sega and now they're just hopping around various publishers. Its clear they have no trouble finding publishers, even after TW101 was probably their biggest commercial failure yet.
Im usually a big fan of the guys at GI. Sad to see their stance on gamergate. It almost doesnt make sense, theyre a good deal older than most journalists on kotaku and stuff, and they dont seem like the type to believe there is an alarming degree of misogyny in this industry.
All Anita's death threats prove is that there's crazy people in the world. Talented women like Corrine Yu have no trouble entering this industry.
You totally blew his comment out of proportion. There's a little phrase about assumptions. But then again I always assumed Lukas was above bashing a system because flamebait wills him, and i suppose i was wrong in that assumption.
But i will vouch that Nintendo isnt about third parties. Bayonetta 2 (which comes with an improved version of the original at no extra cost) is yet another complete, critically acclaimed game with a smooth launch on Wii U that will go largely ig...
