Like i said, i wouldn't put money on either this early in the game, but you bring up some solid points. Another huge thing MS has over Nintendo is their marketing. Im surprised by that PS3 tidbit as well.
And actually Hyrule Warriors did come out and did much worse than anyone expected. In Japan at least. I think 70k first week with hardware boost to 19k. While the Wii U is the most dedicated to Japanese software, it seems that market's potential is already near maxi...
I could live with a delay, however i would be angry that Nintendo failed to deliver a big holiday title to boost sales.
Its hard for me to say which one will come second. The Xbox One has a lot less selling potential as a secondary console than the Wii U, but also less potential as a primary console than the PS4. If MS or Nintendo could stumble upon the next big game (Goldeneye, Halo) that would guarantee their position at second.
Also depends on how long they choose to support their consoles.
That Xbone bundle was definitely worthwhile, even if it couldnt get near the PS4 sales.
I have no doubt it'll look better in motion. I believe they said it runs at 60 frames.
And yeah No Man's Sky looks great too, these devs only recently started developing outside of Nintendo hardware so i'm eager to see how good they can make PS4 games look,
This is a downloadable title from a studio of like ten people for the Wii U. All that considered it looks pretty good.
No sense in not expressing our desire for the game. Nintendo's in a position to prove themselves to fans, and this is an opportunity.
Also this game has a much better chance than the last two. FF4 was too buggy and FF2 came way past the Wii's death in NA. Theres also a Hollywood movie in the works apparently.
Very talented folks at Shin'en. I hope they have just as much fun on ps4 as they do wii u.
What's up man? Usually you post some pretty decent comments.
You've been on the Wii U news way after Tropical Freeze was announced and were praising the system (when necessary of course) and now you're saying its been dead to you since June 2013?
I hope they make whatever they want, that way their passion will shine through that much more.
Though the Wii U's only truly overpopulated genre is definitely 2D platformers.
@Abizzel
To be fair you can kind of find a reason for almost every one of those games, and Vanquish was actually built on PS3 and ported to 360. Bayonetta was one of those games that began development when the PS3 was looking grim and was hard to develop for and Madworld was made as part of Sega's mature Wii games push. The only one that doesnt make sense is MGR which i believe runs better on 360 even though its obviously a popular PS franchise.
Sony shou...
Wii U has v-sync enabled on most (if not every) game so theres no screen tear. Personally i would prefer some screen tear to framerate issues just because im a lot less perceptive of screen tear but since TW101 had issues i never noticed im sure it wont be a big deal. The only time TW101 really hit me with noticeable frame lag was the end, which was totally worth it :P
I never really thought about it, but this year doesn't really have that many great releases outside of HD remakes.
I think it's either LBP 3 or Smash Bros for overall GOTY, though. Assuming HD remakes are out of the question.
I'm glad you're enjoying Destiny though. I wouldn't write off any criticism as illegitimate just because you like the game, because it could've been a lot better.
@Scatpants
I would agree with that actually, i just really like the atmosphere and gameplay of 8.
Play Bravely Default on 3DS yet? It's a lot like classic FF, i recommend it. The story is painfully typical but the gameplay and music are to die for.
@Kappa
I kind of flip between which one ive played more recently.
But for me 8 was the first really immersive game i played, so it will always hold a special place for me.
yeah if you ask me this is better than 7 or any FF since.
Err... that wasn't my point You started your first comment off naming all of their mistakes as if that's all they've ever done. One could just as well bring up Sony's numerous poor corporate decisions (like you brought up Zune... so much relevance) that got them in the financial hole. I could say "oh Sony will mess up like they did with x, y, and z" but that's ignoring the rest of the alphabet. MS hasn't had as much success as Sony of course, but in the big f...
Yeah. You focus on only their mistakes. Most people wouldnt accuse Nintendo of being dumb for the virtual boy or wii u or something. Also sony for the psp go, cell architecture, ps move, etc...
You've made it clear you don't like the Xbox brand for your various reasons but youre jumping the gun like crazy. MS studios isnt even making the acquisition, Microsoft as a whole is. The game is already on the PSN for three Sony platforms and they could pull a lot of revenue,...
@mkis
Too bad they just entered another contract to make another series for even longer then, huh?
I mean most will agree Halo peaked at its first two installments and sort of fell off from there in terms of the Bungie games. Destiny is coming out the door decent at best, and they still have a decade of content ahead of them.
Hopefully they'll take any criticism to heart and make the next Destiny a winner.
@Elite
While I agree that its current position is all that's important from a consumer perspective, in a strict sales comparison it's unfair to not bring up the head start it had, regardless of whether or not Nintendo made use of that year.
