When it fails to garner the support it needs to stay relevant as well as concentrate on the support it has to satisfy those that purchased the console.
By this definition neither the dreamcast nor gamecube failed to me, even if they did financially.
TLOU wouldnt work as a film. The game itself is already so cinematic, and all the things that make TLOU stand out in the crowded zombie genre wouldnt hold as well if they turned into a movie :l
Half? No. Majority of console owners this gen had a wii and a 360/ps3. And considering most of them barely touched their wii after 2008 and associate nintendo with a kiddy image (one i dont think they deserve personally), more will stick with their respective consoles.
Half of the games i have on wii and gamecube and ds ARE 3rd party. This is how all nintendo owners should be. No more heroes 1 & 2, fatal frame 4, sonic colors, silent hill shattered memories, madworld, dead space extraction, rayman origins, resident evil 4, a couple more on wii.
REmake, 3 sonic games, killer 7, beyond good and evil, timesplitters, tons more on gamecube.
And theres already a lot on wii u i want. Nintendo has bad 3rd party support but they have som...
The loss on each console is probably whats keeping them from dropping the price. Reggie said near launch they take a small loss that is regained on one software sale
Surely nintendo is losing money on all these unofficial price cuts? Ive never even heard of a retailer cutting the price so significantly until the wii u :/
Very strange, as the wii u is reportedly easy to develop for.
I agree, 360 is a great system from a rotten company ;)
Nintendo did this on 3ds before sony, and steam before nintendo. Microsoft is following the new status quo, not copying your precious sony :)
So reversing these bad policies is NOT a good thing? They shouldve kept their terrible indie policies? Im not a big fan of MS but id rather embrace change for the better then complain about it.
If its the usual routine it'll come out digitally on ps4 and retail for ps3
I never realized how creepy the name "PS Eye" was until i read your comment o.o
Dreamcast had great 3rd party support given the circumstances. I mean the thing has 700+ games (almost double the n64 and more than the gamecube) and it was only relevant for like 2 years. Just because EA didnt support it doesnt mean it had bad support.
Built in mic mightve been cool. Cant think of any implementation for it to "track player movement" though. Also wouldve ramped up the price.
Pleased with the final product more.
Im sure the system will find its place by christmas next year. Me personally, ps4 and wii u all the way :P. I think the wii u will be my main console at least until the end of 2014 because at the moment it has more games coming im interested in.
No they arent doing well. But it is typical for last gen consoles to sell out the newcomers for some time, so the 360 and ps3 outselling it is not remarkable (though they are outselling it by a lot, that is). Also, ZombiU sold 500,000+ copies, it had a great attach ratio and for a launch game those sales are above average for sure.. Im not sure where the budget went, the game is ugly graphically, it has no online features and it takes 8 hours to beat, half a million copies really should have ...
I really like the wii u's look. The thing is tiny and smooth, and im just not a fan of the sharp angles all over the xbox one and ps4.
Lol @ the disagrees.
how odd, it sold decent enough for a launch title. it had a great attach rate. it sold around 500,000 copies i think?
not sure what kind of sales they expected, but i know that's the best they should have hoped to sell.
I think nintendo has the best retro selection there is (being in the industry 2 gens longer than sony and 3 more than MS) and they should definitely offer a cheaper ps plus-esque service that offers some of their classics for free and other such perks.
