Its interesting that he barely mentions the 3DS in his article.
Wii U releases - it does 1080p, thats enough.
MS/S PR - but we have even MORE GRAPHICS!!
It didn't work last gen, it won't work next gen. I just don't understand why having a more expensive console, with much less chance of a price drop, will ultimately win the next gen of home consoles. But thats my opinion!
I don't mention the controller because that's irrelevant, what is relevant is the online infrastructure. We'll...
What a horrible "article". N4G publishes anything i guess.
Well that doesn't really make much sense when JD3 and Zumba Fitness sell more copies in one region than any Kinect game WW.
@Titanz, ridiculous
"My own view is that the Wii U's product message is more complex and, as a result, will not engage with as wide an audience as the Wii."
Yeah, because apparently using an Ipad, instead of an Iphone, is too complicated for the intellectually challenged Apple audience!
The only thing that's complicated about the marketing approach for the Wii U is how much market share competitors will legitimately lose to a product who's sole intention is...
ITT: People still not understanding that Yahtzee is intentionally antagonizing
Called out both actually, and the Vita can't drop much more than where its at this week (assumed that would be obvious).
Irrelevant
Its the end of the holiday in japan. As long as the numbers don't drop too much more, especially for Vita, both will do ok.
3DS drop is quite alot btw, but its approximately in line with Vita's drop.
Crazy score for RER
That headline is enough for me to want to put my fist through my computer monitor.
Id love to see it release the week of E3.
That would likely be a great marketing decision.
Miyamoto prefers dogs, you should really tell your cat this.
Cry in to your Weetbix gentlemen, its gonna be HD Wave Race!!!
Online Racing, Camera Views on the controller allowing you to look around the world while racing, no icons on the tv screen, its going to be friggin awesome yo!!!
Imagine the ability to control waves, place buoys, on the track in real time. Upload your courses for multi player.
WAVE RACE
Power isn't everything, profitability is.
We'll see who's laughing in 5 years time, when another 20 studios go bankrupt, and underpowered systems like the 3DS provide a fair return for modestly budgeted devs.
Im not saying the Wii U is certainly going to be underpowered, but please understand, it doesn't actually matter to MOST developers anyway (im talking small devs, if any still exist).
Its bad right after Christmas. Its bad when 5 year old home consoles are beating a 5 week old brand new Handheld. Its bad when its the successor to a massive debut Sony handheld (PSP).
Its bad when theres no software in the Top 20. Its bad when the competitor is selling 6 times as many consoles.
I think the people missing the point are the ones agreeing with belal's statement.
It goes DEEPER
seriously
"Vita has the benefit of hype by being a new system" and that helped a lot over Christmas in Japan didn't it?
Im sorry, but anyone who doesn't think people are second guessing their pre-orders on their Vita's, after the lackluster opening in Japan, and potential drop in third-party support, is a lunatic.
Diablo 3 for the first time on a home console.
With controls that actually work!!
360 beat PS3 because it was cheaper.
