3DS managed to do quite a lot more than that much in two years. I don't think it will have trouble selling that much.
At this point I'm unsure if you're even complaining about something.
Although I can tell you that the sales make for a defensive argument, but they're not what make me happy as a fan. GAMES make me happy as a fan.
@DarkHeroZX
The point is not to write off the specs so soon. There's just as much potential for the Wii U to have really good hardware as well as lackluster hardware.
Bonerrr over there is claiming shit like an i3 core and less than a gig of RAM which is absolutely not true, hence my rebuttal.
Wouldn't that be an interesting feat?
@Hisiru
Still though, that would be a nice record for Nintendo. They didn't have a smash success like the Wii U for a good two console generations before it.
Because Black Ops 2 is confirmed for the Wii U. Is it really that difficult to figure out?
Summed up perfectly.
It's a fair prediction and I don't blame you for having it (shocker, right?).
However, I disagree on the wording of it. You make it sound as if Nintendo is half-assing the tech to make it more affordable; I don't believe this is the case. I think they're going with what's affordable but modern, akin to the Xbox 360 when it first launched. Part of the reason we haven't seen many games like ZombiU that showcase more "next-genny" graphics is bec...
How ignorant do you have to be to actually get 3+ people to agree with your ignorance?
The Wii U uses modern architecture according to developers like Gearbox and Epic Games. It uses an AMD Radeon HD GPU, a Power7-based multicore IBM CPU and is rumored to be using at least 1.5 GB of RAM.
Your opinion of the games is one thing, your misinformation is just ludicrous.
Since it came out five years after the Wii.
One can certainly hope. I get the feeling people will appreciate the console more if they actually give it a swing.
"WiiU is wifi only so that means more laggy matches."
And where did you get confirmation of this?
Didn't Kinect sell 8 million units in around that span of time?
Yeah, spending $300+ on a Vita and anywhere near as much on a Playstation 4 seperately will totally outdo the Wii U. /s
Yikes. That's shit. I would have preferred ports instead of projects being moved off of the platform altogether. I think Nintendo fans and Sony fans deserve new experiences, not just one or the other.
I'm going to speculate and say that this may have to do with development costs; if the Wii U is that cheap develop games on (while the Vita's infrastructure remains like the PS3's) that may be why this is happening, assuming it's all true.
This is the internet, not school. Big difference.
"the system is coming out this year, they're not switching anything out."
Compare the ZombiU footage at E3 to the footage that came out more recently. Seems to me there's plenty of development time to change and improve upon certain features.
Reggie has said that Retro wasn't nearly ready to show anything in terms of their new project.
No, I haven't played Diablo II or any of the other Diablo games. All your comment does is further my point either way; games like Borderlands existed before Borderlands did; that's my argument.
EDIT: I assume the bulk of my disagrees are for the sarcastic remark about Sony? What does "/s" mean? Reading comprehension folks.
So you expect Nintendo to snap their fingers and just have a Zelda ready and waiting for E3? In case you're new to the party, Nintendo doesn't run things that way historically. There is almost four or five years between each Zelda game and not often (if ever) are any of them launch titles as oppose to games to send a console generation off on. Twilight Princess for the Gamecube and Skyward Sword for the Wii for example. The same thing applies to 3D Mario games.
Anyway...
*Sigh*
It's hardly hesitance when it's only been their business model for over a decade. Nintendo has withheld this kind of information for quite a few of their recent platforms up to the Gamecube (as far as I know). It's not like they plan to tell us the day before it comes out; we'll know by Autumn. So why even complain at that point?
