Sort of. I learned some time ago they are actually very rough estimates and are often adjusted to be more accurate after the NPD puts out better numbers.
Raw hardware power does not define a generation. The time in which it was released does. That's the end of it.
Nice double standard considering you criticize Nintendo no matter what the context. There is literally almost no occasion where you are not bashing Nintendo for something. So really the question should be when are ignorant haters like you going to stop blaming Nintendo for everything? lolwut ;)
Let me play as Zelda. Or perhaps a co-op mode with dungeon puzzles that require two people, kind of like the Portal 2 Cooperative Initiative. They can make Zelda an AI if you only have one player at the time.
That's because this community loves crapping on anything they don't particularly care for. It's no wonder this community's reputation is comparable to that of Gamefaqs. This comment system takes bubbles away from honest commenters and rewards trolls. There are trolls in this thread notorious for trolling Nintendo articles and yet somehow they have far more agrees than disagrees. Yet here you are, quite possibly the only neutral comment in the whole thread and you have disagree...
"Also, why havent they brought out a Metroid FPS? 6 years Nintendo... 6 years since Prime 3"
Because Retro wanted to work on other projects while people like you were whining that the Prime series was being milked. Go figure.
Correction: Overly hopeful fanboys thought those would be system sellers. Everyone else knew it was at least quality content for the system. The new Zelda isn't out. Nor Mario Kart. Nor the new Smash Bros. None of that is out, and until any of it is, I am going to reserve my judgement unlike the vast majority of this community that quite clearly wants this company and their products to fail.
Wow either you guys have a lot of alt accounts or there is a lot of stupid people in this thread.
Logic: Nintendo has no third party support, so gamers should support bad, unfinished ports!!
You people make me sick.
And if they make more money than they lose? Because that was reality when the N64 and Gamecube underperformed.
I guess choosing to not to layoff Nintendo's developers, who are some of the most talented minds in game design, was also a bad move too?
No, what's absurd is the utter disrespect and mud you and all of the other narrow minded users in this community sling at the man who helped put Nintendo back on the map with the Wii.
Please leave.
"The Nintendo defending in the comments here is off the chart....why is it people don't want to admit that Nintendo is slowly going down a slippery slope."
I love this double standard that people who like Nintendo are not allowed to point it out when a ton of people crap on Nintendo but it's A-OK to pull that stupid "Look at all the Nintendo defense" card.
Edit: Frankly I don't think Nintendo is on a downward climb. I just beli...
The man who helped create the Wii and DS shortly after the failure that was the GCN is considered dead weight? The same CEO who took a 50% cut in his salary instead of laying off developers is DEAD WEIGHT?!
Jesus Christ, what the hell is a GOOD CEO to you?
These comments should praising the crap out of Nintendo. The only other developer I know who has done anything like this is Valve with PSN support in Portal 2.
"sony doesnt force the vita on anyone."
"nintendo forced this gimmicky turd on the gaming populace"
So in other words, it only sucks if its integral to the experience? And by the way, the vast majority of Wii U games can played with the Pro controller. The only delusional thing I see here is you getting your panties in a bunch and insulting others because you hate people having access to options other than what Sony provides.
Maybe if you and everyone else who has made that complaint actually supported those games, Nintendo would be inclined to make more of them. No company would knowingly avoid any of its franchises if they are consciously aware there is money to be made off of them.
@arbitor
Smartglass and Vita cross compatibility offer dual screen game functionality minus certain features the Wii U has. Guess you better start your boycott.
So in other words, you're A-okay with immature fanboyism that leads to petty squabbles and people attacking each other over who said what just because.
I don't mind these developer statements but this dev makes sense; gamers on the internet take this information way too seriously and it gets way out of hand and they use it to act like elitists who are superior to others. I already know that the PS4 is more powerful than Xbox One. It doesn't mean I'm going to b...
Did you or the fourteen other nimrods that disagreed with my comment even read it? I didn't say anything even suggesting Xbox One would be powerful, let alone more so than PS4. I said it's stupid how people keep grasping for straws and looking at every developer statement with a magnifying glass to give 'points' to their favorite brand.
If you somehow got Xbox Defense Force from my comment then you have no reading comprehension skills whatsoever.
fattyuk's comment is the simplest form of trolling. Nintendo has every chance of doing F2P well. They've already proven they can do DLC right. New Super Mario Bros. 2 and U already proved that.
