Not a big surprise, Mario Kart 8 is probably the biggest Wii U game of the year.
Bullshit. Shovelware hurts the gaming industry. Shovelware games are not purchased by the average gamer, because they know it's a shitty game. Shovelware games are purchased by new gamers who then get a bad first impression and never get into gaming because of it.
I think gamers are willing to pay a higher price for a brand new technology. Of course, as long as the VR works great and there are games for it.
Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus have sold over 40 million units combined. Clearly some people are seeing value in these kinds of "games".
Yep, free games would likely drive a lot more VC sales.
True, some games there seem a bit overpriced.
Nintendo does need better third party support for the Wii U. Desperately.
According to the first reports, the lag and rubber banding is still there :(
Actually, there's only one real alternative. And it's made by Sony. But hopefully the VR trend will spur more competition.
I always kinda liked the DualShock 3 more. DS4 ventured away from the classic controller style that we've known for 20 years...
Great list and breakdown.
Yep, most gamers have lost faith in the Oculus now...
What in the... This came out of nowhere. I guess Facebook can either buy up companies or pay taxes on their massive income...
I'd love to play The Evil Within on VR.
If Oculus is to release a PS4 version, don't they have to be certified by Sony as a third party accessory maker? Sony would probably allow a competing product, though.
Square Enix' official date is still "TBA 2014"
The article was written before DriveClub's announcement. But it'll probably still come out in 2014.
As a PS4 owner, I'd gladly buy an Xbox 360 if they made Crackdown 3.
Xbox is about the only growth segment Microsoft has at the moment. The division is finally making money, all this "spin off Xbox division" talk comes from people who have no idea what they're talking about.
Rogue Squadron for sure. Although it likely won't happen, as EA now owns all Star Wars rights.
