Why are they even thinking about it? Every other company cannot wait to localize 3DS games. Did Bravely Default seriously not meet their expectations after they highlighted it as a big seller?
I want to facepalm right now.
As far as I'm concerned this console has the most to look forward to.
Take a look at the sales that happened. Even after a mammoth price drop Wii U was still outselling it with Mario Kart 8 hype down (as somebody already pointed out).
Both Nintendo and Microsoft have different problems with getting their consoles to sell more. Right now it definitely looks like Nintendo is doing a better job with their problems. Which is why I believe they will have better sales.
I think Nintendo's strong names will have more people buy Wii U than the amount of people willing to forgive Microsoft and buy Xbox One.
Poor sales of Ryse and Crytek suddenly hate Microsoft. I wonder what they will say if Ryse 2 fails to pick up a publisher due to poor sales of the original. They won't be so mad at Microsoft then will they?
Anyone with a brain knows what to expect if Nintendo stop doing their own systems to make their games. Look at EA and Capcom for reference.
Koei VS Capcom
Whatever it sells it will be better than the 0 copies it would sell if Nintendo weren't publishing it.
He is talking about the back lash. It reminds me of Bayonetta 2 as well.
People know this wont stay exclusive though.
It reminds me of Bayonetta 2.
Of course it will be timed. Money hatting is all Microsoft can do.
Things get listed by retailers all the time but it means nothing.
No. Zant was. Did you not see the dog pile he did?
The 3DS had its price drop announced (the keyword being announced) 4 months later.The XBO has already had a greater price drop than the 3DS in a shorter space of time in this side of the planet but as usual only the US exists eh?
It was out just 3 months and had a re-release and they are dropping the price again? This is worse than 3DS.
Small edit: I checked your claim by the price and even in the US it had a larger price cut anyway. Even if you ignore the U...
Don't rule it out. We know their chances outside the west are zero and we have seen PS4 pretty much destroying XBO in Europe. In their minds they probably need to do this as a "now or never" situation.
The media should really be paying more attention to this. When Nintendo dropped the price of 3DS that hard and fast they were dogged like no tomorrow but I haven't seen anywhere close of a backlash like that with Microsoft.
Early adopters should at least get some kind of compensation now. This will just make people wait it out until spring when they drop the price again.
There is a big reason why Nintendo will never follow EA with this. It is known Nintendo told EA to stick it when they tried to push Origin.
Mario Kart 8 still had unlockables. They just weren't well hidden.
The belief by many now is characters should be accessed from the start so people can just pick their favorites.
It will happen one day (probably 1 year later) but the game has damaged any chance it had of being a commercial success.
By the time it does reach PS4 most will have moved on. I hope Square Enix know they made the wrong move trying to build this new direction for the series.
