I don't see how folks pay attention to 5 times less sales, but glance over the 20 times install base difference. Also, were the PS3 and XBOX 360 for only two days too or a full week. First week sales in Japan mean less than other parts of the world. Remember Mario 3D World?
@Mikefizzled I bet the real reason is Microsoft and Mojang had been in informal talks for awhile about a purchase that turned more serious. Microsoft and Sony don't mind working together against Nintendo.
Don't believe that can be true? Take note of these factors. Sony and Microsoft's latest consoles just "coincidentally" were X86 based and turned out to by near clones cept one had a stronger GPU and they had different type memory. EA's unpreced ent...
What is that slot next to the Miis???
Dragon Quest X is on the Wii U in Japan, the touchscreen of the gamepad is ideal for an RPG and the Wii U is selling better than the PS4 in Japan why wouldn't it be on the Wii U???
What I think will decide this race in the end is China. Nintendo's console there won't be the Wii U so that won't help Wii U sales (That is if, it's totally new and not a variant Wii U with a new name). However if, they only 1% bought their new console that's 13 million units. If, they sold that many there is no telling what Nintendo would do with that money to give Wii U boost. This race is far from over. Time will tell who wins after the dust settles.
It's still not a fair comparison due to most Wii U versions not being of the same quality and features of it's counterparts. Word spreads fast these days.
Ennnn. Nintendo shouldn't go third party when a good percentage of their money is made on hardware? The difference this time around hardware costs were up and sales were down which negated profits until recently.
What I do think should happen is the big 3 should get together and make one console. The install base, shared development and advertising costs would make it well worth it. Not only making it easier on developers and the public.
Please note in Japan Wii U game sales and sometimes hardware sales actually increase after the release period of a game.
That game looks crazy, but fun lol.
I don't care what that reviewer said it was a great game! I think he wishes he could have retroactively added more modern features to the game. I didn't care what the characters looked like and cared little if, there were duplicate characters. I think if, you get beat up a lot cause you don't like the controls you may not like it, but if, you can play I found it very enjoyable. It is a challenging game, but a good time.
I am a Nintendo fan and I am not bent out of shape about it. I doubted it was a big deal before reading more into and a day later I really don't think it is.
It may be an official Smash Bros release date and new bundle announcement.
The internet should scrap so called journalists like this.
What really impressed me about Nano Assault Neo was that it was only 81 MB in size for a game that looked like that! Nintendo really has some excellent texture compression.
For those that say Activision didn't say no dlc for Wii U maybe notf "", but they do things like this http://www.gamnesia.com/new... . and then say " no comment at this time. Third party support for Nintendo is not bad for the reasons many think.
Many think if, it comes to Nintendo it just won't sell case closed. The truth is it's more...
If, Mario Kart 8 is dead @Metallox #3 then most games wish they were dead then lol. It sold the most of any console game on the list.
Yeah it's nice to see Mario Kart near the top of the Nordic charts.
Sounds like a good deal.
I am not paying this article much mind especially since that page is no longer up.
Many folks were excited when news and video first broke about Sonic Boom. Not much concerning the game has changed, but opinions have. I'd wait til the game comes out before I give my final verdict.
Apparently you didn't read the article. Although some things they favored on XBOX
360 they said the Wii U had the definitive version.
