I don't have to say anything since everybody is giving you a piece of lesson, if your console isn't considered next-gen, don't try to spin things and say "PS4 and X1 aren't next-gen either", seeming like a clown, and seriously, Wii U`s is consisted heavily on a near 8-9 year old tech, don't like Wii U being considered last gen but not next gen? Deal with it.
I like the fact you admit you made a mistake, I totally respect that, and I apologize for calling you ignorant, I see you're a bit too far from being a Nintendo fanboy.
Nobody's saying Nintendo is a bad company, but they're not always good. I understand where you're coming from, first party games can save Nintendo, I agree, but that's in the handheld market, console wise is a totally different story, because Mario and Zelda didn't help N64 nor GC to be...
Let me give you a piece of advice Gemmol, do your damn research before bringing misinformation. Also, why are you twisting things around and now using attach-rate. I only focused on the GC Mario Kart vs GT sales and it was a very known fact GT3 sold 14 million and MK 6 million, something you totally failed at. And seriously, you pointing Nintendo games selling over 10 million, but you are actually giving the point that Nintendo gamers only buy Nintendo games, which is true for the most part, ...
FYI, I did, but does not mean I should agree with everything you say.
And let's not forget about Yakuza Ishin. The Japanese launch might turn better than in US and UK, who knows..
How is it that Wii & 3DS dominating when PS4 isn't even out in the region? You make no sense, oh yeah, you're WiiUMasterRace, a deluded fanboy.
Exactly, and we're not in the Wii era anymore where Mario Kart was mostly bought by casuals.
Wii U outselling XBox One on holidays says nothing at all when Wii U is on unlimited supply while both X1 and PS4 just released almost 2 months ago, and who gives a rat about the 3DS, you giving your comparison about a 1 and a 3 year old cheap devices outselling 2 old month expensive machines? You make me laugh. Multiplats are not system sellers? Isn't GTA and COD sold lots of...
Do not listen to Gemmol. He is spitting lies about the Gamecube Mario Kart selling over 14 million, when actually it sold 6+ million, and it was in fact Gran Turismo 3 on PS2 that actually sold 14.89 million, even Halo 2 on OG XBox outsold Mario Kart with 8+ million, both games reached 6+ million in the US alone, almost Mario Kart: Double Dash`s total sales. Do not listen to that ignorant fool.
"Gamecube had 22 million users bu sold over 14 million mario kart." Very interesting you say that when Mario Kart: Double Dash on Gamecube sold 6+ million copies, talking about lies.
"There is not one playstation or xbox game that is first party that ever sold 14 million." Probably you're damage controlling and twisting things around when in fact it was Gran Turismo 3 for PS2 that sold over 14 million, 14.89 to be exact, and Halo 2 in which made the fr...
@Starfox079- Dude, at this point in time, the competition and most 3rd party publishers do not care if Mario Kart will sell more because their games won't be on Wii U and they know they have PS, XBox, PC and mobile to make money from, you really think it's going to be like back in the day where everyone had to be under Nintendo's knees? With the many choices publishers and developers have these days to sell their games on, their dependance on Nintendo no longer exist, that's n...
@WiiUMasterRace- Well, With a brand new Yakuza game as a launch title, I highly doubt it since the series are very popular in Japan, and one of the IPs that helped the PS3 get to 10m units, if PS4 outsells Wii U in Japan, and Wii U is forgotten, then what would be your excuse then?..
The problem is those 3 Nintendo games you mentioned didn't help N64/GC to outsell PS1/2, and they were not the main reason behind Wii`s success. If PS4 get this momentum, it'll definitely outsell Wii U before the holidays, not too sure about X1, but I think it'll outsell Wii U as well.
There's Infamous:Second Son, MLB:The Show 14, and multiplats that tends to sell more on PS/XB than on Nintendo. Nintendo games tends to be more successful than the consoles, so ...
@ jayswolo- Same thing can be said about Activision, who has being doing it for far longer than Sega, plus Sega isn't very much into milking their games to death like Activision does, some might bring up the Yakuza series, but they don't follow the yearly obsession like Activision does, plus Sega has more IPs at their disposal, what does Activision have other than an over-milked generic FPS? Nothing.
Actually Sega did Captain America, Hulk, Ironman, and I guess Thor, but Activision seems to aim at the ones that could make easy money for them like the X-Men and Spider-Man, Activision have those IPs under lock, and likely the Marvel namesake, their latest efforts with both IPs have being nothing but mediocre.
@hazardman- Judging by the success that is the Yakuza games, which is the closest we can ever get to Shenmue, this could make sense, at least in the US as a PS4/X1 release. Sega`s deal with Nintendo didn't start very great, and remains to be seen how Bayonetta 2 would do, and their sole money maker on Nintendo machines is Mario & Sonic Olympics for the simple fact Mario is in there. If Nintendo in fact gets Shenmue, then good for them, but the decision relies mostly on Sega and Suzuki...
I think Sony didn't learn their lesson regarding the memory stick prices which are pretty ridiculous. They knew that was one of their weakness with the PSP, and it should be standard on every system. I think that's what's keeping both Vita and Vita TV from having good sales. And also letting Nintendo having an exclusive deal with Capcom regarding the PSP`s and possible Vita`s biggest Japanese system seller, Monster Hunter, staying Nintendo exclusive. Sony certeanly isn't doing...
Highly doubt it's Crysis, Timesplitter could be, but Crysis, no way, it could be on Wii U, but only as a multiplat release, and EA publishes it, and they aren't this stupid to let that game stay exclusive when it became a success on PS, XBox and PC, and that is the main market, and you can't say Wii U Gpgpu is more capable than full next gen consoles like PS4 and XBox One, speak to someone who really knows these things rather than spitting misinformation. And you can't say Wii...
@grayfoxx881- That's his opinion, and isn't too far from being true. And you calling him kid when you're the bigger example of a kid, don't like what he said? deal with it.
@lilbroRx- Deluded fool, journalists are the ones putting the emphasis on the situation, and the dude worked with Sony for nearly 30 years, and brought evidence that seems to be more valuable. Once again, this defeats Nintendo and fanboys like you claiming Nintendo always innovates and brings everything first, I read and do research, not twisting things around and bring excuses to defend your company of choice, just like you're doing now, if Nintendo is as innocent as they get, they would...
Look WiiUMustaRhymes, nobody is talking about your precious love affair with your Wii U, btw, it is evident you're hurt in the butt, not only by this, but also by even trying to PM me, if you wanna flat out bring up the Wii U into a conversation, there's a Wii U channel, get that through your thick donkey kong head.
