This game footage looks like shit. All thanks to Sony Vegas.
Ok…let me get the predictable comments out of the way:
“YO THIS DUDE ONLY LIKES TO START FLAME WARS. HE NEVER STATES FACTS EVEN
THOUGH HE DOES STATE FACTS BUT FUCK HIM WHY DO PEOPLE WATCH THIS DICK”
see…I saved you from having to type out your dumb, predictable comments.
Ya, Nintendo has made some dumbass mistakes and I have been more then
willing to call them out in the past, but for “analysts” and haters to say
they should “quit or go third party” is ridiculous.
A mountain of cash only lasts so long, just ask Blackberry.
Ironically even though PS4 is selling the best, Sony is by far at the most
risk of going under.
I’m really hoping their next console does not have any mandatory horseshit
gimmicks like the previous two consoles. they got to make super awesome
hardware and controller and work with 3rd party devs and finally get back
on track. stupid bastards.
Mario Kart 8 is all set to move Wii U systems judging by recent reports,
and that UK bundle is pretty sweet. You also have the massively popular
Super Smash Bros, and Zelda still to come. The Wii U will be fine despite
what all the haters say in this community. Nintendo is also actually
expanding their company, so they definitely ain’t going anywhere.
I had to try and come up with a nicer way of saying this: The people who
say Nintendo needs to stop producing consoles are idiots. Part of this
belief stems from the fact that gamers these days are narcissistic these
days, and many probably don’t realize the repercussions of not having
Nintendo in the market. And i feel like competitive sports and competitive
markets has some sort of baby that resulted in what we know as the gaming
industry.
You have the competitive market side where companies “fight” over market
share. Then you have competitive sports where teams bash heads against
eachother, but at the end of the day give good sportsmanship to one
another. The fans? Bah, the fans usually just criticize eachother and get
into fights… Much like how gamers react to eachothers comments. The worse
thing is that instead of it being like a sports argument, it’s more like
blatant trolling most of the time. Yet, hilariously, it’s not always a case
of where the companies do it (although they do it sometimes). Usually they
remain on good terms, and have good sportsmanship to one another.
The three of them, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony remain a monopoly in the
video game market. And while most gamers and developers would ignore
Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony aren’t. Nintendo can change the playing field
of the video game market if they so much as wished. They’ve done it many
times already, with the most recent announcement being the Wii U and
previously the Wii Remote and the Wii. It became a phenomena unseen before,
and it opened up a new area in the gaming market. It took Microsoft and
Sony 2-3 years to bring something of similar calibre to the market to
combat the Wii Remote, but this time with the Wii U they were prepared.
If Nintendo left the market, you’d only have TWO choices instead of THREE,
and chances are there wouldn’t be much movement as there is no wildcard to
force companies to take risks. That wildcard is Nintendo. They have a low
probability of succeeding, but HIGH turnout when they do.
shit look at them wii U and ps4 sales in japan
I like your statements and how you put things in perspective, but it all
raises one question … What does this have to do with Sonic 3?
Interesting video regarding Nintendos sales on video game hardware. They
aint doing to bad, maybe with the Wii U but still aint to shabby.
Where are all the publications for Microsoft to go third party?
Nintendo Destroys Microsoft In Video Game Hardware Sales
I read that article and I really didn’t understand his point. Side by side
sales numbers against competing products Microsoft is out selling them.
Adding in products that MS aren’t competing against seems a reach. Using
that measure you may as well add in all Windows sales because, hey, people
play games on PC.
I’m also surprised Forbes would let anyone suggest that Nintendo aren’t in
commercial trouble because they have no debts when they are bleeding cash.
I want Nintendo to do well, but people seem to be suggesting their strategy
should be carry on as before – which would appear a little dumb.
Hmm… Nope. I still want to see Microsoft die.
I agree with most of Rich’s points, but I think Nintendo is doomed
regardless. You want facts, here you go. Nintendo refuses to change their
corporation vision to what works, they expect people to adapt around them.
This mentality goes all the way back to the NES era. During that time, NES
games were censored(bibles, crosses, holy/white, nudity, hell etc) and
Nintendo charged devs 35 bucks per cartridge for every NES, SNES, and N64
game. This is why many devs left Nintendo and worked on the PSX. So the Big
N lost a lot of awesome games to the PSX and they brought out Mini DVD’s
with the GC. Again, no DVD playback which used mini DVD so players would
need to swap out discs to play games that would fit on one regular sized
disc. The Wii came out and was a force to reckon with, but it mostly
catered to new gamers and casuals. The Wii U is more expensive than most
casuals want to pay. These casuals are playing tablet games on the go.
Meanwhile the Wii U has lost all of their hardcore market. They couldn’t
even handle a DLC release of Batman of all things.
So what’s going to happen? Well these investors will only deal with this
crap for so long. The management of Nintendo isn’t going anywhere(according
to Iwata) which means Nintendo will continue to fail. Meanwhile Sony was
able to recover from their horrible PS3 launch and now leads the market
again. Quite frankly, there is no need for a Nintendo console anymore. Let
them release games on the PS4 and generate large profits again. The bottom
line is the Wii U is a huge money sink. Nobody is saying Nintendo is
screwed like SEGA financially, but they lack the vision for today’s
consoles. The best move is to bow out gracefully. If they don’t replace
their management, they’ll end up like Sega soon enough. It will just take
longer. Think about it, let’s say the Wii U fails completely. So they
release another console and that console bombs too. Sure they might have
some more money to burn, but you think gamers will keep coming back to be
screwed? I know I won’t and my first paid system was a NES.
I’m thinking this is a bad artical
Yes the Wii + 3ds + wii U sales is better than Xbox 360 + Xbox One,
although Nintendo isn’t making their money from the Wii anymore, barely
anyone is buying it and even the people who are Nintendo are making
Minuscule amounts of money from it. Meaning it’s became irrelevant, the
money they’re making now is from the 3DS. so it would make more sense just
to stick to current gen consoles,
even without this artical, anyone who thinks Nintendo are dying or should
go third party are idiots who need to read up on more stuff before
screaming stupid stuff out :s
Wait.. what? People are still buying Wii? Nintendo will cancel the online
features soon…
3DS is outselling everything but the PS4. Nintendo has more money than Sony
so if any company would go third party than it would be Sony not Nintendo.
Should Nintendo be looking at 4K for it’s next system?
Forgot how much of a retard Tails is in the original Sonic games
Having two consoles is bad for the consumer because software houses will
develop their games for the slower console and cross the programming over
to the more powerful console. If xbox was to go then the programmers would
be let loose to compete with games on the more powerful ps4… so fuck off
and die xbox one.
The only qualm I have is that you’re comparing two fairly new consoles
(2011 and 2012) to a new one (2013), and an 9 year old console. (2005)
I want sega to come back into consoles
I still don’t get why people give a fuck about other people making money.
Do you guys go online and cheer on you favorite corporations on google
stocks? Fuck yeah Kraft be out General Mills this month woo!
You can’t compare 2 pieces of hardware between 4.
Im probably gonna get cursed out for saying this but I want to see xbox go
out of business not Microsoft but I want to see them stop making xbox one
because if you see booige youtube channel his latest video explains why
xbox one sucks and I agree because what happends 10years from now and you
want to play the old xbox one classic you cant because you need internet to
play and those online severs are gonna be cancel
how would that be a bad thing if microsoft goes under if im a sony fan? lol
