In Topic: Call of Duty: AW projected to sell 3 million copies less than Ghosts

i am surprised this decline has taken this long. Black Ops 2 would have been my prediction when that was released.

I caught it earlier, thought it was a very solid review.


In Topic: How Can Nintendo Fix Third Party Support?

26 September 2014 - 08:50 AM

Only issue there is that by then third parties would be looking forward to the next system. The Wii U has been out for almost two years now. Let's assume we're seeing a five year lifespan before things wind down for a new console the year after. Games can easily take a year to make. If people buy the system, say... one year from now, we're looking at a low ONE year of full exposure on a system that is soon to be replaced.

 

Anyone developing for the system right now is who you'll be seeing developing for the system in its final days. Nobody is going to "jump in" at this point. That's why Nintendo's floundering about in the Wii U's early days was such a poor move. And really, the mistakes were made before even then with the Wii's last year. You know, the year basically nobody developed on the system. If Nintendo had given developers even an early Wii U devkit at this time, things would be massively different right now. But instead there was an awkward lull where nothing really happened... or was happening. It was just an empty time for Nintendo's home console front.

 

In essence with the Wii U having a shorter life span than the competition could lead them to Nintendo having a significant jump ahead of the competition IF they acted on the issues you mentioned. The development time is a key factor that makes the outlook somewhat bleak, it's a shame backs have been turned away from the Wii u at this stage in the game.

 

There was a period of time up until the launch of the Xbox One & PS4 where it felt the Wii U had stopped in it's tracks. As a gamer I am happy that Nintendo are supporting the Wii U with the momentum we are now witnessing.

So you're only getting one version, and you decide to get this one? Why? 99% chance it will be inferior. Though your purchase will increase sale numbers by like 50%, it won't help, because most people are smart enough to stay away from this crap, so the sales are going to be bad, and Ubisoft will complain. In other words, there's no point in supporting it. Ubisoft is already done with us, all you're doing now is giving them money they don't deserve.

I'm all fo supporting Wii u as much as possible, and I personally wouldn't buy this game at all, but since you're planning to, it just makes no sense to get the Wii U version.

In fact you're more likely to do good for Wii U if you don't buy this game. If it could sell pretty much zero copies worldwide, we have a better chance of making it clear we won't buy crap than if it even half decently. Don't get me wrong, it's not very likely, we all know no matter what, it's always "our fault" but maybe maybe some news outlets will feel more inclined to report the real reason or something since more of a statement is made that way.

 

That would be awesome if gamers did boycott the Wii U version.

As we delve deeper into this new generation I can see Xbox and PS4 gamers buying Wii Us as a secondary console due to the exclusives. It's already the most cost effective option and down the live even more so.

 

If that is the case maybe third party developers will contemplate some possibilities.
