#260723 breaking news! (no. not really)

Posted by Hank Hill on 12 December 2013 - 10:19 AM

Sorry, but if you're going top be constantly linking to IGN would you mind quoting a summary of the article? Otherwise it seems suspiciously like linkbait.

The summary of the article is "Wii U will only sell 25 million units in its lifetime" whenever that quote is going off of currently old data without taking anything that would happen in the future into consideration that'd boost system sales such as price cuts, the release of Mario Kart 8, or the release of Super Smash Bros 4.

http://m.ign.com/art...-as-well-as-wii

Yeah. This guy is about 9 months behind me. He gets paid?

I point out the obvious I get belittled here. He points out the obvious he gets paid $250 grand a year. 8)

See, you claim you point out the "obvious" while completely ignoring the obvious.

The data both you and this "analyst" are completely ignoring are a lot of factors that will come into play in the future. Factors in the form of price cuts, being cheaper than the competition, currently being the only next-gen system to actually have any form of backwards compatibility with its predecessor's games and controllers, and system-selling games such as Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros.

By this analyst's logic, the 3DS should only have sold 30 or 40 million units in its lifetime based on the first year. And guess what happened? The 3DS is currently on its way to getting close to 40 million systems sold in its second (third?) year. Gee, wonder what changed...oh, yeah. Nintendo released Mario Kart 7, Mario 3D Land, a ton of other games after the fact, and cut the system price.

By this analyst's' logic, the PS3 should've sold in the 25-30 million range based on its first year. But look at that magic! The system got a price cut and games worth buying, and it started selling.

Am I saying the Wii U will sell anywhere near Wii numbers? No. Will it only sell 25 million units? Heck no. The Wii U more appeals to the casual market more than the PS4 or Xbone ever would, as it has more value per dollar. $300 gets you the system with NSMBU and NSLU, and the system is also backwards compatible with the entire Wii library and controllers. Not to mention this bundle that was offered by Nintendo UK that nets you the system with NSMBU/NSLU/Mario 3D World/Mario Wiimote/Mario Hat for £299.99. For $400 you can get a PS4 with no games, that isn't backwards compatible with any PS3 games or controllers, or $500 for an Xbone that isn't backwards compatible with any Xbox 360 games or controllers.

#260730 this made me laugh (Bayonetta 2)

Um... No, it's not like that at all.

The original Bayonetta was exclusive to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. This is a slap in the face to the original Bayonetta fans. They have reason to be unhappy about this.

Now tell me who's the "fanboy" here? The Bayonetta fan that owned the original and loved it on the consoles it was originally released on (that is the PS3/Xbox 360) that is upset that it ended up exclusively on a random console that is completely unrelated to the ones before, or the Nintendo fan that just wants an exclusive to flaunt in the face of others, but still complains about third party games being on the Xbox One and or PS4 and not the Wii U?

You make no sense...

You basically just argued that exclusives and third party games hold the same sort of weight. The original Bayonetta was a MULTIPLATFORM game on both PS4 and 360. Nintendo stepped in and basically funded this project because it wasn't profitable enough to continue on it's own, so it's now Nintendo's (The IP isn't, but they have control of how the money behind the project). It's their project, they deserve the sales they get from it. The fanboy is the one who is pissed that they feel like they got screwed over because a game actually will see the light of day, but not on their console of choice. IP's can be on different consoles, it's all about where the money for the project comes from. In this case, it's Nintendo's money.

Every Nintendo fan has a right to be upset about third party games not coming to their system. They are third party games, not exclusives. Granted, nintendo fans should at least understand the business decisions about why they aren't getting third party, but it is a legitimate frustration. I suppose there is understandable frustration in a game moving to a different platform, but hey, I miss Rare, but I got over it.

People didn't make this big of deal when Final Fantasy went to PlayStation. I was there. Most of these people are not fans. Like the Wii when jerks see a game they like they get mad and want it ported to a "real" console. I knew someone who was angry Xenoblade was not on a "real" console like PS3. These people don't care about Bayonetta they just for some dumb reason like to make a fuss about it being on a Nintendo console. These are the same people who say they like Mario but want it on PS4.because Nintendo should go 3rd party.

Not to too my own horn and apologies as this may come across as self indulging. I am a person who is disabled and has a very low income but I pay my bills and rent like everyone else. I still buy my consoles and games. I been saving up for a couple months for Wii U and when done save up for a PS4. Even for a very low income person can get another console. It just takes a lot of time and a lot patience. People who don't buy brand X or Y console is not a money thing. It's them just being an idiot because they want to be an idiot.

Posted by Portal on 22 November 2013 - 05:39 AM

Okay you do that.

Don't be too dissapointed when the game looks meh because developers never hype their own games up.

This is hilarious. Have you not seen Shinen's games? I see little reason to doubt they can do this. The team at Shinen are gods. Enough said.

We will see... I am just keeping my expectations VERY low. Because I know Wii U backers are waiting on this game to say see look how next gen it is... And if it fails to deliver what will all those shin'en quotes mean... NOTHING just PR the naysayers will say. I am sure it will look good not doubting that but something the ps360 can't produce.... Let's wait and see. Budget man they can't have that high of a budget... Can they?

Its Shin'en. Thats what they do, and what they have always done.
