The Minimal Difference

07 May 2014 - 07:06 PM

As I was recently watching the Call of Duty Advanced Warfare trailer that was game play taken from an Xbox One, I realized how minimal of a difference in graphics there is from ghosts. If so many people can complain about how Wii U is underpowered and it cant handle anything but games with a simple style then tell them to look at Mario Kart 8(which was confirmed to play at 1080p native 60 frames per second) and ask yourself why ports on Wii U look different compared to their counterparts on Xbox One. The answer is, lazy developers. If developers gave the Wii U a chance and played with the market a little, giving some extra elements to the games they port, then the third party developers will have no problem selling on Wii U. The difference in hardware is not enough to create a difference in visual fidelity this time, Nintendo knows what they are doing with the hardware of the Wii U and their games prove it. Developers who take the time to learn the hardware are lucky because it is a good machine to create new ideas on with a niche market. The game pad also proves this point too, which is Nintendo's note to the new generation to prove that the difference in power of the hardware among all three major consoles is not enough to sway someone from buying a certain console.

 

The point in me rambling on about graphics and minimal differences among consoles and game devices in general has to do with what the majority of consumers talk about. The list of games coming to PS4 is so slim and trim compared to Nintendo's this year, yet people are still excited about PS4, not so much Xbox One though. 

 

If Nintendo were to just advertise towards the real gamers and not just family based ads on TV they will be saved from the stigma that their console is stale and lame. Which shouldn't exist in the first place considering how solid the Wii U is. As time goes on and the financial reports keep rolling in it's easier to see that the sales of Nintendo's hardware are slowly rising, as Microsoft's is plateauing and Sony is pretty much riding off of the new console hype which always dies about a year in.

 

Games sell consoles over their life, graphics sell consoles when there are no games. 


The Nintendo Uboat, universal appeal to developers everywhere!

As a lot of you may know, Nintendo has finally realized what they have to do in order to acquire as many third party development studios as possible to bring the world's best game franchises to Wii U and bring consumers on board for the best experience you can find in the new generation of console gaming. Some may say otherwise, but the hardware to bring the best games to the platform is present, going by reports of legitimate Nintendo licensed developers and NOT from others looking from the outside in, because of the scared approach considering the somewhat beginning to mid year sluggish sales. EA, one of, if not the biggest third party publisher on Earth has stated that they will bring support and optimize their engines when the time is right and the sales are booming. This is quite a smart move by EA, and many other developers are watching Nintendo right now and the Wii U especially. After this holiday we will see the true future of Wii U. Just give it after the beginning of next year and the system will have plenty of third party games. Watch them sell better than on the Xbox One too, maybe even the PS4. It's all up to Nintendo now. They should just make it quicker, easier, and cheaper to port games to Wii U.


Was that just the fall update?....

I hope it wasn't the fall update they keep pushing back, but can someone please confirm for me if it is or not. Thank you.
