SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums

Good luck and I hope everything turns out okay mate, if you come back on the release of Pokemon then we'll have to have a battle. Take care

Thank you my friend, see you in October

First of all I want to thank all of the awesome friends I've made on here you've all been really great and I will stay in touch, big shout out to all of you (there are too may to list so if you want to see all the awesome people I'm giving credit too check my friends list). Second of all my life is getting really hectic at the moment, I've got loads of people to help out and my Dad has just come back out of Hospital so I've got to go and stay with him for a while plus once that is over and sorted it's back to job hunting for me (bieng unemployed sucks) all of this not to mention the fact that I have tonnes of movies, tv shows, books and games to catch up on and these forums plus Facebook and Twitter are taking up waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much time. I've decide to leave for the forseeable future (I know heartbreaking right?) *cries* I'm leaving Facebook and Twitter too, realworld problems are just getting too huge at the moment soooooooooo, my accounts will stay active and for the next two days I will be replying to any notifications and messages but I will not be activly posting on the forums, after that I may be gone for quite some time, so if you have anything to say, say it now! I do hope to return for a few weeks at the launch of Pokemon X and Y and as I said I will still keep in touch with all the awesome people in my friends list but beyond that I do not know when I will be back. So good luck forums and thank's for the awesome time, I hope everybody looks after themselves and continues to have a good time on here, see you all on the 3DS or Wii U!

You skipped the Wii? How did you survive knowing you were missing out on exclusives like Smash Bros and Zelda?

 

Please tell me you've gone back and bought a bunch of them for your Wii U...

Yeah, I'm going back and getting all of the awesome games I missed it was just the hardware I didn't like

No I an't living under a rock. (It's too hot at the moment). Games will always go up in price, it just how things go.

That was just one of my points dude, there is a reason EA have won worst company in America 2 years in a row, seriously worst gaming company ever.

Why does everyone reference Game Freak, they do the main handhelds. We should try to convince Genius Sonority to make a proto for Nintendo to approve. A HD Colosseum-like game? That'd be pretty cool. Though the desert / Shadow Pokemon story is getting a little old. It's amazing, but old.

 

I hope we do get a more RPG style Pokemon game for the Wii U, because I enjoyed those games than any red/blue, stadium, rumble. Ok I never played rumble but you get the point. <character> ... ok maybe we should stay with Shadow pokemon.

Well, well, well I'm not about to disagree with the Doctor on this, I agree

And Yea stop pestering GameFreak if anyone is going to be working on something similar to what everyone on here is asking for it's GeniusSonority.

Awesome deal, still like my pysical copies though If they want me to switch to digital tie my games to my account instead of console, then we'll talk.

 

Microsoft

 

Good-

• I see the Xbox 360 being the cheap console of choice for casuals, and consumers who don't have the money to invest into next gen consoles.
• Xbox 360 will have a slight incline in sales for the next few years.
• The One, will see a redesign, making it look much sleeker and cheaper.
• The Kinect 2.0 will unveil tremendous innovation if developers see good sales on Xbox One, resulting in a strong desire to pay extra for the console.   
• Microsoft ensures even with poor sales that they still get the exclusive DLC and deals seen last gen.

 

Bad-

• The Xbox One is seen as a casual box, mainly used for a high quality multimedia box.
• This will help drive the sales but Microsoft will leave the gaming console market, as it see it as dying.
• The Xbox One will be seen as a failure in the gaming communities eyes and the Xbox One will start to lose support due to bad sales.
• The Xbox One will have a massive price drop in the coming years due to terrible sales
• Microsoft will either discontinue it, like Sega did with the Saturn, or they will just let it flop and never return to the console market.
• None of the good will matter if the Xbox One doesn't pick up the pace.

 

Sony

 

Good-

• The Playstation 4 is the developer console of choice for third parties.
• The architecture will make it easy for PS4 to become a home console and gaming PC hybrid, as it will get a lot of PC ports.
• This may possibly hurt PC sales more resulting in higher market share for Sony as they capture the Xbox one and casual PC gaming audience.
• the PS4 will be a very solid and all around good investment for almost everyone around the world, but if not marketed correctly could hurt Sony because of having so many products on the market.(PSP, PS3, Vita)

 

Bad-

• The Vita bombs costing Sony quite a bit of money wasted.
• On top of them taking a loss on the PS4, this hurts them harder then most would think.
• I see Sony gaining profit early on, but struggling to keep success after Vita bombs.
• The PS4 will see little to no innovation and will be seen as the slightly better and more expensive version of the PS3.
• Due to Sony having the most third party support , a lot of shovelware will arrive on the console.

 

Nintendo

Good-

• Once Sony starts to gain momentum , Nintendo will be a step ahead with a much larger library of quality games, a cheaper price point, a more appealing and simplistic online service for free, and  a much diverse collection of developers and genres.
• Nintendo will be the Indie developer kings of this generation, because of the very easy process of porting games over from the PC versions on to the E-shop.
• Third Party support will pick up and be close to what the PS4 receives as the architecture of both consoles resembles PC gaming rigs.
• Unique, and fresh new IPs will arrive along with revamps on very old , legendary Nintendo franchises.
• Sales will ramp up quickly in 2014 with all the massive first party games being released at a steady pace for Wii U all throughout the rest of 2013, 2014, and in 2015 nintendo will see a rapid increase in Wii U profit and software sales.
• By 2016 Nintendo will be head to head with Sony battling it out as it was last gen with Xbox 360 and PS3.
• They are no longer behind, they are at the forefront of gaming as they were in the 80's.
• The publicity they get will be astonishing, because of the business efforts they make to keep the gaming industry creative.
• The 3DS will be the best selling console of all time by 2016, or 2017 if the software pacing is correct.

Bad-

 

• Wii U will see sloppy support until the end of 2014 by third parties.
• critics will be hard until the Wii U gets good third party support.
• The tech will start to see age by 2017, but games will still run great on the console.

 

Damn you for stealing the words out my mouth, that is everything I was going to say lol

No. Just drop the price and get rid of the Basic bundle.

Yep, oh and bring out a White Premium model to replace the Basic.

The grains of salt are strong with this one.....

This video is just discusting, you shouldn't force views like this on other people, Johovas Whitnesses are the most annoying when they knock on your door they just refuse to leave, one day my Grandad went upstairs opened the window and threw a bucket of water on them, I laughed my a$$ off when that happened!

Gameplay will always be more important than graphics, though personally I think we are at a point where home console graphics could stay the same and it wouldn't bother me, handhelds could use more improvments though.

Well this is awsome news, I already expected this though to be honest, I mean Pikmin has alot of fans and it's been more or less dead for a decade so. I think they should do a Pikmin 3 Wii U Premium Console bundle for the people who didn't get a Wii U because they were waiting for this game.

Dovahkiin from Skyrim.

I'm looking forward to getting a PS4, it's gonna be awesome

I know, they need to make this storyline really good. After B/W/B2/W2 I hope they can keep it up with making interesting stories.

Indeed, indeed
