hohi

Sony cant be this stupid!......can they?   -.- '

 

 

Look at the Vita's pricing scheme.

Remember the PS3's original pricing scheme.

 

Yes. They can be this stupid. And, honestly, I'm expecting a price point over $450, regardless of the rumors. That is, unless Sony is even more stupid than I thought, and they're planning on bleeding another few billion a year for the next couple years...on top of the billions they're losing with the Vita.

Totally expected, the Playstation 3 was $1,000 upon release.

Welp, I'll be happy with my Wii U & PS4, Deal with it.

I can see everything else, however saying NSMBU is unpolished? It's easily the most polished NSMB game they've made. Talk about unpolished, try playing NSMB2?

The 3DS is also vulnerable, how can the 3DS with a tiny screen and games at $40 compete against the likes of the Nexus 7 which has a far bigger screen, more graphically advanced games which are a tenth of the price and are downloadable.

Nintendo can still make the Wii U a success but it needs a constant stream of AAA titles. But yes, I feel that $300 traditional consoles have very little time left, the future for gaming is tablets and cloud boxes.

If there is anything to learn from this gen of consoles, its that the best hardware doesn't always be the most successful. Plus, the 3DS is selling fantastically at the moment, it moved 3,000 short of 900,000 just 2 weeks ago.

A constant stream of triple A titles? How about just so great Nintendo games, thats what sells Nintendo's consoles the best.

Not even worth the effort Colin. Just by the tone of his posts his mind is already on a set path. These doom and gloom threads are really getting old. This is one of the better launch lineups and sales are fine, actually pretty excellent in Japan and na. If you feel the tablets are the future, well hell man, no ones stopping you. Go for it bud and be happy. Keep the memories because Nintendo obviously isn't for you anymore .

Just not for you bud what can we say? Just sell it and move on .

Where do I start? the interface is poor and confusing and very very slow. Super Mario looked unfinished, unimaginative  and lacked polish compared to something like New Super Mario bros Wii and certainly Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Thank heavens for Skylanders or I would have a very disappointed little boy this Christmas, he loves this game and it feels like the only properly developed and finished Wii U product we have. I am sure it is just as good on other platforms though.

There has been a lot of talk about this being Nintendo's last console and that the future for them will be as a software house for iPad, PS4 and Xbox and this seems inevitable to me at this point in time. Trouble is, if they do not pull up their socks with the quality of their output then I do not see a big future for them in that market either.

Before the flaming starts, remember I have always been a Nintendo fan boy and I really hope the next wave of games bring the magic back.

Mario is finished, what makes you think otherwise?
Unimaginative how? Because it follows the 20 million selling formula?

I dunno, skylanders is an activision published title, you sure that feels finished and complete?
How many of the characters have you, and dlc?

Only apple fangirls believe Nintendo will stop producing consoles after the wii, wii u, or any of their consoles.
They want Nintendo's games on iOS for $1, which is never going to happen.

Why would we flame you?

I had to stop reading right there for a bit....... Is this really a bad thing? wii sports is a bad game..........

Wii Sports is not a bad game.
It's a simple, friendly, fun game.
It has no story, graphics are very very dated.
It's still one of the best games in the past few years from anyone.

Personally I think you and your family have set your expectations way too high. Not only that but its pretty silly dismissing a system after its only been out a few weeks. Most consoles go through the same phase at launch but things improve over time.

I agree the interface is not up to par compared to other consoles on the market and it is slow. However this shouldn't be enough to detract from the console as a whole.

Regards NSMB U I have to whole heartedly disagree. It's far for unfinished Nd is one of the best 2D Mario platform games in a long time and In fact its the best one since Super Mario World in my opinion. As for comparing it to Super Mario Galaxy 2 that's just plain ridiculous as that's a 3D game and you cannot compare the two.

I can't personally comment on Nintendo Land as I don't own it and haven't played it. I have however played Wii Sports and from I've seen, read, and heard of Nintendo Land its a far better pack in game then Wii Sports. Wii Sports was very shallow and got boring very quickly and is by no means the best way to showcase a new console and its features.

As for Zombi U I'm not a big fan of FPS or survival horror games but even I can see its merits and the fact that its one of the best games on the Wii right now as well as being a Wii exclusive. It makes great use of the Gamepad which although I dislike as a controller offers some great gameplay features and should only get better as time goes by.

Like I said above the controller offers some innovative features and I don't think you fully understand what it offers now and what it could offer in the future. If used properly and with care and thought it has the potential of enhancing games and making multiplatform games far better on the Wii U.

I don't know where you've been reading this maybe Nintendo's last console and they may end up making games for their competitors but I've not read or heard that anywhere and if you believe that then no disrespect but you must be very cynical. In my opinion that is just absolute rubbish and is not going to happen. The 3DS is doing very well  and the Wii U is doing pretty good for a new launch console. I suggest you wait and see how the Wii U does in the long term before coming to the ridiculous motion of writing off Nintendo as a console manufacture. They are not going anywhere anytime soon.

On a final note I suggest you sell the console if you're not happy with it and don't see a future in it or Nintendo. If you do however them I feel you will regret it.

By the way this thread really belongs in the Wii U hardware section and not here.

It sounds to me like you had your expectations set way too high . Yes, the Wii U is slow but im sure Nintendo are working on it and IMO it shouldnt hugely effect your enjoyment of the console as a whole.

I dont see the problem with NSMBU, ok it doesnt have the greatest graphics in the world, but like all Super Mario Bros. games graphics are meaningless and gameplay (which is always good) is what counts.

You didnt really specify why you or your family dislike Nintendoland, but it is certainly more entertaining than wii sports. Maybe you should try playing more than just two of the minigames before judging the game as a whole.

Also, with regards to ZombiU, its not Nintendos fault that you dislike FPS, and if you gave it a chance you would realise that it is probably the best launch game for Wii U and that it really makes good use of the gamepad.

Lastly, I doubt Nintendo will fail considering the strong sales of both the Wii U and 3DS, look up the sales figures and you will realise you are wrong.

Then guess what company I won't be buying games from.

it's a puzzle game where you joint he dots.
How much power does it need?

How about we just say that all the consoles are equally great and we just buy the systems and games that we all want! No Sony is better or Nintendo is better. They are both great and we will have fun with the consoles like we have the consoles before them.

Edit: I say this with enthusiasm in my voice not anger!

Dude NONE of the games looked like Wii U, I haven't seen or heard of any Wii U game looking half as good what they showed. PS4 is like 10x more powerful than Wii U already and now on top of that they have even BETTER 3rd party support, I dont know man Nintendo is falling behind fast, Zelda and Mario isn't going to save them anymore. It seems like Nintendo is still the "little kids" console and not going after the hardcore/ more serious games. I dont know how you think it sucked it was literally a small taste of whats to come, Nintendo better get thier shi* together because as of now my wii u looks like its going to be sold to help me get a ps4..

Slow down bro, anything showed today that was live rendered, as in, running on the hardware as they were talking about it, isn't anything new or mindblowing, and PS4 is no where near 10x the Wii U.  The target renders looked great but real gameplay won't be all they claim it to be.  This is a hype conference, they are only going to speak positives about the console, and most of it is hyperbole.

I'm personally not interested in the PS4. If they think they can tell me what I can and can't do with my own games by locking them to the console, they won't be getting a penny from me. For example, I buy a game like Colonial Marines, turns out to be crap.....I'm stuck with it as it's locked to my console. So that game I've just dropped my hard earned money on this morning, may as well just get chucked in the bin as it's useless as I can't trade it in or take it back for a refund.

Sorry Sony, this is my first PlayStation I won't be owning!

As soon as he mentioned predicting what I want to play I was turned off completely for now.  I don't want a console predicting what I want and using my bandwidth to preload it.  I don't want my console tracking my behavior and my preferences to ensure everyone on the internet can see it.  I don't want people I add as friends looking over my shoulder creeper style watching me game.

I'

I'm not being negative . I think a good 80% of the PS4 games would be transferred quite easily to Wii U

Just that Sony do make a point at listening to game developers and giving theme exactly what they want. Whereas Nintendo listens to Nintendo and then expects developers to deal with it. I know Nintendo can't afford to be expensive and provide 1.21 Giawatts. However credit where credit is due. Sony gave devs what they wanted, then added their own spin on social gaming. Again something Nintendo started doing before however they have improved on the concept.

Nintendo actually have been listening.  Criterion devs said they got great support from Nintendo even though Nintendo don't exactly have a handle on the hardware yet, it wasn't finalized until 2H 2012.

lol @ people saying it's 10x more powerful

So I heard Reggie and Iwata will be attending the farewell party Sony hosted for the handhelds division.
