I can see where y'all are comin' from here, but, hey! If Nintendo charged, say, 99 cents per E3 demo on the eShop, they could make some profit...

Let's be real here, how many gamers actually have friends who aren't gamers?

*raises her hand*

Word of mouth.

HEY FRIEND COME OVER AND PLAY THIS NEW MARIO KART DEMO

FRIEND IS HAPPY AND SAYS OH MY GOSH GOLLY GOSHKINS I WANT A WII U NOW TO BUY THAT GAME WHEN IT COMES OUT

 

And all demo's can be buggy, this is just a cop-out.

Let's be real here, how many gamers actually have friends who aren't gamers?

Hello there and enjoy your stay here!

Hello there, enjoy our insane company we have here.

Am I allowed to post this?

The only reason these threads pop up is because they must compete with the gloom threads. If Mourn or GC would do something about the gloom threads this wouldn't be necessary.

These people claimed that the Wii was weaker than the original Xbox, and still called the Wii next-gen; The Wii U is clearly better than any current consoles and yet they're trying to tell us that it's on the same level (if not lower than) the PS360. The Wii U uses PowerPC architecture (like current machines), but meaty enough to be competitive with x86 machines on the horizon. They take that the PowerPC guts means it's weak, but in reality it produces sufficiently similar results in a different manner (sadly, this'll screw us over with 3rd parties who can't be bothered with actual porting). They say that because the Wii U cannot play Blu-Ray discs, it's last-gen compared to the PS3. The Wii U uses modified Blu-Rays (or at least Blu-Ray capacity discs) that read differently as a form of copy protection (and don't most of already have at least 3 things that can play Blu-Rays, or even have On-Demand?). And using the "it came earlier than the others" argument would mean that the Dreamcast would be with the PSone and N64 (an idea that'll get you laughed out of the room anywhere, any day of the week). I say we let them have their repetitive SBPBF (Shoot brown people because freedom) games (they say Nintendo is repetitive? Super Mario Sunshine has more variety than the entire CoD franchise!) while we enjoy actual innovation!
