The Wii may have been a success this generation but what does this mean for the Wii U? This is a complicated question. The Wii without a doubt blew away the 360/PS3 in sales numbers. This generation became less about which console had the best graphics but what could cater to the masses. But even with this success does this mean the Wii was truly the winner of this last generation and what does this mean for the Wii U?
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Quite possibly
The Nintendo Wii U entertainment system is launching this holiday season with a very affordable price for a next generation console. Nintendo knows that affordability is one of the major factors for the survival and success of a gaming platform. Strategic pricing plays as a major key factor in blasting the install rate of your gaming platform to successful heights right out of the launch gate.
So far we have all witnessed the supreme innovations that come standard with the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system. Along with next generation graphical capability, and many 1st and 3rd party exclusive offerings. Many great experiences that shed a blinding light on the future of how videogames will be played.
The Nintendo Wii entertainment system was the clear winner of the current generation. Selling upward of 100 million units. Greatly surpassing other current generation offerings as far as sales go. I do believe that it will become increasingly difficult for any major gaming corporation to match numbers like that again. But I do believe that Nintendo and Microsoft have a shot in the dark to toppling the illustrious numbers of the Nintendo Wii entertainment system. Both have done a fantastic job this generation in catering to the masses. Spawning new and unique innovations that have successfully reached out to gamers from all walks of life.
At this point only time will tell the tale
Rated E For Everyone
No. I want to see it be successful but, it will not sell nearly as much as the Wii and the Nintendo fanboys will have to stop hiding behind sales.
It has a yet to be announced feature that will blow everyone's mind.
Also, the original prototype controller was shown at E3 2011 just to get public opinion for the final model.
I mention this for two reasons. One, Nintendo is ALWAYS thinking about the long game. And I when I say "the long game" I mean decades into the future.
Two, Nintendo always likes to hold something back for later in the game.
Either way, the next few years are going to be very interesting.
I must warn Nintendo fans about one thing. The Wii U will not be greeted as warmly by the mainstream press, certain websites, and certain forums. This has nothing to do with the actual quality of the product. Expect a LOT of negativity coming from the "usual sources." This will be an attack on the scale of DS 2006. Be ready.
After a few structural changes are made, it can take this industry by storm..
GAMES GAMES GAMES from 3rd & 1st to continue to flow in.. Plenty of M rated content as well
Features that core gamers are comfortable with like pro controller support for ALL games & maybe accomplishments implemented into a lot more titles..
NETWORK thats strong & competitive going into the future..
If all those things are met as well as a few others, theres NO reason wii u cant be dominant for core & casual gamers
