VG247: ''Industry analyst Michael Pachter has clarified comments from earlier in the week about the Wii U and 3DS, arguing that poor hardware sales will keep software sales low, leading to tough times for the big N.''
The original 'Super Mario Bros' for NES ended up on Atari, Spectrum, Amstrad, and Commodore 64 in frankly worse but unique versions, considering what
Nintendo has used March 10 (aka MAR10 Day) to make a number of Mario related announcements, including an update on Super Mario Bros Movie 2.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
Hear that guys...it's the sound of Pachter tearing up the ground.....digging himself into a bigger hole
Just what world needs, more Pachter face-time...
Damn, I guess we were all wrong. If Patcher says so, then the Wii U WILL succeed :)

When the software comes, the system will sell.
Why is this Hard for people? lol. Remember those "PS3 has no games" memes back in '06-'08? Then after Metal Gear Solid 4, everyone shut up about it.
No, the Wii U is not Worth getting right now, and it sucks for us early adopters, But once the Mario Kart, and the 3D Mario game come out, systems will start being moved, and it will be less a discussion of sales, but more about games this gen.
