Sony UK boss Fergal Gara has suggested that the firm doesn't feel threatened by the Wii U's Christmas launch, but that Sony will be keeping tabs on the popularity of Nintendo's console far more closely in the new year.
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.
Seriously? Maybe if they were selling them at $199, but this is pure bull. I can't probably get a WiiU till tax season next year, not cause i can't afford one, but because of availability. If they launch another system for more than $300 bucks, Ill be playing on my ps3 till the WiiU comes out, and maybe, just maybe I'll be buying a ps4 the year after. There's been like 10 different sku's since the ps3 launched, now they got one that has a sliding door. I a Sony fanboy, but im not gonna pretend that they are doing the right things when they aren't. I could wait till 2014 or 2015 cause by then, all the games I want like a new motorstorm or God of War will be price dropped that I'll beable to get like 10 titles for under $200. I've learned alot this gen. And hopefully most of you did too. Rule #1 that I learned was don't buy games at launch, the price drops almost a month after launch. Rule #2, DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE! THEY ARE JUST VIDEO GAMES!
if theres a $50 to $100 price drop just before release then yea ! just like the 3ds $100 price drop when vita released
Of course not,the WII-U are already most sold out,SONY will still sell well because nintendo dont have product for demand this christmas.
Sony will soon learn that pricing these days is everything.
Sony greatly underestimated Nintendo in Japan,and look were they are now...
Never underestimate Nintendo.
