Michael Pachter talks about some of his recent negative Wii U comments, the state of the gaming industry, and about his haters.
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.
My only problem with Nintendo, is that they push Mario more than any of their other IPs. That is why I moved past the Mario games and love their other IPs more. Zelda, Pokemon, Starfox, among others hold more weight than Mario. IMO. I sure this is different for others and I respect that.
I want new IPs from them and for them to go back to some of their older IPs, that is not Mario. Next year looks real good for Nintendo, the WII U and I can't wait for Pikmin 3.
haters love patcher because he caters to their nonsense...wiiu is a great system with unbelievable uniqueness and miiverse is great...once nintendo advertize everything the right way and get tvii and more games.....it will be a complete success
I'll say it as many times as it takes: I dislike the sewage that is his opinion because he is constantly wrong, yet continues down incorrect and illogical paths of reasoning with his predictions.
The main point of contention with this article I have: where are those software numbers pulled from, and what do they actually represent? I am having a hard time believing this, as Nintendo has led Japanese software all year(unless he is talking only USA, Which is understandable)
Are these sales 1st, or 1st and 3rd party inclusive? How do they compare to themselves this year as apposed to last year? That statement is lacking in context, something a person in his position shouldn't be allowing himself to do.

" I fear they'll discontinue the wii u next month due to poor third party support. Food for thought."
Now I know you aren't serious with your recent wiiu comments...^ͺ^
Lol.
I fear they'll discontinue the wii u next month due to poor third party support. Food for thought.
For the record I do not own a vita nor am I into handhelds so I'm not exactly concerned with those figures. I own a ps3, 360, and pc and enjoy them for what they bring... So nope, not a fanboy.
Sorry double post.
