Mario Wynands - the developer who claimed next-gen will fail - has clarified to NowGamer on exactly why he thinks next-gen will fail, stating that one of the 'big three' developers will drop out of the console market.
Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.
If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
The Nerd Stash: "The Wasteland is unforgiving, and there are a ton of brutal ways to die in the Fallout universe. We listed out the absolutely worst ones."
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Sony have a three for three successful streak going on with consoles.
I believe MS lost a ton of money on the original Xbox and still didn't bow out.
Nintendo have had relatively unsuccessful consoles in the past and are still kicking it today.
I believe the 'big 3' are stronger than most give them credit for. They have a wealth of highly acclaimed development studios under their wings collectively, which will keep them in the top rungs of this industry for the foreseeable future, IMHO.
I think the big three are still strong, but I do agree that one of them will probably struggle towards the end of the next-gen. Hard to say who, but I'd wager Nintendo will have some issues if its audience keeps shifting to iOS and other mobile handhelds.
nintendo should drop out and concentrate on a sega-like existence. sony is still powerful with its ps-brand and micky$oft got way too much money to feel the necessity to stop. nintendo is the only logical choice. their inhouse-titles are a far cry from their installments from the last few decades. to me it feels like they fired all of their programmers and just kept the lowpaid leveldesigners. it almost feels like they are squeezing everything out of it before they will be calling it quits as a hardware-manufacturing entity.
@timmyshire sorry man, but you know how the haters are, they are just dying for nintendo to fail, and the wii u is really next gen, but they will never admit it.
Nintendo have lots of money.
