“We don’t have any disappointments compared to the installed base. We are just hoping that Nintendo’s results for Wii U will be a bit bigger, like Iwata-san said,” he commented. “Selling a new way of playing can take some time, and we know the power of the brands from Nintendo and we know from the fans that the majority of what will be the system sellers are not yet available. And on our side, Rayman will be one of them for sure. We really expect Rayman to be a huge system seller on the console.”
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
Nintendo has done a terrible job marketing this thing. Even intelligent, knowledgeable gamers on n4g don't get the point of the gamepad. How could the mass market? Unfortunately the gamepad's potential can't be demonstrated in a two second clip like the wiimote. People have to already have it in their home before they understand what makes it great. I don't know how you could market that...
From the article: "In ZombiU for instance, the players are really fond of the multiplayer mode because it’s totally new; it’s like one FPS player against an RTS player."
Doesn't that sound great? That's because it is. And that's just a launch title from one company. I just hope some more developers can come up with innovative ways to use the pad before everything crashes and burns.
The gamepad is a great piece of hardware that I am enjoying more and more with each new game I get. I personally love it. I agree that off-screen play should be required, it is one of the bigger reasons why I like it so much. I also do think adding the touchscreen makes it a fun, new way to play games and control my console and T.V.
If the console does flop, it will be a shame, but Nintendo will be moving on to a new console in 5-6 years anyway. After a price drop and more games, I would encourage fence sitters to pick it up, and enjoy it for what it is. The $ -to- FUN ratio is certainly in the positive category for me.
Pack it up Ubisoft
maybe people would see it.... if Ubisoft wasnt a dick and delayed a (finished)game I should be playing right now.
lol yeah try to sell that controll scheme to ppl so they can buy more Wiius and by your game lol!!!!
Man stfu and consumers are talking they are tired of the same old, same old ips and bs Nintendo passes off as next gen hardware!!!!!
Im not like others on here that trys to sugar coat #hit. I speak off of personal thoughts and the reasons i gave above is the main reason i havent picked up a Wiiu and im sure there are thousands and millions who feel the same. The casuals have flocked so they arent the ones buying the systems the hardcores are!!!!
