The best way for console makers to deal with the used games market is to ensure their games are so good that people don't want to trade them in, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Polygon. But supporting used games is also important, he added.
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.
This is hilarious, go Nintendo! Tell Microsoft how it's done!
This gives me hope that Nintendo won't ever copy Microsoft's quest for avarice. Hopefully the XBONE's failure among the press will help the Nintendo Wii U rise up and overcome the XBONE. THAT I'd like to see! I can imagine it now, PS4 in first place, followed by the WII U with the XBONE in 3rd place. I can dream for a perfect world, but when a perfect world seems likely my dreams flesh out that image of a perfect world.
Microsoft (I hope) will get what they deserve. I hope this acts as an example to show how quickly a company can fall if they forget the consumer. Brace yourselves for the XBONE's launch, Microsoft! You're going to fall and nobody will be there to catch you.
I would usually condone the purchase of all 3 consoles but with this generation I really cannot do that. I believe that the only consoles worthy of a purchase are the WII U and the PS4 because they've stuck to what makes a games console brilliant whereas MS have strayed too far into an unknown abyss and fallen flat in doing so. So there you have it. Want a next-gen combo? Go with the WII U and PS4 (and a PC if you're after graphics and mods); I left the PC out because it's basically a super-powered console and yes, it HAS GOT EXCLUSIVES, but the console ones generally stand out more as exclusives and ease of access are all a console is really.
Roll on next gen, I really hope Sony soar, Nintendo get what they deserve (the WII U to be successful) and for Microsoft (with their anti-consumerist ways) to fail. Unless we stand up to such junk then companies will treat us however they want - just as Microsoft are trying to do with the XBONE.
Bwhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
hahaha so true. Even nintendo knows whats up.
wow get in there nintendo
Exactly! I never traded in my copy of MGS4 but did for lesser games like Killzone 2 that I didn't rate!
