Already a success in my home, looking forward to the future!

Abdou0233876d ago

I like this, I also like what Ubisoft has been doing for the system.
Shame on Bethesda...

mcstorm3876d ago

I agree I am loving my WiiU and even though I am getting a xbox one day one im only interested in Forza and KI where I have Zelda HD, DK, Mario 3D on pre order as well as already have wonderful101 and Pikmin 3 and also have Pokémon X on pre order. Great time to be a Nintendo owner.

dredgewalker3876d ago

Nintendo don't need Activision to be successful. They've been successful with the Wii and 3ds without the need for activision games.

Nevers0ft3876d ago

It depends. Although few of their games appeal to me, multiplats from 3rd parties certainly won't do the console any harm.

How about releasing a game like destiny for Wii U instead of spongebob and wipeout... Those are shovelware at its best.

LOL_WUT3876d ago

Wasn't Activision upset over the low Wii U CoD sales? How would Destiny be any different? Besides it's an online driven game I don't think Nintendo's hardware would be able to pull it off IMO. ;)

"Wasn't Activision upset over the low Wii U CoD sales?"

Wow, a game that got none of the DLC that the other versions got sold worse, oh I'm shocked.

AbortMission3876d ago

inb4 the fanboy comments that claim Wii u can handle PS4/One games Lol

imXify3876d ago

Stop talking crap and start with Free Fall and DLC on CoD Ghosts please... >:[

Gemmol3876d ago (Edited 3876d ago )

Activision and Ubisoft need Nintendo, because after call of duty, and a couple of other high profile games, they will need Nintendo to sell their lesser games.....for example Skylanders sell most on Nintendo and Just Dance sell the most on Nintendo.....these games do not use resource like the other high profile games, so they end up receiving bigger profits, but if there is a time when these lesser games sell more on xbox and playstation....then activision and ubisoft will go towards the EA route and make excuses about putting their games on Nintendo....despite two new systems with zero install base get new games, but still say Nintendo do not have a install base.....which I think they forget when 360 and ps3 drop.....the ps2 sold more madden then 360 and ps3 but they still made games for those system with the smaller base

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael69d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay68d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael69d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM68d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj69d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor69d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj69d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman69d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese69d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX69d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek69d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin69d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
