I find it hilarious (and somewhat pathetic) soon after Nintendo announced the Wii U price cut we have many so called Journalist jumping the gun and calling the death of Nintendo. Just in a matter of days after the announcement of the price cut, the internet has an influx of “Nintendo is doomed” articles emerging. I can only envision these people as vultures – disease ridden opportunistic cowards waiting for the first sign of injury to go for the kill. Unfortunately, Vultures, Nintendo isn’t dead so you can feast on someone else while you wait for them to die (if that even happens).
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.
i hate fanboys

Not to forget the new IP'S that have yet to be named aswell as the possibility of Metroid, Starfox and F zero.
Plus a load of indie titles.
People forget who's:
A.) Been in the console business the longest
&
B.) Are the owners of the most famous and sales-generating IPs in the industry?
Nintendo.
Agreed - when people think of next-gen systems, they think of XBOX and PlayStation. But they're not thinking of those exact systems - they're thinking: "OMG - PRETTY GRAPHICS!" Where as Nintendo are all about quality gameplay experience not just something that looks nice.
When people think of Nintendo - they think of Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros, Starfox, etc. IPs like that. They think of their childhood memories of playing these games non-stop with smiles on their faces.
I'm not dissing Sony or Microsoft here - I'm just saying; people are in it for the specs these days. It baffles me that just because a console doesn't have 'XYZ' amounts of RAM or this graphics card or that graphics card - people lose their heads over it. You might as well go out and buy a PC if all you care about is specs.
Nintendo's IP's have more mass appeal than Sony's and Microsofts put together, and they certainly sell more.
So Nintendo is and always will be very much alive!
Yes it has but try telling that to all the biased media who hate nintendo and all the 5 yr old acting sony and microsoft trolls who want nintendo out of the hardware business, no matter how much proof you show them that nintendo is not doomed, their empty little heads can not come out of delusional world and face reality,, wait and read the comments you'll see what I mean! watch the little babies whine and cry saying they "KNOW" nintendo is doomed, yeah, just like so many people Know when the end of the world is coming, both completely stupid!!!
That was a good read.
I don't know why people have this unwarranted hate against Nintendo. It's okay to have your company and console of choice, but if you're going to spend the day ranting-&-raving by putting the rival company and console down, while showing an unhealthy (and rather pathetic) devotion to your favorite, who only care for your money, then you have a problem.
It's like fanboys believe that they are an extension of their system/company of choice, and as long as that system and/or company seems more attractive than the others - that suddenly gives them the right to act like stuck-up, snobby, rude, rich people. It's sad, really.
But whatever. Nintendo has been in the game business for 30 years. They own the most popular IPs in gaming, and are sitting on the mounds of cash they made with Wii & DS, as well as the mounds of cash they're MAKING with 3DS.
If you honestly think they're just going to prop out overnight - you have another thing coming. Ignore that Sony has been losing money for nearly 10 years (I know things have picked up, but if they start losing money again, what do you think they're gonna do with the PlayStation division?)
Yes, just ignore all that and doom the most long-standing and richest runner in the video-game industry.
Genius. So let's say that Wii U turns around like 3DS. What happens then? What is everyone going to say then?
"Well just wait for the next console. It'll fail, big time!" Wii was "doomed" - yet it outsold PS360. 3DS was "doomed" - yet it's outselling the Vita, and everything else. Wii U is "doomed" - but the big~hitters haven't arrived yet. When they arrive, and it doesn't sell - THEN - it's dead, but until then, can everyone stop being a Mini-Patcher?
When you're a fanboy and it's a fact that the company(ies) you're not a fan of has/have nearly a 0% failure track record, you begin to get jealous and feel that it's unfair for this to be the case and demand that they fail.
Who in the right mind would have such intense personal connections to a corporation that not even the employees that work there care about as much? The fanboy.
