I winder what wiiU sales are..

truechainz3859d ago

Sad that you feel the need to immediately try to divert attention away from good news. Says a lot about you. That and the fact that you edited your comment and still misspelled wonder.

Brazz3859d ago

He's just saying a fact, lol! WiiU sales are weak, like PS Vita sales.
I dare say that at this point Nintendo is almost giving up from WiiU, you know why? because they have a beeter optioncalled 3DS!
put all possible "fanboy spirit" aside, and focus your mind in possibility of profit...
that is the question:
If you are Nintendo, that is very strong in the first party development, and, as every company has a limit of investment projects (games), you would create games in HD, with a high amount of spending, for a console that sells 20k-30k per week and has no support from others, or would invest in your product which is able to outsell all other consoles in the market "TOGETHER"!? (not to mention the low cost of producing games that do not require features such as HD)
Put the spirit of fanboy aside, and think:
The nintendo will invest heavily in the golden boy who has even the possibility of surpass Playstation 2 and the original DS or the "underdog" whit poor sales, and which is criticized by many consumers and industry members, plus almost no third-party support.
face facts, the 3DS is so fantastic, and so good, that nintendo did not have to "risk" in the WiiU. Of course Nintendo wants a successful Wii U, repeat the generation Wii / DS which undoubtedly became the most successful in the history of nintendo, but the situation is very different now, and nothing indicates that the WiiU will have the strength to dominate the competition.
sorry for my english, i'm not american, nor from england, and sorry if I offended anyone, i just said what I see on the picture presented. A console so strong and profitable that is killing his "younger brother".

Chrischi19883859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

Sorry, but you are off topic, its news about a mobile handheld. What does the truth you are talking about matter, if you are in a completely wrong area to discuss that? Are we talking about how Sony finally managed to make profit after over 5 years of the console being released? No, because this is a 3DS topic. Go troll somewhere else or study so you can finally manage to get past 8th grade.

A handheld and a console aim for different people with different needs. But I guess you never thought about, that nintendo might want to increase its install base on Wii U. How were 3DS sales before they released their first party games? How many first party games are there for Wii U? How can someone even try to know what will happen with the console, if it doesnt even have the main selling point released?

Man you made me angry right now, always this BS. Oh nintedo made something good, I have to be a total a** and have to point out where nintendo is bad right now, even if it is way off topic. Good job.

n4f3859d ago

you failed at trolling.

AceBlazer133859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

geez how many ppl are there to buy a 3ds again?

KonsoruMasuta3859d ago

Can you blame them? Especially with monster Hunter 4 out.

The 3DS is a must have.

AceBlazer133859d ago

yh but you would think everyone who wanted a 3ds would have one by now. and it's not like the sales are just coming bit by bit, they're coming in full force.

_QQ_3859d ago

Imagine what happens October12th

lilbroRx3859d ago

Why would you think that everyone who wanted a 3DS would have one by now? Its not the Vita. The 3DS is actually fun and has something unique to offer. On top of that it has loads of good games on it and coming out for it.

Shin Megami Tensei 4 is awesome. The 3D just makes it even more delicious.

sincitysir13859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

U just can't be happy for the 3ds huh? Childish. And just to be sure I understand, what's so unique about it? U mean the 2 screens that has been around for like 8 years now? Or the 3d that they're getting rid of? Please enlighten me. It's a great device but don't exaggerate.

Chrischi19883859d ago

Why are you so angry about his comment? Did he say something bad about it?

TongkatAli3859d ago

Playing games on my Vita are very fun : / Playing Final Fantasy IX, old game, but I see no 3DS rpg that tops that one.

Congrats to the 3DS!

CrimsonStar3859d ago

just wait till Pokémon comes out .

Murad3858d ago

Dude don't insult the 3DS, that thing is badass. It has Fire Emblem, it has Monster Hunter and so on and so forth. EVEN SHIN MEGAMI TITLES. Go troll somewhere else.

mcstorm3859d ago

Wow and it has yet to have a pokemon game. I think they will go crazy once Pokémon x and y are out and I am one of the fans who cant wait to get the game. Great console Nintendo and glad its selling well after a slow start. Lest hope you can turn the WiiU around as well as it is anther under rated console.

Beetey3859d ago

Exactly. It's crazy to think that we are talking about how great the system is selling when its first Pokemon game is still a few weeks out. IMO the 3DS's has the greatest lineup of games ever.

Seriously. Ever.

mcstorm3859d ago

I agree. I remember when Sony showed off the PSV and I was blown away by the games for it and at that point the lineup of games on the 3DS was poor but how that has changes. I have felt Sony have neglected the PSV and Nintendo have given everything to the 3DS and im loving the device and cant wait for Pokémon. I do hope Nintendo give the WiiU the same love but looking at the next lineup of games they are now starting too. We even have super smash bros to look forward to next year too.

nosferatuzodd3859d ago

wow 3ds is a monster i have a psp vita but you of to give respect to the mighty 3ds

N4GDgAPc3859d ago

I have no clue at all on what the sentence says^^

Blastoise3859d ago

Wow, 3DS is a monster. I have a Playstation Vita, but you have to give respect to the mighty 3DS

Or something like that..

KonsoruMasuta3859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

It says "Wow!! The 3DS is a monster!! I own the competition's handheld, but I have to give respect to the spectacular, wonderful, super-duper, divine, wise and all knowing 3DS. "

Belking3859d ago

This is what you call success.

lilbroRx3859d ago

And yet there are still people who attack the 3DS like its a flop while praising vita. Its makes no sense.

sincitysir13859d ago

Same thing ur doing now isn't it? To a lesser degree albeit still the same

lilbroRx3859d ago

No, its not the same. The Vita has been largely unsuccessful. Just stating that fact isn't attacking it.

There is nothing ridiculous about that. The 3DS on the other had has been the lead selling piece of gaming hardware for over a year, and yet I still see articles talking about how Nintendo needs to improve this and that with the 3DS, and how Nintendo is going to die.

ThePsychoGamer3859d ago

So saying the Vita isn't doing well is just stating a fact, but by your comment history, anyone who says the same thing about the Wii U are just bashing Nintendo?

I think you just won the award for biggest hypocrite on this site.

lilbroRx3859d ago

By my comment history? You didn't get that from mine.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

6h ago
rlow16h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

Fieyy5h ago

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot5h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia2h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

Fieyy2h ago

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

arkard1h ago

How was that Sonys fault?

Fieyy1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Is Sony not the publisher?

jjb19811h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It's crazy that you keep making accounts just to be a troll. You went through the trouble of making it just to try to stir the fanboy pot. 🤡 activities.

Fieyy1h ago

Still got your attention though huh ;)

just_looken1h ago

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Tacoboto24m ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC7h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer8h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6027h ago(Edited 7h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya5h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde5h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx5h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro13h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B10h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218310h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh10h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia10h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins10h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal10h ago

The first game was the best imo.
