Steve Peterson: ''The trend line isn't good, the forecast is bad, and the competition is ugly; what is Nintendo planning to do?''
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.
Blah blah blah blah.
No one said this rubbish when the ps3 was stupidly priced or xbox not selling in japan lol
This gets said everytime Nintendo does something since the cube and bar the cube they have killed it each time.
someone needs to sing a different tune.
I agree it's like a bunch of fanboys scared that Nintendo has a stellar console and some of the best developers in the world if not the best,when the games start flying out it will be over already for Sony and Microsoft ?
Xenoblade looks NEXTGEN compared to anything ive ever seen and this is a 1st gen game,ps3's 1st gen games were crap.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. The only intervention needed is for articles like these to stop.
im not sure what you're talking about...wiiu is 3 millions sold and counting, 3ds is 25 millions ahead of the psvita..wii is still selling and well, the ds is even still selling...so im not sure where all these nonsense articles come from and sony and microsoft are just now making profits on their systems...so go figure
