Joseph DiGrado writes, "With the recent release of Nintendo’s Wii U console and the expectation of dominant sales, it seems that Nintendo may have hit a plateau in the eyes of gamers. As the sales surprisingly dropped down to barely over a hundred thousand a week only several months after release, Nintendo seems as if they may have run into a pickle. But this may not all be so true."
Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, has said that the studio plans to remain a small independent game developer.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
3 games will be leaving Xbox Game Pass by the end of March, 2024. This includes Hot Wheels Unleashed: GOTY Edition & MLB The Show 23.
Exactly the opposite could happen too. Who knows? The market is too unpredictable to make an adequate guess on which platform will sell the most. The best thing one can look to is history, and even history lacks consistency at times.
With that said, can we please just take the wait and see approach? I've had enough with the crystal balls over "who will sell best/worst/whatever" for one generation. All it seems to do is breed flame wars anyway.
Mario Kart 8, Zelda and a new Retro Studios Metroid will do wonders for sales.
With a release 1 year before PS4/Xbox 3, it would be normal to see that.
Wii U has no games because Nintendo wanted to release before and not confront against PS4/Xbox.
Wii U will have big IP fall 2013/early 2014, when PS4/Xbox 3 will just release, after a big desert.
And maybe, there will be a price cut for Wii U when PS4/Xbox will release at 400-450$
So no need to be happy, that's normal ...
Down the price to 249 USD and release AAA games like Zelda and Nintendo will have the 3DS effect, simple Nintendo good price and AAA games,
i dont know if their fanbase can hold up considering most of it last gen was because of marketing the wii motes and wii sports. they dont have that anymore so casual gamers and parents may turn to the ps4 and 720 if they can bring the goods with the ps3 move and kinect to the casuals aswell as nintendo did last gen.
