Does the WiiU stand any chance of replicating the massive success of the original Nintendo Wii console?
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.
Let's look at the two things that lead to the Wiis success.
Large appeal to the casual market do to the motion control fad, and by far being the cheapest console available at the time.
They may get some mileage of the tablet fad (which is what they are trying to do), but they won't have the advantage of starting it. Price wise, (If I remember right) The Wii was 300 dollars cheaper than the second cheapest console this gen. Yea I doubt the WiiU will have the same advantage.
So no.
I dont think it will fail but i dont think it will be as successful as the wii due to the wii focusing at the massive audience of media core gamers(House wifes and little kids)Though, there's a certain percent of hardcore wii gamers, there's not as much as there are for xbox and ps3,and i dont think those gamers will buy this because it is already looking like it will be outdated by next gen.....
No, it will not be able to, and neither will any other console ever again besides some sort of genius handheld.
Hopefully no so like that there's less shovelware
No
