3 Reasons you won't buy Wii U

No good product gives a customer two reasons to not buy it. From what Nintendo's shown us so far, the Wii U gives people three.

jacksheen00005024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

I think the Wii U is not going to fail simply because a lot of game developers that has already joined Nintendo's bandwagon don't want Nintendo to fail. That being said, if nintendo fails that means it going to be less competition in the Gaming world; which would means less money for the game developers/computer manufactures. That also apply to Microsoft and Sony as well.

jack_burt0n5024d ago

Agreed, but I am poor and if i get enough money together for a pressie for me, it will be a psv :P

BattleAxe5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

I'd rather spend my money on a PSV or a GTX 570. Seriously though, can anyone tell me what games the WiiU would be worth getting for? Mario Bros? Zelda? Metroid?.....anything else?

sinclaircrown5024d ago

Mario, Zelda, Metroid and lets see.. anything else devs want to make?

Nintendo have some spending money. Even if its not a huge leap in tech from the PS3 or 360 it'll be the most advanced gaming console so devs will want to try it.

You act like three huge franchises for one console is a bad thing.

BattleAxe5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

The WiiU might have about as much power as a PC with an Intel i5 2 Core Processor, 1GB Ram and a 4XXX Series AMD GPU which is old tech. Either way, comparing the next XBOX and Playstation with the WiiU will be the same as comparing the PS3/360 to the current Wii console. The WiiU is a "stop gap measure" until Sony and Microsoft release the hounds.

NiKK_4195024d ago

I think devs will put out games for it... Until ps4 and next xbox come out. I truly believe it won't be supported long after that, if it's even that much to begin with.

I disagree. 3rd party devs get almost no money from Nintendo, people only buy 1st party games for their systems(in general). The devs may not want them to fail, but that doesn't mean they won't.

#2 makes a lot of sense. Idk if 3rd party devs are willing to risk jumping in head first only to get burned like on the Wii

jacksheen00005024d ago

Oh, 3rd party devs do make money.And Lots of it.
Besides, how do you think 3rd party devs stay in business in the first place. They have to pay all of their employees, upgrade their system every several years, advertisement cost has to be fulfilled for each game they make,pay Rent, etc etc.

My point is, Nintendo plays in important role when it comes to competition in the gaming industry;which helps in a big way simply because Sony/M$/Nintendo feed off on each other to keep the gaming market alive. Especially during our economical crisis.And, because of our economy being so bad, companies our going to do what ever it takes to make sure the money is still rolling in.

Truth is, In the gaming industry, the investors wants results and if the 3rd party can't produce results, than they are going to have a harder time staying alive in the market place.

And, of course, I don't think the 3rd party dev our going to let Nintendo fail with out a Fight because it makes money for them, even though Nintendo is the underdog in the gaming industry.

Shouldn't it be "3 reason that >>I<< won't buy >>the<< Wii U"

Poor grammar aside, it's annoying to read an article that seems to think it can speak for you. Even if I was dead against buying the Wii U (which I wont know until it's launched and I know the facts) I wouldnt need to list out my reasons, especially these 3.

Gungnir5024d ago

Yeah, last time I checked, I made my own decisions about whether or not I purchased something.

vickers5005024d ago

Who told you such foolish things?

Drekken5024d ago

No. YOU. He knows what you will do. He is that good.

illegalyouth5024d ago

I won't be buying a Wii U because it's not going to have any exclusive games I want to play. Been burned too many times, Nintendo. The only Wii title I regularly play is Monster Hunter Tri. That's not promising.

Arnon5024d ago

That's your own fault, though. I personally would love to see a lot of the franchises I've played as a child in HD. Whether I buy one though is a different story.

jwk945024d ago

how's that his fault? he's been playing the same games since he was a child, in no way is that his fault.

Emilio_Estevez5024d ago

Don't worry they'll be there. Haven't you noticed they make the same games every generation? These will be different, they will have a "U" at the end of the name. So ready for Mario-U

Terminu55024d ago

I lost touch with my Nintendo roots a long time ago, so it'll need a real whopper of a product to hook me back. Meanwhile, I'll stick to PC.

JBSleek5024d ago

3 reasons I will buy the Wii-U

1. I'm a gamer
2. I'm a gamer
3. I'm a gamer

Any other reason is irrelevant at this time.

Spenok5024d ago

Lol well said.

Plus, you just can't deny Zelda. She demands you play with her. xD

Because the PS4 has slow loading times I do prefer PS5 versions of games. The PS5 does load PS4 games faster but with a native PS5 version it loads much faster and it looks a bit better and better draw distance and such. So for me , I do want these 3rd releases for certain games and this is one of them. It’s one of my favorite PS3 games. Nobody is forced to buy it. It is not hurting anyone and it gives devs more money to make future games. These re-releases aren’t selling millions but it’s nice for people like me or people who never played the game.

Gamehard209d ago

It's a free upgrade for anyone that owns the PS4 and I'm assuming Xbox one version digitally.

jznrpg209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

I came back to add that it was free. Hard to be upset about a free upgrade. I would like to have a PS5 physical copy but it’s better than nothing

The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.

RaidenBlack574d ago

All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?

anal_vegan_moans573d ago

Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.

GhostScholar573d ago

I think asylum and origins were great. City was good. Knight was horrible.

Ezio2048574d ago

You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.

Tacoboto574d ago

To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.

IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8

darthv72574d ago

Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.

SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.

Zeke68573d ago

Thanks for the spoiler how the game starts loser...

darthv72573d ago

Zeke... you've had plenty of time to play god of war 2.

GaboonViper574d ago

And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.

BehindTheRows574d ago

From the same folks who gave it a 10/10 no less.
