Nintendo Admits: Wii U Will Not Compete Against PlayStation 4, Xbox Next
Nintendo has admitted that while its forthcoming Wii U game console will support high-definition graphics and will be rather powerful, it will not be able to compete with the next-generation systems from Microsoft Corp. or Sony Corp. in terms of performance as they will be ultra-powerful. Instead, Nintendo calls its approach balanced as it features both improvements and exclusive technologies.
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.
Nowhere do I read anything about "brute force".
Nintendo doesn't even know what the hardware of the other consoles is going to be.
Well it already looks like the next Xbox and PS4 will be somewhat regular powered so Wii U can best be described as under powered.
Wii U will essentially be what the Wii was this gen in terms of power.
I guess Nintendo is forgoing major 3rd party support again.
So this is a game we can play?
Take a quote, interpret however we want, and then write an article explaining said quote based on how we want to read it.
And pass it off as official confirmation from the company?
not brute force, more date rape?
Well. Nintendo is good at making "FUNNY TO PLAY" videogames like Wii party, Wii sports etc. They also have the best first-party games. On the technical side they seem to not care that much about having the best visuals anymore. They rather do something new, which will enhance gameplay more and be more funny to play.
Microsoft will go for Kinect next generation with not so much power. PS4 might not even come out. Anyway Nintendos machine is a must and one out of microsofts or SONYs are a must as well, not both. I made a huge misstake buying both 360 and PS3 this gen. They are like twins but with a different look.
