Did either of you (who are commenting before me) even read the article?
It's not just that they're selling well - it's that they're still getting lots and lots of games. More games in 2013 than Wii will have gotten in the last three years combined by the time PS4 launches. One of the main points here is that if a starved Wii audience isn't upgrading, why would a still-fattened PS3/360 audience?
Given that GameStop isn't taking pre-orders yet... I don't see how they could have.
If you're talking about their "get information from us first" list, that's VERY different than pre-orders. 500,000 people were on the Wii U wait-list at GameStop, and way fewer people wound up actually buying them in the end.
But this has nothing to do with whether games will sell.
Welcome to 2006.
Why does being a prequel matter? A Link to the Past was a prequel. Ocarina of Time was a prequel.
Nah, everywhere I look Nintendo fans are all saying the system's sales will pick up when Pikmin 3 launches.
Skyward Sword: Playable demo at E3 2010, released holiday 2011.
MH3 and new Super Smash Bros. won't be Wii U exclusives.
They announced a "3D Mario" was in announcement.
There has never been a "3D Super Mario Bros." before.
New Super Mario Bros., the greatest system-seller of all time, isn't even selling it. Why would those games?
Aw, man. I forgot to get to the name part!
Deus Ex is I'm sure going to be awesome, especially if Straight Right is handling and uses the GamePad nearly as well as they did with Mass Effect 3. However, therein lies the problem: it's probably going to sell like Mass Effect 3.
You'd think HD collections wouldn't be too tough to port multiplatform - just use the original system as the basis for the new game, and have another team modify the code for the port. Plus, unlike current games the content is alre...
What about that part where he says 720p/30FPS is going to be their target for "consoles" right after that?
I really do hope Nintendo gives Hyrule the HD treatment, but I hope it doesn't come at the cost of really adding to the Hyrule universe. Even Skyward Sword, which touched on an entirely unseen era of the land's history, wasn't really all that ambitious: we've already seen the forest, volcano, and desert, and adding some differently-themed ruins wasn't really good enough.
I want to see the peoples of Hyrule I've come to know and love fleshed out even mo...
Eh, PS4 was taking losses that are almost as much as the Wii U costs when it launched. They could cut prices if they really wanted to.
I've seen the "unique experiences," and I know enough to say that the more "definitive Zelda experience" games tend to be better.
I'd hate to be president of SCE next year.
Exactly? Even Nintendo has sucked at making good games for the Nintendo audience on Wii U.
I don't really buy into it, but gamers have been "dealing with it" in terms of online-based access to games for quite awhile now. It's only when something catastrophic happens connected to the service that we see real and meaningful backlash.
