To be fair, even though Nintendo is worth more, they still would really be able to buy Sony, either. They'd have to have as deep of pockets as Microsoft, but that's off topic

Did you mean wouldn't? Anyway, my original statement is still true: Sony cannot buy Nintendo.

Which actually supports my point as well. Just because something is "possible" doesn't mean it will happen

When people are citing DX11 and specs as reasons for why it's absent, it doesn't really help their argument, either. I have no doubt sales have plenty to do with Wii U support, but probably not how people think it does.

Okay, here's a better reason: PS4 outsold the Wii U in a fraction of the time.

What do you mean why? Is pretty self explanatory.

Because it's hype and legacy, coupled with generation fatigue, convinced millions of people to adopt the PS4 in droves.

that and Ps3 was the most supported console for gamers in its late years and Sony had a perfect storm of marketing and using Microsoft's stupidity to their full advantage.

also for being the only one of the 3 who actually marketed their new console correctly in general. Sony would have to have tried in order to fail tbh.

Actually, Nintendo is worth more than Sony now, so it can't happen even if Sony OR Nintendo wanted it to.

Nintendo's stock is worth more than Sony's. Sony is worth a ton more than Nintendo overall.

That doesn't answer the question.

@CanisWolfred
What hype and legacy? From what I gather, everyone is excited about the specs/graphics/etc., but that wasn't even a factor of PS1 & PS2. Generation fatigue... I understand that. That's exactly why I bought Wii U on launch, but why PS4?

You know, I don't really have a problem with you wanting Final Fantasy XV on Wii U. It's nice to want things. I don't even have a problem with you refusing to buy a PS4 or Xbox One for it despite the fact that you seem so desparate for it. That's your problem. What I don't like is that you seem to want everyone else to join in on your demanding that Final Fantasy XV to come to the Wii U, when no one else has shown any strong urge for this game to come to the Wii U.

Honestly, wouldn't it be easier to simply put the game out of your mind until you finally have access to that game? I mean, I'm sure plenty of us have had games we've had to miss out on when we really wanted to play it, but usually we just say "oh well" and move on, maybe play something else that's the next best thing. Part of that moving on is to accept the reality of that situation. That's all we're trying to do here. We're trying to help you move on.

Have I ever said, "If you don't want FFXV on the Wii U, you're wrong"? No, I have simply been trying to gather supporters. I haven't been rude to anyone who wasn't rude to me. I have not bullied anyone into thinking my opinion. I have just been arguing in favor of FFXV on the Wii U.

They didn't know that when they announced FFXV for the PS4, so that can't be the true reason. It certainly doesn't help the Wii U's situation currently, but that can't be the reason.

For the record, I am starting to get over Final Fantasy XV. It wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't come to the Wii U, but I would probably get really excited if it did come.

@SCAR392 The PS, PS2, and PS3 combined sold about 330 million units. That's more than all 5 Nintendo consoles combined (excluding current gen). As lucratively as the Wii sold, it still only sold about as well as the original Playstation and nowhere remotely close to the PS2. Playstation is a powerful, powerful brand, and for good reason. They make damn good consoles that 3rd parties love throwing money at.

How exactly do you figure that?

I'm not talking about the sales specifically. Why did people want the goods themselves.

Games? Probably reason anyone buys a console. But brilliant marketing, PS1 wowing people with the 3D, and PS2 having DVD also contributed some help also I'm sure.

Which games? 3D goes to an extent, but the competition had that, too. Xbox had DVD.

Think about it @SCAR392 PS2 was cheap DVD player when it released. Xbox came year down the road from PS2. If you think DVD wasn't a big selling point for PS2 you are fooling yourself. PS1 3D blew Saturn 3D away when they showed the systems At less money. Through all this Sony had great games hit the console and built a strong brand with a large following.

PS1 at launch had Ridge Racer and that game had people hooked with the 3D graphics alone.

PS2 had games like Armored Core 2, Tekken Tag Tournament, Madden 2001, and Unreal Tournament at launch that were hook, line, sinker for a lot of people.
