Who plays Minecraft on consoles to begin with ? i mean, the game runs on any PC from the last 10 years, at least ! and its WAY chepear on PC than consoles, not to mention that it gets A LOT more updates and its all about mods

And to say that Sony has the money to waste, its just plain wrong, Sony its been bleeding money all over them, their stocks has been falling ever since 2000, In fact, the PS4 reveal hit them with another fall, 3% (And Nintendo rose 3% but i dont know why actually)

They finally started to get things right, like with their Xperia smartphone division (i own the Xperia S, awesome smartphone btw), but its a loooong way since they can finally get into a decent economy

Sony has been in big, big problems since the 90s, so no, they dont have the amount of money you think they have, last year they hit their lowest stock price since... 1984!!!!!

So Lopezdm, if youre saying that hardcore gamers are the ones that buy and spend thousand upon thousands of dollars on real gaming machines and hardcore games, explain to me, WHY DOES THE VITA its not selling at all, its the pinacle of hardcore gaming on the go, everyone should be mad about it, but they are not...

To me, Nintendo always had problems with third party at least since the N64 days, but the real problem its not the console itself or the games because power has never been the real problem (N64 and GC were better in tech, yet they failed), its some kind of paradigm about Nintendo and childish play,, and in this day and age where feeling like a "grown up" and call yourself a "hardcore" gamer its so important, because you know, being a "hardcore gamer" makes you better in life, playing nintendo games its bound to make you fail in life, if you search you can find lots of so called "hardcore" games, that they are not Millitary FPS its not nintendo's problem

I own a PS3, Wii, WiiU, a damn awesome PC and soon to get a PS4 (25 years old, working and i dont have a family yet, money its not an issue to me at least) am i a hardcore gamer ? you can say so, but to me, im just a guy that likes gaming, i can have fun playing a Wii game (like i did A LOT of times) and with a PS3/PC game.

Like i said i blame that paradigm over nintendo about the games (and the name itself, god what an awful name its "Wii", WiiU for some reason, while a bad name, its not AS BAD)

@Lopezdm thats why Sony launched Move/Wonderbook and MS Kinect crap, because hardcore gamers like those kind of games because they are hardcore lol

I like what i saw of the PS4, but i still have my doubts about it, gaming on consoles its not about graphics (and never has for all that matters) its about accesibility and the "easy of play", that social-media its taking a center point on current consoles shows that just better graphics wont do the cut, nowadays you can grab a PC with even better graphics than a PS4 for about the same price (and PCs can do A LOT more things), the WiiU took that and a made a step further by adding the gamepad (wich i LOVE...)

The problem, games... Killzone looks awesome and i love Infamous (one of my fav PS3 games btw), but theres nothing "mind-blowing", just like the WiiU launch, and justify the purchase of a new console its hard when games comes to old and next gen for about a year

I dont care about graphics, thats why i have my PC, i care about the console itself and what can add to gaming, if they keep doing more and more with the social part of gaming ill gladly get a PS4 and put it right next to my PC and WiiU (and 3DSXL for all that matters...)

And no microsoft, why ? because 1 good exclusive (gears of war, i just dont like halo, do not hate me) doesnt compare to the millions of great exclusives Nintendo/Sony has, period

@rjejr They announced this game at a US Nintendo Direct, that means this games ITS coming "soon" (when its finished)

XENOBLAAAAADE !!! SOMEBODY HOLD ME IM FALLING !!!(theres no XENOBLADE TOPIC)

XENOBLAAAADE IN HD !!!!!

OMG MONOLITH

Wind Waker HD !!!!!

OMG in E3 ? !!!

BEST.GAME.EVER

Miiverse on my S3

I really dont like the idea of repurchase, but its 1 dollar and im pretty sure youll be able to play them on the WiiU Gamepad, thats enough for me

Iwata sooo classy =)

Im from Chile lol

@Rayword45 Quite short ? the game takes around 10-12 hours to complete and thats on normal difficulty, and around 20-25 to complete the Raid Mode and more if you like Co-Op

Put it another run on the campaing on hell (around 12 hours) and you got at least 40-50 good hours in, and even if you just play the campaing once, you get around 12 hours, compared to how short (and more expensive) are game nowadays, this game its not short at all

I have more than 60 hours, getting S rank on all Raid Missions, and playing coop for fun

In my opinion, one of the best RE games ever, top 3 if you ask me and one of the best 3DS games, and if they give me some WiiU-3DS connect im pretty sure i could buy this game all over again, so im happy that Console owners could get a good RE game for once

But... isnt 49.99 a little too much ? 39.99 or maybe 34.99 could have been a great deal, i mean the game is great like i said and in terms of content its worth it, but its still the port of a handheld game, and that doesnt sound NOWHERE good for console owners, in my opinion

Anyway, people hate on RE6, but forgets that RE5 was just as bad...

I always said that the 3DS eShop was a huge factor for me and it is !

Great news ! Gunman Clive its such a great game even thou i finished a long time ago, i still play it from time to time

Now thats awesome, i just want this to come out, cant wait anymore, a propper Castlevania

Anyway, it was a given that there was going to be a MH game on Vita, so im more for the idea of a 3DS release than a year later a MH4 "upgraded" version coming to the Vita (and i put upgraded in quotations because Capcom upgrades should not be called upgrades at all...)

And Gamelab has always been a hit or miss on the rumours (more miss than hits actually) like Oregano said DQIX was a PSP game... according to GameLab

Ill take this with a LOT OF SALT i mean, they are saying that theres going to be a "simultaneously" release with the PSVita, but we still have yet to see a SINGLE screen of the game or even running on a Vita... and why is this all of a sudden a Vita port since Nintendo/Capcom said the game was exclusive

This may be right but it will be just like the RE4 situation, exclusive for a year or so

Im not against a Vita port, not at all... but this sounds really REALLY weird

a new report says that the new xbox uses a 6670HD custom, this (somewhat) is what i expected, a new console with just a modest upgrade, not the real deal like the last-current gen leap was... maybe REAL 1080p resolution and not just upscaling a sub-HD format, maybe with proper frame rates too
We are actually hitting a wall here, diminishing returns its the name of the game now at least for consoles, if they want to keep the price down but also make a decent upgrade theres not much room to work with, and nor Nintendo, MS and Sony are in the position to try to force a new "situation" now.

The ointeresting part of the article, its that the next xbox (if rumors are true) its using the same base architecture (HD 6670) as the WiiU and the difference will be based on the "custom" part, that could actually means that the REAL problem with the WiiU graphics games its

A) Ports or B) Gamepad wich should take quite a bit of power out of the system to actually stream the game to it

So i would just wait before making any real statement, but it seems that the WiiU was never really THAT "underpowered" compared to the next systems as some say, and that would mean that the PS4/720 would be priced something along the 350-450 price tag... Mostly because if you want to make a huge leap without actually selling at a HUGE loss you would have to sell it around the 500-550 price tag, and in this times i dont know if any its willing to pay that

Just my 2 cents

Synergy, the world needs more synergy and this is what Nintendo its doing...

No games no sell, simple as that

Anyway, besides what i wrote, will somebody please wait at least 12-18 months before all the doom stuff? I still remember when Zune was ging to crush the iPod, Betamax was the future, the bluray was going to fail so hard, when the iPhone was never going to get any mass support, the vita was going to crush the 3DS and the Smartphone gaming market was just "temporary" and there thousands of other examples...

Give it time, patience is a virtue

I do have to say that this generation (3DS and WiiU) Nintendo didnt know what to do with their launch games... if history is any indication YOU LAUNCH YOUR CONSOLE WITH A PROPER FIRST PARTY TITLE...

While NSBU looks great (havent played), if you want to get the so called "hardcore games" (god i hate the term...) you need to launch with a Zelda, Metroid even a Star Fox game... a Mario game its pretty damn awesome (and popular for all that matters), but i would have expect a 3D Mario ala Galaxy something that showed what Nintendo guys could do with a proper HD console, or maybe NSMBU but with another Nintendo first party, like the ones i said before... I do have to say however, that PS3 and 360 launch were just as barren and awful (my 360 gather dust until GoW, a year after the console launched, god that launch "window" was butt...) and Nintendo need it to realize that. thats why they had hard times when they released (sum that to the 600$ price tag of the PS3 and you have one of the worst launches ever...)

Nintendo didnt set the world on fire at the WiiU Launch (its, in my opinion, the best Nintendo console since the SNES), and thats their fault...

Lol 50m in 3 years its great, its far more than the GC/N64 and that alone should keep Nintendo in a happy position... i mean, some were expecting WiiU to be the new GC

And no, the Wii sold 100m in just 5 years, im pretty sure no console would top that soon, PS3 and 360 just hit the 75-77m wich are great numbers, the Wii was just a dream come true for nintendo (just like the DS) and was the beast of the beasts

Serously someone its going to download Hello Kitty ? lol what a troll

WiiU power its based on the GPU (just like every gaming PC should be), sure the CPU could not be a full powerhouse i7 @4ghz, but it doesnt need to be, if you have a certain amount of money YOU MUST put at least 70% on the GPU and the rest on the CPU, the benefits of a better CPU are marginal compared to a better GPU...

And thats what gives me hope that we could actually see WiiU along the new consoles with Sony and Microsoft (the other reason its im pretty sure after thi generation, they will go for a modest upgrade, not even close to last-this generation) when companies start to take full knowledge of the console itself im pretty sure we will see some great looking games. Or maybe we see the wall, but streaming a game to 2 screens and keeping great performance and graphics at the same time, should be more than enough proof that the console its really powerful

PD: do not read any 4A comments, they just dont know how to optimize a game unless its a super computer

DOOOOOOOMED !!!

Thats... dissapointing, but really not a "big" surprise, not because it would "bomb" but because LS2 its a sequel, and if you didnt play the first one you (mostly) would not play the sequel, because it contiues the (bad) story of Lord of Shadows... it wasnt like ME3 since DarkHorse actually made a comic to see (and choose) what happened on ME1/2

Anyway, at least my 3DS its getting the "real" Castlevania, but i wonder this decision, i mean it should be the perfect tie for Mirrors of Fate

And one more thing... CPUs doesnt really do much on games, GPU its far more important, while games could need a good CPU, the benefits from having a better GPU are much higher, like someone said, if you have a 100% PC --> 70-80% on GPU and 30-20% on CPU its much MUCH better than 50-50, and thats what the WiiU its all about, sure the new PS/XB SHOULD be better (but im pretty sure the difference will be a lot less than last generation one, to the point im pretty sure we will see the same games on WiiU and next PS/XB, economy isnt on the bright side nowadays)

and please never again quote 4A talking about power, they just sucks at optimizing games, Metro 2033 was a great game, but you need a NASA PC just to make it "barely playable", let alone the 360 version... oh god those textures, >_> and metro wasnt the only game they have problems with, Stalker (awesome game) was a awful optimized game too

@hydeks and i laugh at PSfans and Xboxfans that are getting the way inferior versions at 60 dollars, when i pay 50 for a MUCH BETTER one on PC, lol

I LOL when someone cries about WiiU power not being next-get, but they just play on 360/PS3.... seriously, if you want to cry about graphics GET A PC not a console, thats not what they are for

Will play it on my PC but.... who cares, Crysis died with Crysis 2, what load of crap was that game, i have NO hope for this game, when Crysis went CoD, the series died...

Crysis 1 its one of my favorites games ever, i could not even finish Crysis 2, let alone even play 2 matches of the MP

Actually, thats bound to happen imo, i mean... im pretty sure there wont be another console that would "fly-off shelf" like the Wii did, different times, economy while not in a awful shape, its definitely in a "not-so-good".

People need another reason to buy a console than "new fancy graphics", actually they can get those (and better) at the same price if they buy a PC, and PC can be used for A LOT more things, Tablet/Smartphones storm the market because they could do a lot of things at once, play games, web, etc... at a great price, not just play games and stream some movies, TVii its definitely a step in the right direction thou , but they need more... and they need A GOOD PRICE

@Azikira Steam is a rare beast actually, you think WiiU sales are bad ? What about XBL with sales of 50% of a game that was released like 5 years ago ? (no kidding)

Stea its the only one doing "real" sales actually...

They are worried about the 3DS piracy, yet they put MM on PC and iOS, yep, that makes PERFECT SENSE

Shibata and Iwata are great Presidents =) Reggie... while fun, i dont like him THAT much, Iwata and Shibata are so classy !!!

Nice =) So the "have it your own way" eShop mantra its working, great deals for those games... ill take Trine 2 for 15 everyday.

BIT.TRIP.SAGA for 15 ? that seems like an awesome deal !! but will save those 30 on my 3DS if a "Christmas deal" comes in...

New Super Mario Souls...

No MegaMan Soccer ?? lolololol worst spin-off ever hahahaha i still remember that crappy SNES game

I liked RE6, but mostly because 5 was such a bad game so i wasnt expecting that much...Revelations its the real RE game imo

I loved Metro 2033 one of the finest games of this generation but.... 4A its such a bad developer when its about optimization (they worked on the STALKER games too), 2033 was one of the worst optimized games EVER (yeah, that counts Crysis and GTA4 PC), you need a NASA PC to actually put SOME AA/AF in it... let alone extreme shadows, god what an awful optimization, the 360 version was even worse, awful graphics and frame rates. I was amazed by how 4A manage to get a game with such poor FPS and graphics, blows my mind

its a loss for WiiU, but this games NEEDS to be played on PC, and not because the superior graphics and all that stuff, but (imn pretty sure) you will need an amazing PC just to get it run "decent".

@Spartacus3765 "I think my main concern was the delay on pikmin 3 which first started as a near launch title" then you, my friend, youre the only one that thinks that Pikmin 3 was going to be a console launch window game...

In fact... what company doesnt delay their games ? i preffer a delayed game than a bad one...
