There isn't a may to it, at least not for me. I like Nintendo but I love Sony. So as such I will be getting the Wii U AND PS4. I own a Wii and PS3. 3DS and Vita.
I buy Nintendo products for Nintendo games and I buy PlayStation products for PlayStation games and third party. I never buy third party games on Nintendo console (handhelds are another story), I prefer playing with the PlayStation controller. Not saying Nintendo controllers are lame, I just love the PlayStation controller design and feel. It's constant and rarely changes (even the PS4 controller is pretty much the same)
I was never aware this was a new thing. Most gamers own all three or buy Sony and Nintendo products both.
Good lord the fanboyism in here is hilarious. The Vita and the 3DS are amazing handhelds, funny how whenever an Nintendo product is failing, everyone rushes to defend it to the death saying "Just wait for Nintendo first party titles", at the same time bashing the Vita and a system that isn't even out yet (PS4).
The Vita is a great handheld, I have origins on my Vita and love it to death. Also that "Vita has no games is old", Vita's library is mostly on psn, it sometimes may have physical copies as well. I have more Vita games than I do 3DS games.
Do any of you even own a Vita ? There's a difference between being a fanboy and having a preference, having a preference means being neutral towards other competitors and not bashing them. I own PlayStation and Nintendo products, but prefer PlayStation for it's impact and experience it has on me, and Nintendo Products for it's fun gameplay and style.
If you think the Vita is a failure, then so to is the Wii U, as they are in the same boat (as other level-headed gamers have said). Also let's not pretend the 3DS had a stellar start up.
Wow so you guys are bashing the Vita, because a company decided to advertise the product on a Amazon page for Nintendo products.
Amazon sells GAMING Products and Hardware etc etc. Vita is a GAMING Handheld why wouldn't it be recommended ? Hell it recommends 3DS games and XL to me when I buy Vita stuff and vice-versa.
Not everyone is a fanboy. A lot of people buy from all three companies (including me).
The point of being a Game Journalist/Reviewer and all that is to report news, good or bad. You're not just supposed to report good news and ignore the bad, just because it's your company you're loyal to. I also find it weird how some people religiously praise their own company and bash other companies. Why ? That goes for any fan-base. Sony, Nintendo Etc.
When the PS3 had a slow start, everyone wished for its death and said it's going to flop, now the Wii U is in the same situation suddenly it's "Give Nintendo/WiiU time it just came out a few months ago". Now you know how Vita users feel.
That said I'd be worried about my game not selling well also. However Nintendo warned people time and time again that the system will cater to everyone this time around, and their ads reflect this.
I own a Vita and 3DS, so I get the best of both worlds.
This game does look interesting however.
I'm also glad for the excuse they gave, rather than just admitting they don't want to have to redo the entire game to take advantage of the Vita's system designs.
Actually it's not a Zelda clone, at least not in the way you think.
The only way it's like Zelda , is One of the bosses is a giant worm. That and you have dungeons, which like Zelda, there's a new item that is crucial to beat the boss.
It actually copies God of War and Uncharted, and Devil May Cry throughout the whole game. Zelda is an afterthought.
Darksiders 2, is nothing like Zelda, it copies Prince of Persia and Diablo, nothing Zelda in there.
No person calls themselves a Gamer and has loyalty to one company. We play Games despite the system that they are on, we don't play games BECAUSE of the system they are on.
We don't know what was in the contract so, we can only assume and speculate, as a few of the others have been saying.
Or maybe the game is more of a, "it may not be your kind of game sort of thing" ?
Just because the majority likes a game and praises it doesn't mean everyone else should go along with it, that's called not being able to think for yourself.
The fact that people let reviews scores get to them is a bit weird. (Unless you're a Game Developer or Publisher)
It's good to see PS3 and 3ds are selling well in Japan. If only people would buy the Vita more, it's so much fun, just wish Sony would support it more.
I don't think Sony will copy the game-pad for the main controller, I hope and think they will stick to the traditional Dual-shock (If it aint broken, don't fix it, and I freaking love that thing). Now as a secondary optional controller I can see them copying Nintendo like the Move.
As for the next system, I look forward to what Sony has to offer, I enjoy both Nintendo and Sony Consoles (Excluding the Wii...sorta).
Jack is a business man first, but he's still a person at the end of the day. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually owned a lot of the Nintendo and Microsoft products.
@Mike1, How is he full of crap ? A lot of people were surprised by the Wii's success even Nintendo was.
Is it seriously enough to call a little kid stupid or an idiot ?
Wow the irony of some of the comments. He's a kid, do you honestly think he cares about any of the stuff you just said about " OMG the graphics"
The fact that the kid got a handheld that is very rare and was only in production for a hot second is quite good despite him being wrong about the 3DS being outdated.
He's a kid he only cares about playing games, I'm sure he could careless about uber graphics and features.
I won't condone piracy never will, either way it's wrong.
Yet for the love of god stop (not directed at the author of the article but the comments) saying piracy is hurting Nintendo really ? When ? Please link me to an article (a recent) that says Nintendo is hurting and losing tons of money because of piracy.
If I remember correctly Nintendo is doing a hell of a lot better lately.
Anyway it's a smart move on Nintendo's part business/self interest wise.
I love both Nintendo and Sony equally, both have a ton of games to offer.
What a company says to irk the competition isn't any surprise, the fact that fanboys are getting their pants in a bind only means what Sony said is working.
It's called psychologically teasing the competition to annoy them and get them to retaliate, Nintendo does it all the time, stop getting butthurt when another company does it to them.

Yeah I see no point in getting a Wii U until Wind Waker HD and Mario come out. I'll stick with my PS3 until then.

Really hope Nintendo doesn't buy Vigill, I do however hope Platinum Games does and they're not just joking.
