Gotta agree on the idea of MOAR advertising to secure their chances.

@Trainer_DJ Yeah, giving the boot to Iwata now would be waaay too soon. Only time will tell if he can get the company running well in the long run.

@Steveovig If I had the money I would pick a Wii U before a PS3. U mad, bro?

Those forecasts are aiming a bit too high, IMO.

I bet Nintendo will have around 5-7 million Wii Us sold in total by this year's end.

@Cesco Wrong, a kajillion of gallons of blood bled due 3 failed consoles in a row is what killed the Dreamcast and Sega´s hardware division.

See, people? That's why we can't have nice things.

@Daisaku36 yeah, they're right, whoever is suggesting to drop a console that's struggling in it's first year in this site must be a motherflipping business genius . I mean, that worked so well for Sega- OH WAIT, IT DIDN'T.

PS3's first year sales: 5.5 million.
XB360's first year sales: 5.6 million.

Wii U's first 10 month sales: 3.9 million.

See a pattern in here? Yup, year 1 for consoles usually suck until the good games come around. So there's no need to panic now.

This is why Reggie is the man.

I officially declare David Jaffe as clinically insane.

@GN004Nadleeh loladhomiem.
How old are you? 12? Because that will explain the fact you put conjectures together in a ridiculous way, your dodgy thought process and your frothy nerd rage.

EDIT: wait, you're 31? 31 F-NG YEARS OLD?

your posts are utterly tragic for your age.

@GN004Nadleeh: do us a favor: put down your tinfoil hat and show proof of your statements OR grab a Scrabble game and a bottle of laxative of your choice. Shallow the Scrabble pieces with the help of said laxative and wait till you have to do a #2. Once you have done a #2, take a picture of your WC contents and post it here. Because they might do more sense than whatever you're posting right now.

@GN004Nadleeh "nintendo was only making a new controller type to ONLY fight piracy"
Wait, what? That didn't made a freaking modicum of sense.

cue shot of Wii U printing money

@Goginho Nintendo should buy Auto Modellista's rights to Capcom.

If anything, the only thing that PETA is prompting is storm one of their compounds, kidnap them, then engage in cannibalism.

Although I bet they would taste like crap.

Square Enix just shot themselves in the foot... with a rocket launcher.

Screw yo black and white, I want my Wii U in motherflipping Mango!

Oh God, not ANOTHER "sexism" article on videogames. Let alone made by people who does not know jacks-t.

Good idea... but not yet.

@DilMan33 Wrong. Capcom's downfall was caused by pandering to Western audiences way too much while burning a crapload of money in the process expecting a kajillion sales.

@Doma "lack of detail"

What are you smoking, man? Because I want it.

I didnt thought somebody could defecate bidirectionally until I read this, but EA always has way more originality on cringeworthy material than on making games

@Peach64: yeah, but the question is: who is insane/stupid enough to pay 40 bucks for a kit/roster update? WHO?

@Pachterkid
>implying devs have several years of working with the Wii U

As long as Sakamoto does not engage in characterization...

RIP Hiroshi "Mr. Motherflippin' Awesome Childhood" Yamaguchi.

Why the heck not?

@ScroogeMcLz care to elaborate?

Never thought I had to register to falcon kick the OP (and several people) off his moral high horse like Trevor did to that cow in GTA5 in that .gif, but well...

Yes, I understand some of you have kids and you don't want to screw em up by letting you watch/play M-rated games with your kids . Yeah, I might understand you might not find the GTA series entretaining for w/e reason. No biggies in that case.

No, you can't go all white knight on GTA (that's why the series is popular, mind you) and makes you look like FOX News with legs (which is embarassing). No you can't use "think of the children" excuse because that will imply you're a bad parent (the ratings are there for a reason). No, you can't label all who enjoy the series "childish and immature" because that's a strawman argument. No, you can't say "it will make people go on mass shootings" or anything, because it isn't.

Also, do you know about the concept of "anti-hero" (present from San Andreas onwards)? I mean, I didn't enjoy much playing as Claude or Tommy in missions (mainly because they are the "least" bad guys), but I could sympathize with CJ or Niko (which showed to be half-decent human beings, the latter being gradually broke as the story ran on). Oh and did you know that any of the endings of IV are mostly depressing (ain't spoiling that)?

IMO a mature story is not about blood sex, drugs or violence. No, a mature story makes you sit back and think (GTAIV, for example, is a deconstruction of the American Dream). Neither sex, blood or violence (the latter one up to an extent) is an indicator of the story tone (Mother 3, for example).

Damn it, guys. get it together. You're embarassing me not just as Nintendo fan, but as a gamer as well.
