@GamerJunkie "If 5 million smart people buy the steam version even at $1, thats $5 Million, and only 50,000 people buy the Wii U one x $10 = $500k profit only on the Wii U version."
How about a fair comparison?
50,000 buy for PC = $50,000 50,000 buy for Wii U = $500,000
You can't compare shifting 5 million units to shifting 50k.
For years, if you wanted to play Smash Bros., you had to have Nintendo's home console. You couldn't play it on the Game Boy, GBA, or DS. 3DS owners are not entitled to have their own version, especially if it limits the console version...
I never really felt the Gamecube needed saving. I knew at least 10 people who had one in my social circle. I only know one other person who has a Wii U in my STATE.
? The lack of same-sex marriage in a game isn't wrong. The developers are allowed to choose whats in their game. Your reasoning is just as valid as saying i can't be african-american in Pokemon.
@hydeks Maybe they say 'No biggie' because, as you might have noticed, their best games were exclusive to a Sonystation. Why would Nintendo fans care if a company decided to keep not making their games on a Nintendo system?
Since when does "might have been a factor" and "is to blame" mean the same thing? The officer CLEARLY wasn't saying that by playing this video game, he was going to attempt to kill someone.
I don't like how most gamers deny the idea violent or negative videogames can be offensive or influence people. Just because something doesn't happen in reality doesn't mean it has no effect on people.
