Again I'm sooooo sick of hearing about the NX and peoples fantasies about it. Seriously, gamers are so spoilt nowadays. Gaming industry is becoming boring now and the genres are getting limited.
@shigulicious no not really and why should I? It's just the same multiplayer experience as the other Call of Duty games with a different skin. No matter how much new stuff they add in, it's still the same. The campaign I don't really care about either. I prefer to play shooter games like Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare because it's different and you feel like part of a team. MAG - now that was an awesome online FPS game as you felt part of the family and everyone respected each other.
What can i say? The British just love dull shooters and sports. It's the same everywhere in western countries. The Japanese must be laughing at us in stupidity taste in games like Black Ops 3.
Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but been looking at this site everyday. Great news with Nintendo. Wish it could be the the same for the rest of the world but, no, they just like realistic shooters, hack and slash and sports. The problem with this generation is the games are mainly remasters sequels and reboots - this applies to all three consoles. "Ooooooh look how realistic and gorgeous it is" is the theme for this gen. Overall there is no doubt it will get better in the future but at the moment it's been a little disappointing - not saying it's bad at as there are plenty of awesome games like Witcher 3 and Fallout 4, then again, it's the 8th gen and would like to see more new innovative titles like for example, Splatoon, Ori and the Black Forest and Tearaway unfolded (I know it's a remastered vita game, however, it's the only PS4 game that fully utilised the dual shock 4). I still think the PS2 is king of the Sony PlayStation franchise with that amazing library. I applaud Nintendo for bringing out as Splatoon as a innovative fun shooter - I haven't bought it yet because it's a little out of my price range. Same with Mario Maker. Might get them during stocktake sales.
My PS4 hardly gets used because there are no great games at the moment and I feel that I have wasted money on this machine. I wonder why PS4 sells so quickly?
Stupid Brits don't know what is a good game. Sad, really! By the way, Amiibo are selling like hot cakes here in Australia which is fantastic news! This country also has bad tastes in games as well!
I'm not surprised to see COD Advanced Warfare is number one. People love their cut and paste FPS. Sheesh! Anyway fantastic to see SSB4 in the top 3. Go Nintendo!
@Savino of course it's Nintendo's fault (but it's also the person's fault for being close-minded)! They really need to up the ante on the marketing. PS4 and Xbox One first party exclusive games aren't as top quality as Nintendo's but because they (Sony and Microsoft) have excellent marketing, they are selling better.
My favourite PS4 game is Don't Starve, an indie game 😂 and Max: the Curse of Brotherhood on the Xbox One, another indie game 😂. As we all know on here, third party drives the support for those two consoles and there is nothing really special with them at the moment but, as I said, it all comes down to great marketing and hype.
I'm just wondering if people are avoiding the Wii U because they don't want to be weak. For example, at school a kid says "I got a PS4" gets wowed then a kid gets bullied and laughed at by when says "I got a Wii U". Gamers nowadays... SHEESH!! What makes me SO annoyed is when I asked people if they own a Wii U and they reply "No! I'm too old to play that console" People need to learn that Wii U is a not a console for kids, but a console for ALL AGES that is kid-friendly. Nintendo really needs to turn up their image a notch. They really need excellent marketing to show that the Wii U is a MUST HAVE console! It's never too late.
So sick of all this negative Bulls..t! I love my Wii U. I think it's an excellent console. Better than the other two in terms of fun games. Sadly the world have lost their taste in great games and now crave big AAA blockbusters. I just wish people have open minds like they used to. You noticed there are mainly first person shooters and sports games on the PS4 and Xbox One - nothing new. Nintendo needs to up the ante on their image if they want to get more customers.
Really sad that Wii U is getting bad sale numbers. PS4 is selling well even when there are not many interesting games on it at the moment. The new 3DS LL is being a beast though so congrats to Nintendo - If only they could find a way to bump those Wii U numbers up.
I don't care! Haven't played a Resident Evil Game since RE:4. and I didn't like RE 5. It's more action based than survival horror. Other systems get this rubbish game, we get Project Zero/Fatal Frame 5...we hope
Pfffft!!! COD is the most overrated piece of crap EVER!!!! I don't give a damn about this. I feel sorry for the Wii U owners who wanted to play this though but...if you really want to just play FPS games and nothing else, buy a playstation or Xbox instead. Seriously, I don't find FPS games that fun.
Got it for my PS3 free from the PS+ and here's the best description for it: Silent Hill 1 (which is my favourite one in the series) in 2D. Might buy it if they enhance the gameplay experience on the gamepad.
Well IT IS a console for all ages. Do you really think parents would allow their kids to see something inappropriate? It could ruin Nintendo's reputation.
I already got The Last of Us so I'm not going to buy it again, despite how great the graphics. I play for gameplay only! It's stupid and sad how 50% of PS4 users never bought a PS3. I mean there are lots of great games on the PS3 and I even play it more than my PS4.
@Gamer83 I totally agree! It is VERY indeed pathetic that all three fan groups can't respect each other. The PS2-Xbox-GameCube era weren't too bad but it's the Xbox 360-PS3-Wii generation when things started to become really serious. Console wars is really silly.
@Gamer83 Hahaha I was expecting you to say that and I respect and agree with your judgement up to a point. Yes! Nintendo have fans that say horrible things about the PS4 and Xbox One but they are NOWHERE NEAR as bad as what Sony and Microsoft fans say about Nintendo.
Also Nintendo has been around in the gaming industry for more than 30 years so of course there are going to be faithfully loyal fans that don't care about the other two.
I've been doing quite a bit of research into this, looking at websites like this, IGN, GameSpot, Wii U Daily etc. Nintendo gamers are open minded to other consoles. From what I've seen, I don't see as many Nintendo fans saying "PS4 sucks" or "Xbox One sucks" than Sony and Microsoft fans saying "Wii U is a kiddie console". I've been seeing alot of Nintendo fans saying "I might plan to get an Xbox One/PS4 in the future"
Did you know Nintendo were first founded in 1889 as a playing card company? Amazing how they have survived and advanced for this long.
@Gamer83 Hey! I completely respect Sony and Microsoft! I own a PS4 and Xbox One - they are laid side by side with my Wii U like soul mates. It's just their fans are snobby and biased towards Nintendo which I really dislike!
He is sooooo right about the industry being obsessed with military shooters! Shuhei Yoshida is an amazing person who I really respect. It's a pity Sony fans are so ignorant nowadays.
I wish I can buy the Wii U version but the Xbox One got to me first since it was free for gold members. The controls are a bit annoying for example, getting chased by this huge creature and some how I grab on to the wall automatically slowing me down. Another annoying thing is when I jump then try to do the uppercut, I headbutt instead. Yeah the controls can be a pain.
Oh PLEASE! I way prefer playing on my 3ds than on a ipadsmartphone. I don't like using touch screen controls to move around. Most of the games are on the mobile are not very good (with a few exceptions) anyway!
Anyone noticed in the total sales of many Nintendo 3ds games are in the millions whereas most of Sony games in all of their platforms are in the thousands? Very impressive, Nintendo!
If only third party devs aren't so lazy giving the Wii U runned down versions. Mostly I buy Wii U exclusives and games that involve the gamepad as a map. I actually have more exclusives on my Wii U than my PS3.
I finally bought a ps4. I was super excited when I turned it on but I was quite disappointed after playing with it for a while. The game downloads take longer than my PS3. It was only less than 3 gigabytes and it took 2 hours. My Wii U would take an hour to finish. I don't know what's wrong as they're all using the same wifi connection. I thought the PS4 would be the fastest since it's more powerful but that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't find anything special about the PS4...yet so I still favor my PS3. PS2 is still king of the Sony consoles.
I absolutely agree with Reggie. Have you seen videos of people playing games on PS3 and Xbox 360 and you hear these little kids on their mics as young as 5 swearing so much? It's shocking!

Seriously I think it's the parents that are buying the Xbox One for their spoilt little kids who want to be coolest in class.
People are afraid to buy the Wii U because they worried they'll be wimps.
