I wish Nintendo were more serious about hardware like the other two are. So far my Wii U is being used when the other two can't be. I just hope Ninty went the powerhouse way instead of second screen. With a one year head start they would have blown MS and Sony away sales wise. Everybody knows that powerful systems get their attention these days ( I mean look how well are PS4 and XO selling). Anyway, no matter what will happen to Wii U, I hope Nintendo will learn from their mistakes and sooner or later will release a monster system that will attract third parties and sell like hotcakes.
I've got both PS4 and Wii U. XO on the way. Leap over Wii U is big but it's not as big as I thought. Graphics are better, but they don't make me want to abandon Nintendo's system. Can't wait to play Mario 3DW and Donkey Kong TF.
If only Nintendo had have listened to us gamers, avoided innovation and went for tech specs instead... With a one year head start over ps4/XO they would have been nr one popular in the market. Yet again their so called "innovation" has led them to a third least popular position. So the original Wii was a success sales wise, but everybody knows that thing was gathering dust at almost every owners house only weeks after it was bought
So I recently bought PS4. I'm at the end of COD Ghosts. Then I'll whack thru Killzone SF and then I'll get back to my Wii U since there's nothing else left what I want to play on PS4. Most gamers who just picked up next gen systems will soon be crying "where are the games?!!!". LOL
I'm still very much busy with epic mickey 2 and batman arkham origins. Though I'm only interested in physical copies (most often cheaper and i love to hold game in my arms)
Wii U would sell like hot cakes but the problem is that it's not for sale at most retailers. If I want one, there's only Argos or ToysRus, or GAME that still sell the console and it's games. None of others
Did anyone see comparison video? Wii U version looks better than 360 or PS3. Details sharper. It may not look as good as PS4 one but certainly a good looking game on Wii U. My biggest problem is that Wii U version is very hard to find to buy. No wonder all other versions are outselling
It's not just Poland, but entire Eastern Europe is unfamiliar with anything Nintendo, not even DS family. Console market there is very unpopular. Almost every gamer plays pirated games on PCs and some on 360s. Not many out there can afford console games due to their high price. You can get a bunch of PC games (mainly illegal copies) for that price. Here in UK I can afford a Wii U console and a couple of games for a weeks payment, there I could only afford a game for a weeks payment. Big difference huh? Plus, Nintendo is avoiding Eastern Europe. No marketing there at all.
EA are too much of a**holes to publish for Nintendo. It's not gonna happen. Though poor Brazilians would not even be able to afford Wii U at such a high price (around £512). Bloody mad!!!
Nintendo are advertising Wii U? I haven't seen Wii U console or it's games for sale in any of the biggest UK supermarkets. The only thing they advertise on TV and Radio is 3DS family and look how good is that thing doing...
Nice one!!! Wii U is getting some descent games this holiday season. Deus Ex, Batman A.O., COD Ghosts, Mario 3D World, AC Black Flag,... All looking good
@michaeldove Sega would never have enough cash to buy Nintendo. EA would neither. Nintendo though should join with Sega instead as partners. EA are too cocky to join Nintendo . Disney would have enough cash to buy Ninty but they would rather capture larger audience buy developing games for every platform than just one or two. Sega in other hand are very good friends with ninty and they used to develop hardware, so the union of them two would be ideal i think
@sinalefa Get it preordered from nearest store then. What if your wiiu breaks down? You'll loose all your info with it. Physical is the only way for me. Plus i love to see a stack of games in the shelf
@sinalefa Your download version will most likely cost you a lot more than physical version since eshop is overpriced silly. Don't fall for the size trick and get physical instead for around $50
Why not just get physical copy? They cost less (mine cost me £24 to pre-order) than digital and use next to nothing of memory to save data. Who wants to wait forever for a download and pay much more? E-shop isn't a place to get bargainsis it?
sony just shows they have lack of ideas to create unique features of their own. Who on earth would use vita to play ps4 games anyway? What a load of crap!!! Nintendo comes up with wii, ps move and kinect appears, Nintendo comes up with wiiu, smartglass and ps4/vita cross play shows up. pffff. I'll buy ps4 but i ain't gonna play it's games via vita
Wii u should sell very good in Japan then. They won't be getting ps4 or xb1 until 2014. Soon mario 3d world will be out and wii u will be way ahead of where it is now
I have to admit, I've bought mine mainly because of wind waker HD. But now I'm looking forward to much more on it. Donkey kong, Mario 3d world, batman arkham origins, deus ex, monolith's X project thing... All looking good innit?
pre-ordered this game and Donkey Kong yesterday. Glad to see Nintendo are putting a lot of effort into this game. At the moment I'm so enjoying Zelda W.W. HD
@Salnax What choice do they have? There are three gaming giants in this world: two Japanese and one American. If gamers are gonna buy a console, they'll have to make a choice out of those three or play on PC.
Never doubted that Wii U can push graphics further than ps3. I mean just look at ZombiU. That game looks so realistic. Simply WOW. And that is a launch game. We all know launch games are half as good looking as what systems can do
Wii U price drop, Mario 3D world, Zelda WW HD, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country 2, Bayonetta 2... Those could be a start to massive sales. Though Nintendo needs to advertise the system. God knows there are more people in this world who do not know anything about Wii U than those who do..
NINTENDO IS DOING POOR JOB ADVERTISING WIIU OUTSIDE UK AND US AND JAPAN. NO SURPRISE CONSOLE IS NOT POPULAR ELSWHERE. I LOVE MINE, BUT IT'S A SHAME EUROPE IS SO UNFAMILIAR WITH IT
couldn't agree more with article. The only Nintendo own games are Mario or Zelda or Donkey Kong type. They might be very popular but not something for grown up audience. Exclusive games like Last of us, Gears of war, Uncharted, Killzone, God of war, Halo... are what gamers go mad about on other systems. Nintendo need to have exclusives to attract adult gamers. And I'm talking first party titles.
