Re: DFC Intelligence Lowers Wii U Lifetime Sales Forecast, But Supports Holiday Releases and Strategy

They sound cautious which is understandable. However with the way the market is shifting, Nintendo has an opportunity to not get stuck in the Gamecube issue again as the Wii U will be distinct enough from the Xbox1 and PS4 that its offerings will be more appealing then getting an Xbox and a Playstation.

We are seeing a wave of homogenization this generation more so then ever, which gives Nintendo the opportunity to be #2 console you purchase because there is little value in owning both an Xbox and a playstation this round.

Re: Poll: As the PS4 Arrives, What Do You Think of the 'New Gen' Environment for Wii U?

@allplatfrmgamer Perhaps i didnt make my point clear enough ,if not my apologies. In my Mind there is two groups, the main one(the one everyone is concerned about) is currently: PC,PS4,and Xbox one and are all competing against each other due to their absurd amount of similarities to each other. Because they are so close with such similarities this means you can for the most part consider them the same thing. This gives a LARGE drop in marginal utility because you get very little satisfaction purchasing another in the same category, thus are most likely only going to have one of the three.

This puts Wii U out in its own land not competing on the same points and if done right should come off as an attractive second console purchase as it offers the most if you already own one of the other systems.

If you ask me Nintendo's goal should actually be to not compete with Xbox and PS4 in terms of similar features. PS4 and Xbox are so absurdly similar this round that at this rate one is bound to die out or at the very least repurpose itself. Nintendo needs to be seen as the 2nd Console purchase you make because the other console doesn't offer enough exclusives and build themselves into a niche position. In all seriousness the most cost effective way to get the most games is either PC + Wii U or PS4 + Wii U.

@Yukari_Sendo This is as good of a spot that your going to get to jump in. May I make a suggestion of watching some of those If insert game was a movie things on youtube to fill in the story gaps if you dont plan on playing them.

Re: Parent Trap: Helping Newcomers Start Playing Pokémon, Zelda and Metroid

@Bass_X0 I think we are still a little early for that. I grew up with Pokemon right at that time (i was 6 when it came out). I imagine most of those who played pokemon from that time where 6-10 which would put them in to their mid 20's. Most people dont have kids early these days so if they do have a child its most likely in the toddler range at most.

Another 5 years and we will be there.

Re: EA: Being Voted The Worst Company In America Was "A Wake Up Call"

Warruz

@mookysam Here is the thing. Worst Company of the year is based off of popular votes and not many people deal with all those that you listed directly so you wont associate their terribleness to them. Another factor to consider is all those that you listed are in industries we have come to expect such crappy behavior so we are numb to it.

Re: Phantasm Studios Seeks To Resurrect Ghosts 'N Goblins With Or Without Capcom's Blessing

You only learn latter in the video that they will pull a "same game different characters" move if capcom does not approve.

I swear after i keep seeing more and more of these kickstarters that a small marketing consulting firm would do great focused on Indie Games. I just always feel that something is missing or information that should be right in your face is hidden and doesnt build confidence in actually supporting a project.

Re: Feature: Where Is Your Wii Balance Board?

Warruz

Its in the cabinet downstairs. My dad purchased it and we used it for a little while but my god is that things slippery to use, really needs a rubber layer over it for grip.

Its still in said cabinet and i have since moved out and doing p90X instead

Re: Eiji Aonuma Explains Why The Legend of Zelda Isn't a Yearly Franchise

@Dogpigfish They are fine games but they are not the best of the series is the point. All those i have listed have for the most part scored lower and have received not as great reviews when the "B" team did the work.

COD 1 - 91
COD 2 -86
COD 3- 82
COD 4 - 92
COD:WaW - 83
COD:MW2 - 86
COD:BO- 81

You see where i am going with this. When you have two teams there is always a B team and can you guess which ones of the list Infinity ward didnt work on? If you guessed all the ones at have an 83 or below you would be correct (it gets worse if you keep going). Not only does it show a general trend down with such frequent releases but it also shows when which team worked on what and that the B team didnt deliver as good of a game.
