Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mixed Week With Wii U Third-Party Support

@rjejr the 3ds succeeded not because lack of competion from vita but because it was an attractive product with great software and it was priced competitively if NINTENDO are able to re-create that situation with Wiiu (and both cases are spookily similar) then the consumer wont care about the competition they will only think one thing "should i buy a Wiiu based on the games available and price" they will probably say yes if NINTENDO get it right.
The whole Wiiu has more competition than 3ds angle is inherently flawed look at the 360/PS3 situation they are near identical and they haven't cannabalised each other's sales the vita didn't fail because of 3ds it is failing because it isnt an attractive product to the mass consumer like the PSP was to an extent the DS sold 150mil units and yet the PSP sold a very nice 70mil people by your analogy the PSP would have sold barely anything just because its rival sold a lot more.

@Lin1876 "nothing to do with" are you serious they made the damn games. That would be like if you wrote the script for a tv show and then i pinched it and recited it verbatum on youtube and made money off of it. Some people might watch these lets play videos and might not buy the game because they have seen everything in it dont you think they should make back some of those lost profits and that aint a question they should. Good on em there totally within there rights to do this.

Erm.. the guy's who run NINTENDO's foreign division's are always puppets serving there Japanese masters its always been like this, so this move doesn't really mean much Reggie is at best a spokesperson for NINTENDO always will be he has never had any real power im not criticizing him i agree with this model Iwata and myamoto are the idea guys but arent the best public orator's all Reggie is really for is E3 he is awesome.

Now its time for intelligent systems to re-launch the advance wars brand just like they did amazingly with this series. Who would have taught that this most hardcore of nintendo series would make the top 3 in the shooter obsessed uk & ireland market, outstanding i bet nintendo plan to re-launch the whole mother series in the west as well the VC launch of earthbound is just the start....

Re: Rumour: Wii U System Update Could Go Live Tomorrow

What a bunch of whiners talk about never being happy, for an age and a half it was "we want earthbound.. c'mon ninty make it happen" and then when we get earthbound you are all complaining about something else just be happy for crying out loud the WiiU VC selection will grow in time and we might just get confirmation of GC games at E3 so just... be... patient... this constant whining is getting old.

@AugustusOxy bang on dude development costs on AAA ps3 & xbox games this gen were scary (somewhere in the $150mil-$250mil area) imagine how much even the battlefield 4 17min demo cost. The market needs stability not budget expansion's that will sink all but the EA's and ACTIVISION'S of this world
