I wouldn't be an early adopter of either. Destiny and titanfall come out in 2014 at the earliest. This could be Nintendos year if they price cut and give us a game of games.
Titanfall looked amazing. But everything good comes out in 2014 for Xbox one. I doubt they are going to sell millions of hardware with a new kinect sports especially with Sony at their doorstep.
To put it lightly Microsoft is in trouble.
Anything Retro announces will make waves, they are Nintendos greatest studio right now and the media will go nuts over what they produce. I don't think it's a Star Fox game because of hints from developers.
@irken004 yeah it looks terrible. Naughty Dog always buys good reviews when Who Farted was mediocre at best. Not to mention nobody has played this game yet. It's just desperate Sony propaganda
The last of us could very well suck. Marketing is overhyping stuff so that more wil buy it on launch. From what I've seen of the previews the story is too gory and too dramatic. I get enough drama at work, why would I want a game that puts that in my living room?
They certainly stick true to their name. This game was really good and refreshingly new. If they were wise they would have dlc during Halloween and remarket it
Nintendo sold 36 million Mario kart wiis, 86 million wii sports. Nobody in the industry has ever come close to those numbers. Even after unwrapping countries like China Blizzard got up to 12 million subscribers and the game is losing steam with half that today. Does Blizzard want money or not? Nintendo would be the perfect partnership.
I love the wii u.I'm playing through Zelda skyward sword for the first time and loving it. I loved my 360, but I'm really nervous and will not be buying an Xbox one until I hear positive results from consumers. From the looks of it, their might not be positive results.
Modern warfare 2 was mind blowing. Black ops 2 was too foul and had some disgusting scenes. I will pick up Ghosts because its Infinity Ward which is the true talent at Activision not Treyarch.
I'm probably the only person in the world that likes the kinect and of course anything Nintendo. Since Sony never innovates I rarely have interest in their stuff.
Not to mention Sony has no identity and has a reputation for killing its brands that people thought were what defined them. Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil. Armored Core and even Final Fantasy. Just an over expensive dull brand in my opinion.
The wii u didn't sell out not because it wasn't powerful enough, people don't want to spend 300-350 for a console yet because of the horrible economy. That's why ps3s are selling finally. I don't think the nextbox and ps4 will sell at all. Nobody's going to pay 500 bucks for a home console.
Pachter still doesn't ever get it right, in fact you would be rich right now if you put money on the opposite of what he predicted. The gaming industry is very different than the housing market or technology. Nintendos and Apple are proof of that time and time again.

Re: Armature Studios Gains Another Ex-Retro Staff Member
If he only worked on donkey kong he probably wasn't that good. The real talent are the guys who worked on Prime

Nobody on the planet dislikes Super Metroid. The game was perfect

Re: Microsoft To Announce Sequel To "Historic" Rare Franchise At E3
@GoombaSlayer Microsoft was having trouble with the tv show, but they had an entertainment agreement. I am 80% sure the reveal will be a new KI
Re: Microsoft To Announce Sequel To "Historic" Rare Franchise At E3
It will be Killer Instinct since its easy to make and have ready by launch. Don't expect it to be as great as Gold or anything
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U's Next-Gen Challenge Starts to Take Shape
Don't expect any decent games for ps4 or Xbox for a couple of years after launch.

Modern warfare 2 was mind blowing. Black ops 2 was too foul and had some disgusting scenes. I will pick up Ghosts because its Infinity Ward which is the true talent at Activision not Treyarch.
Re: Minecraft is Just As Likely To Appear on Wii U as Any Other Platform
3ds would be the neatest

Re: Nintendo Launches Kickstarter Parody "Crowdfarter" To Promote Game & Wario
That was hilarious, kind of making fun of Kickstarter too how they scam people into giving businesses free money
Re: SEGA Promises New Gameplay, Enemies and Potentially "Friends" in Sonic Lost World
3 playable characters only Sonic Knuckles and Tails no other garbage characters after that.
Re: Did Sumo Digital Just Tease A Sonic Racing And Mario Kart Crossover?
That definately wouldn't happen. Nintendo makes too much money on Mario Kart to add Sonic to it and risk defiling it
Re: Feature: 3DS - A Report Card Ahead of Its Biggest Year
I wouldn't mind another iteration of the 3ds, with better battery life and a second thumbstick

Re: Peter Molyneux: If I were Nintendo, I'd Put Mario On The iPad
Is Nintendo hurting? They are completely dominating the industry right now. How come there are only negative ad articles instead of praise?

Re: Just Cause Dev Thinks Wii U Is "Cool" But Has No Immediate Plans To Support It
That's funny they want Nintendo to convince them. I've never even heard of this game, can you please give your dev kit back

@BlackSpy whoever did the marketing did a horrible job. Shouldn't tell people this is how they will play next.
