LOL....ok GG...and look who the Wii sold to. People who don't give a fuck about games...yeah, that's great. I can see how that must be doing so much for you, and how it set the Wii U up so well for continued success. Yay for Nintendo. That system is honestly the worst thing that could have happened to Nintendo in many ways. That success blinded them to what actual gamers want. Also, Gamecube did not have the majority of games....not even close. PS2 had literally hundreds more. Sucks, but its the truth.
Anyway, I'm done with the Nintendo topic. System's not coming out this year, they have nothing....they can do no wrong in many people's eyes because they are the gaming equivalent of the catholic church. Whatever. Let me know 7 months from now when they actually show something.
The truth here. Sony didn't do anything revolutionary but they didn't fuck up. They put out a reliable system and sort of mimicked the Xbox Live model. No DRM nonsense, no screwy controller.
Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft don't sell most of their consoles to "gamers". Their average demographic are those who purchase one game every four months.

I read it. I wonder what 'proper' translates to in hard numbers.
I never had a set argument I made a comment, you can believe what happened at Sony is normal every day activity, I think that's total bullshit.
Not one of you ever said don't would easily escape this mess, therefore your thoughts on it now is total bs.
Nintendo boss says that launching NX next year is the proper thing to do?
I'm shocked! SHOCKED I tells ya!
Remember that time when a boss actually admitted that what his company was doing wasn't a smart move?
Yeah, me neither...
Yep, March is Always been the best month for new consoles. Just in time for the holidays...spring break and Easter.
What a load of total bullshit from Nintendo. He has to say that but we all know it's a lie. Something went wrong, they can't physically meet the demands of the launch. If what he says is true he should be fired immediately as not launching in holidays is the stupidest shit any game company can do.
Leo why didn't you tell me this game starts with danger zone, I would have played it immediately.
Pretty sure the first video I ever posted of PvZ said exactly that...
With how toystores are promoting toys around Easter these days there soon won't be a difference between Christmas or Easter spending no more. Kids these days.
Then they should've waited two more months and released it on Mother's Day to get the kids and moms.
And now we're back to the why-consoles-fail/succeed circle jerk again becase history has shown that the most powerful console doesn't always win. This is a circular, never ending argument that never gets resolved, that no one can agree on. And this is why I hate the internet.
Yeah I'm sure that when Nintendo was making 400% more cash then any other platform holder in history, it was secretly gritting its teeth because some of the cash came from soccer moms. What is your argument here?
Edgecrusher said:
"No unnecessary crap, & a guarantee to have the majority of games that come out. Equals success"
And the Wii had your "unneessary crap" and didn't have the "the majority of games that come out" on it. And it was an amazing success.
So what you said is factually wrong. Now you're saying some consumers cash is worth more than other consumers cash?
I'm checking my accounts, but last time I checked I didn't have any Nintendo shares. Did you buy some for me? What does this mean exactly? Oh right, you're being a dick again because I don't agree with you about an old Nintendo console. Or like you do when Vader disagrees with you and you drop the Sony superfan accusation on him. Well in that case I'm gonna drop the Super Dick accusation on you.
You are being a Super Dick!
Ass.
It's great to look back in hindsight and magically predict that you were right all along. I'd say consumers massively purchasing your gimmick laden system and having unprecedented profits success would only lead them to follow that same path. It didn't work out this time but no one was blinded. Businesses go by what worked before.
If you sold a sugary citrus based drink and it sold a fuckton, then you came out with a different citrus flavoured drink, no one would really think anything of it. Even if it bombed.
Based on Wii and DS, having a new concept did wonderfully for Nintendo's bank balances so there was no reason to think a new one would fail so badly. If Wii had failed, sure make a normal console. Wii didn't fail. It made Nintendo relevant again and cash rich. Maybe it didn't satiate your deepest, wildist, hardcore gaming desires personally but you can't argue against how well it performed for them.
Gamecube did have the majority of games up until a certain point when support dried up. Up until that point it had great third party suport. Still didn't sell like gangbusters, but neither did the OG Xbox. But then if you're saying not even Gamecube can get decent third party support - when it was pretty much a normal powerful console, then I'm not sure what you're arguing again. Seems Nintendo is fucked either way it seems. As always.
Do you think if GC had a DVD drive that would have solved all Nintendo's problems?
Don't drop this bullshit at my front door. If you can't be bothered having a normal discussion don't start one. I've given Nintendo plenty of shit in my time, when it's deserved. That's^ a BS way to end a discussion.
Chapter 2 is up. It's long but a very good read. Make sure you read all of it as it is possibly the most meatiest chapter in the whole writeup.
One of the site's forefathers.
I'll give it another shot. Gamers will pick the most powerfull console out of the Sony and MS offering, because they know that they'll both get good 3rd party support. Should Nintendo have the most powerfull console, everyone will still ignore it because people know it won't get supported by a lot of third parties.
NES and SNES were the most powerfull. PS1 won because it played CD's (POWER) and was edgy. PS2 won because it played DVD's (POWER), MS was unproven and the GC was purple and came with a handle. PS3 and 360 were very close both in sales and hardware, but Nintendo soared past both because it created the casual gamer market. This gen, PS4 is winning out because it's clearly more powerfull than the Xbone, despite both hosting the same games. Nintendo is doing it's own thing in the corner. Next gen, Sony or MS will win based on who has the most powerfull console. If Nintendo has the best hardware, it won't matter because 3rd parties will still ignore them. And even if they get 3rd party support, no one will buy their console as by the time people notice, everyone will already have a PS5 or Xblock.
They also lucked out with the RAM, they originally planned for 4GB of RAM but got a late deal because memory prices dropped. Digital Foundry reported it. They also lucked out when Microsoft burned so many bridges with that E3 and DRM nonsense.
Methinks your phone has auto-corrected.
Jesus Christ. Maybe the software wont be ready?
Look at this way, NX has to be a success. HAS. TO.
Sure financially Nintendo would be fine taking losses for over a decade, but in mindshare having two consoles fail one after the other would be a nail in the coffin situation. I'm pretty sure they have to get this right and if that means they have to take more time with it, especially to make sure the software is ready, then is that really so bad? Would you rather they rush it out for Christmas and fluff the launch?
We're going to have a Nintendo-free E3 which is going to look very bad, but then a couple of months later there will be an NX blowout at a time when there is no competing news. It sucks for us gaming fans but in the long run, it means a couple of more months for news and several more months for release. I'm not happy about it either but we don't know what is happening behind the scenes with this console. It was never really even announced properly and has existed as just a codename since then. They never promised us anything as to when it would launch , or when it would be revealed its just all rumours.
People should be more pissed about this final year of the Wii U.
Starfux, Paper Mario and....... nothing? No Zelda U? That was actually promised so yeah fuck em for that. I hate that NX has delayed U Zelda. I think they're being dicks about that.
People are pissed about that, GG. They assumed that the U games drought is because the NX was coming. Now....nothing!
