What a perfect example of how stale and rehashy nintendo games have gotten
>>
>>252262728
The 3DS only started selling because of Animal Crossing New Leaf and MH3G. It was doing awful in Japan until those 2 titles came out. Don't start that shit, until Wii U gets a pretty heavy hitting franchise it isn't gonna sell.
>>
>>252264251
Plus the fact that 3ds has next to no competition. Wii U is getting its shit wrecked by both the ps4 AND xbone. And those consoles both have no games as well. If smash doesn't immediately save the Wii u it won't then as soon as master chief collection and bloodborne come out, nintendo will be fucking done

Vita is a closer competitor to the 3DS than PS4 and Xbone are to the Wii U. Wii U is the only console that isn't aimed at Dudebros.
>>
>>252264786
They're separate markets though, a casual and core demographic. Its the same reason why the Wii selling shit loads and hitting 100+million didn't stop the ps3 and 360 from both hitting tons of sales as well.
>>
>>252262728

Why the fuck do people say Pikmin 3 is short? I am enjoying the shit out of it and only have about half the fruit collected so far and have 35 days of juice supply. Fucking rolling in plant bitches and fruity goodness.

I'll actually probably buy all the DLC missions just because its so much fun. I bought MK8 and got it for free. Fuck mk8. Plants all day every day.

Things might turn around for Wii U after the major hacks start coming out. Personally this is what I was waiting for, and I'm now considering buying one.

Personally I don't give a shit if it sells poorly or not. Nintendo seems to make the best games when they're backed in a financial corner, like with the gamecube, whereas with the wii they just kinda took everything for granted and there were long droughts of no-games and nothing but wiifit wiimusic bullshit. The benefit of a console selling well is that you get more attraction from 3rd parties, but 3rd parties hate nintendo consoles even when they're runaway successes, so it's really a moot point for the customer since you know you're not getting the multiplat 3rd party games anyway.
>>
>>252266002
Honestly that right there shows that Nintendo still has learned nothing and will continue to flop.
Yes they don't have much 3rd party support but they still can't even fucking advertise what they do have. Devils third should be nintendo's ninja gaiden, a game they can proudly show off to get tons of core gamers interested in Wii u.
Instead it got a shitty 20 min mention on the treehouse stream, shovel knight had more time than that.

Why the fuck did they not show this off in their direct? Or show off MH4? Or show off fantasy life? Or even Mario party? Nintendo is shit at even advertising their "lesser franchises"
Nintendo fails to see what will actually appeal to people and will push everything on smash while ignoring things like devils third. They still don't understand the western market at all

>>252262728

This is kinda bullshit, the 3DS had a sales slump for like 6 months and then that shit started picking up tons of traction, and even then 6 months still got like 7 million units and then by the time the holidays ended it was double that.

Are handheld expectations just different? I know we were coming of the old DS and all but lets just consider that the 3DS sold about the same as the PS4(which we considered to be on of the best console launches ever in terms of sales) in the same amount of time and the DS still had strong titles at this point in time so not everyone was going to immediately make the jump, plus it was kinda pricey.


Also it took two Christmases and 3 Mario games to get a Nintendo console up too 6 million units sold, that really doesn't sound great for the Wii U.
>>
>>252266619
>>252266421
Enough with this shit.

Smash is not a system mover, despite what you may think. Melee didn't cause the GCN to overtake the PS2 and xBox, and Brawl only sold well because the Wii was a fucking powerhouse.

>>252266493
I know Zelda is big but I don't see Hyrule Warriors reviewing well since you know, Dynasty Warriors sucks now. And I don't think people are going to go out and buy a Wii U for Hyrule Warriors.
>>
>>252266825
do you honestly believe Bayo 2 will sell well?
>>
>>252266418
Ninja gaiden on the Xbox sold over 1 million units.
Devils third could easily be successful if Nintendo weren't faggots that only marketed Mario and Zelda games

>>252266698
but it's outselling other systems, 3rd parties are already supporting it as the defacto console, even if WiiU started outselling it and took a lead of almost 3 to 1 third parties would be too far in development and wouldn't be retooling their games for WiiU, and even then 3rd parties would come up with some excuse like Graphics or Install base won't buy their games. PS4 wins not on its own merits but because of Sonys presence in the Console market place, The same shit happened with PS3 and despite selling poorly 3rd parties still pushed it forward.

I'll bet Bayo 2 will sell double what Wonderful 101 did!

No shit. A console needs games to succeed. That is its purpose. Everything else on it is bells and whistles. Both consoles launched earlier than they should which is why they sucked ass in the beginning. If they launched when they actually had a decent library to start, they never would have had an issue.

It's starting to amass a legitimate library, unlike the other systems out right now. Sure, it doesn't have a killer app, but if they continue to support it with second-party releases and stuff like Expand Dong, Pikmin, and eShop exclusives, it could have a place.

It still has very few games, as it's become the de facto rule that consoles don't seem to start cranking out decent games until a year or two after launch. But the games have started coming out and there are quite a few new ones on the horizon.

Honestly, Wii U is looking like the best console pick right now, if for no other reason than offering games that I can't just play on PC, unlike PS4/Xbone.

Most probably it won't be 30k, but 35k or so. PS4 at the same time will get huge constant boost from Destiny.

As a PC owner, give me a reason why I should own a PS4 or Xbone? I honestly can't think of any.

How is Destiny?
The single player looked pretty boring.

The 3DS sold like shit the first year because it was $250 and the battery life on the first revision was garbage. Then Nintendo dropped the price by $100 and had to deal with months of huttburt by first buyers who got burned.

Wasn't the ambassador program announced the same time the price drop was?

My biggest issue was that Walmart intentionally lowered the price a week before the Ambassador deadline was up.

They are similar, but they got progressively better until the One.
Sony controllers just got worse until 4

3DS might be doing well but it's doing bad when compared with the DS. The handheld market is dying slowly.

>>252269730
Yeah, the original price was fucking bullshit. They were clearly overcharging on that. Same goes for the Wii U's jewtastic deluxe edition.

Luckily now you can buy new refurbs for 200.

Never said it caused WiiU to become the be-all end-all console, just that MK8 boosted it by a considerable amount. The retard before pretended it didn't and spoke in future tense as though it had to, which it already did. Most games die down after the first month, MK8 wasn't a freak exception. That's the only point here. End of story

The overwhelming majority doesn't know it exists, but that's alright, I like the smaller community. Miiverse went to total dicks when they let 3ds people in.

THAT was the true "burn" to people who bought the 3DS at full price, the Walmart buyers got it at the reduced price AND had access to the Ambassador games.

Whoops.
I thought he was referring to hardware specs
>>
>>252269940
That's because handhelds are supposed to be a place for cheaply made games not suited for consoles, but with the advancing technology they're becoming AAA games all unto themselves.

This is what killed the vita. The 3DS hasn't suffered nearly as much because it's less powerful and focuses less on AAA, but the advancement is still present .

If we want to talk about this seriously, what exactly constitutes a "dead" console? The only examples I can think of major consoles that "died" were the Virtual Boy, and the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast.

I still say its not worth getting a Wii-U till the end of NEXT year when I assume more than one decent game will come out.

>>252269690
Save your money and hope not every dev starts turning retarded. All the PS4 has going for it is being the new black hole for gaymurs and I can't imagine the few Xbox exclusives making it worth buying, even with the price drop.

Hell, I wouldn't even bother upgrading if you haven't already.
>>
>>252270332
Your logic is flawed. It's not a zero sum game and someone else being able to take advantage of the ambassador situation doesn't negatively impact you.

Of course, the same argument could be made about the price cut itself: the fact that the price was cut doesn't negatively impact people that bought it at 250, per se. It only burns in retrospect, knowing that they could've waited a month or two. But those people are morons for buying an obviously overpriced handheld that had no games at the time.
>>
>>252270026
>And home consoles are already dead.

I think they will die too but it will take more time.
>>
Wii U has typical nintendo games
PS4 has bloodborne and timed exclusive garbage
Xbone has... halo port? And timed exclusive garbage again

Really none of the consoles are looking too great, but at least you can make the case for a Wii U if you want those nintendo games. The others? No reason since it's all multiplatforms and cross-generationals. That and bloodborne, and if you want to spend 460 bucks + sub fees for 1 game, then top kek.
>>
>>252262728
3DS sold more because of Pokemon and you're a retard not to believe that.

>>252271003
>multiplat games are not games

What about MGSV, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy? Are these "don't count" too?

And because of monster hunter and house wives buying animal crossing.

>>252270415
It was shit covered gold bar, but now it's just a big shit
>>
>>252271331
MGSV can be played on last gen consoles and a PC port is a possibility. A cross-gen port is not a reason to buy a console.

Final Fantasy is kek tier and I don't know anything about KH, so no comment.

Moreover, I should specify that ps4 and xbone will have a handful of exclusives, 99% of their libraries are/will be multiplatform and highly redundant.

That's the problem for the PS4 though. No games means no software sales, and casuals don't buy games to begin with. The attach rate has been dismal.

How is it dead when we just saw its future lineup at E3

Eh, Watch Dogs beat MK8 on the PS4 alone. Sorry to break it to you but they are buying the games.
>>
>>252273020
You're dodging the point by playing with subjectivity.

Point being that the PS4 and Xbone have and will continue to have, relatively speaking, very few games that can't be enjoyed elsewhere. This makes them the least economical choice.
>>
>>252273239
I like how you went out of your way to prove how impartial you are before saying something stupid.

8 games over 3 years is not exactly something to be proud about.

>>252273334
What future lineup? All we saw were games we knew about 2 years ago finally getting a release window

Protip - Most of them were sometime NEXT year
>>
>>252273239
It's not dead, just clear that it's never going to sell like hotcakes.
>>
>>252273362
The most economical choice is to not buy current gen console in the first place.
>>
>>252273517
According to the website, it's eight games in one year.
>>
>>252273334

None of that shit is actually going to turn the Wii U's fortunes around, I wish it did, I want more shit on mine, but it won't.

Devi's Third in particular will probably be a bigger bomb than W101.

>>252262728
how can the mario game be new if it isnt new?
>>
>>252274029
That year is FY2015-2016 I'm guessing, which means 8 games by March 2016.

Not to say this image is wrong in the way bias towards Nintendo exists but rehash doesn't simply mean a lot of games under the same series have been made. You can't honestly say that Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid V are the same game at all.

It's not. The only people that are extremely hyped for it are the same freaking autistic loyalists. Most of them already have a 3ds and/or a Wii U. Brawl sold one third of what MK Wii did, SSB4 will probably do as good as MK8, probably less.

or here - someone already did it for you >>252279219
He also forgot Lego Batman game, and I guess port from 3DS one - 2.5D Batman game.
>>
>>252266890
You're a fucking idiot.

Are those games coming out tomorrow?
Then why say a goddamn thing? To build hype?
It's too fucking late now, everyone is such a goddamn cynic that to give anyone time to hype will give them time to grow back to hate it.

They're showing stuff off once it's out and actually exists, so there's nothing to nitpick about until you actually just play the game.

They could run commercials for W101 this thanksgiving and if kids didnt know about it before holy shit they'll think it's an all new toy.

True casuals like dads have no idea about W101, but if they're kid started asking about it for their Nintendo, bam.

It's not a yearly release, it's a one and only for that system, so it'll sell forever on that limitation.
>>
>>252279219
The Wii U is the dark night now, I guess. I guess you could say Lego Batman, Lego DC super heroes, Injustice. Lego city has a batman cameo.
>>
>>252279918
Yeah... and people still complaining about Mario being overused.I didn't count overall number of games with Batman in it - but it seems that he is quite a whore as it turns out.
>>
>>252272713
Well, if those sort of remakes and ports to count, then amount of games per generation will be skyrocketed... for Sony and Microsoft titles. Cause did you see amount of HD ports, PC ports, Remastered and "definitive edition" ones?
I really guess it's better to stick to home consoles, otherwise it'd be a fucking mess of a chart.
>>
>>252262728
Thank you based nintendo and nintendrones for more platforming rehashes, surely the greatest achievement of gaming and warrants a 300 dollar console
