Pilotwings Resort was fucking incredible, still my favourite game on the system.

The PS4 wasn't overpriced and didn't have the power of the cell bullshit that not even devs knew how to work with.

Remember when they had to cut the price almost immediately after release and to make it up to early adopters they allowed them ONE (1) FREE download of a selection of games that were nearly 30 years old and Nintendo fans responded with their usual "YES!!! YES!!! NINTENDO DOES IT AGAIN!!! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN NINTENDO WON YET AGAIN?????"

PS4 had a standard console launch where there was no exclusives for a while.

PS3 had a disastrous launch where it was overpriced and had no exclusives for a long while.

Sega Saturn

Wasn't it like 5 GBA and 5 NES roms? I forgot about that, and I bought it at launch. I was pretty pissed off.

Damn the DS really roasted the PSP

PS3 probably had it worse, only because it had no games for about 2 years. 3DS had no games for around a year. No games means only three or four games worth having the system for in this case.

Why are sonyggers so bitter? Is it the lack of sex fueled by 2D chinese girls?

No games = plenty time to make memes on paint.

The PSP didn't really do so well until the end when it became really good for emulation.
>>
>>339300973

Mostly PS2kids who took it personally when they got memed on constantly while the PS3 was flopping. Going from being a fanboy of the top dog to a fanboy of a complete failure was too much for them.

"Play with the new controller"
"Play only on the new controller"
"Use motion to control with the new controller"
They never mention the console itself, the name is literally the same except with a U added to it. What a fucking shitshow.
>>
>>339301305
To make matters worse, they show gameplay of fucking Wii Sports and a New Super Mario Bros clip that looks identical to New Super Mario Bros on the Wii.
>>
>>339300873
Goddamn even back then it was Sonygger central

Was Neogaf ever good?
>>
>>339300548
At least the DS had a few launch titles

PS3 had Talledega Nights
>>
>>339302654

Yea but Talledega Nights.
>>
WiiU was really bad.
MS shat themselves with the Xbone but at least people knew it was a new console
>>
>>339303893
aside from japan who don't even know the xbone exist
>>
>>339299260
>Wii U
Sold fine its first few months actually, over 3 million at launch which is not bad at all. Didn't sell much worse than Xbone did at launch. 3DS did much, much worse at launch, Nintendo had to drop the price almost immediately.
>>
>>339302439
was /v/ ever good
there's your answer

Personally, I found the PSP to have a really poor launch. There were tons of hardware issues like non-responsive buttons, or buttons falling off, or dust/air trapped in the screen. In addition to the typical lack of games at launch.
>>
>spent $250 on it for next to no reason
>played some pokemon game
>never picked up the thing ever again

it was an incredibly terrifying moment of pure indifference to how much money I just spent on essentially a 6 hour long game only to never touch the thing ever again

I still don't really remember what the fuck was going through my head, but somehow I was okay with it

I don't even like weab shit
>>
anyone use G2A here? Are their sales reliable?

I would make a separate thread but it would most likely just attract shills.
>>
>>339307991
Bought from them couple of times, and no problems.

Just make sure you buy from people with plenty of high ratings.
>>
>>339308106
fair enough
>>
>>339299260
At the very least the Wii U launched with the eShop and internet browser, and had a couple of good launch titles. 3DS didn't get the eShop until like 3 months later, and the only notable launch titles were Pilotwings, Street Fighter, and something else that I'm forgetting.
>>
>>339298813
Vita, PS4, etc.

Does the Wii U use the Wii controllers? If so jesus man, how did they expect people to know this was an all-new console? they deserve their shit sales.
