Of course not. There are several issues plaguing the system other than just the marketing. It's the wrong system at the wrong time.You honestly think their entire problem is one of marketing?
The stamps are sort of neat thing from the idea of giving people without artistic talent a means of making those sorts of posts, but it seems to encourage flooding of stamp posts and discourage the awesome drawings. Wii Sports Resort's Stamp system would've been a good way to implement achievements on the Wii U.It seems like they have some idea of that with the stamp system, they just need to really refine it.
That's what people said about the Wii until it died 3 1/2 years later and became a dust magnet for most.As I said before I bet 99% of the people that bought the Wii U this holiday season are not concerned with the numbers nor have they even
bothered to look at them. I am sure they are satisfied with their purchase, they bought a games console to play games on, and that is what they got.
Platformers maybe but RPGs definitely not. The Wii to me had 4 good RPGs and that was The Last Story, Xenoblade and Fire Emblem (SRPG but I'll count it) and Monster Hunter. I realize that your statement is just your opinion but when you look at the PS3 having: Mass Effect series, Ni No Kuni, Skyrim, Demon's/Dark Souls, Star Ocean, Tales of Grace/Xillia and the upcoming Symphonia remaster, Valkyria Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, Final Fantasy XIV and Dragons Dogma it is just hard to say that the Wii's limited RPG library beats that. Heck even the 360 had some excellent exclusive RPGs in Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Fable and Magna Carta 2.I have no regrets purchasing a Wii, tons of great titles on the system.
Arguably the best RPGs and platformers last generation were on the Wii.
Poor sales will be even poorer?Uh, what does that have to do with Nintendo at all?
Why? Because Amazon bought a crappy studio?Poor sales will be even poorer?
What? No. This would be like Walmart making a console. You're crazy if you think this has no potential to disrupt the market.The Ouya did so well.
That's kind of what people said about the shitty Kindle Fire. Then they sold millions..lets be honest ouya don't have backing and tons of money like amazon does but yes no way android out performs big 3.
would not really call them crappy yeah they did not make fantastic games but they had some couple good ones.Why? Because Amazon bought a crappy studio?
so you think android games can match the quality of triple A titles on pc/ps4/xbox one/ wii u? i do agree that unlike ouya this thing will having much more money to toss around but no way it outsells big 3 or affect them in any way.That's kind of what people said about the shitty Kindle Fire. Then they sold millions..
Do I think Abdroid games can be big AAA games? Sure, why not? Then again, when you have a cheap console, let's call it $50, and tons of $1 games and a handfull of $20 games, a lot of people will be satisfied with it as "good enough".so you think android games can match the quality of triple A titles on pc/ps4/xbox one/ wii u? i do agree that unlike ouya this thing will having much more money to toss around but no way it outsells big 3 or affect them in any way.
Kindle...Fire you mean? Kindle is pretty much just for books.Most likely it will be a new Kindle. I think Zynga and other mobile developers are more threatened than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.
amazon already said they want to build a game system so it's not for a new kindle fire.Most likely it will be a new Kindle. I think Zynga and other mobile developers are more threatened than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.
ea don't even make madden for wii/ wii u any more no way they make it for a androd system lolKindle...Fire you mean? Kindle is pretty much just for books.
I remember when Amazon first started putting out kindles, they would give you $40 off if you bought the ad supported one. I could see that happening here and that super low price will get it into a lot of houses. At that point the "good enough" attitude will set in for most gamers. If they can get Madden on it, many people won't even bother with the other consoles. I know guys that only play Madden.
Sure, if the install base is large or Amazon subsidizes it. Don't kid yourself, the sector isn't static. Amazon's console may not turn the business upside down but eventually some other product will be there and disrupt the market. Tablets and smartphones have already wrecked Nintendo. Add to that an Amazon, an Apple console, some other big company - maybe Samsung? It's going to happen eventually.ea don't even make madden for wii/ wii u any more no way they make it for a androd system lol
Because they just had successful launches (and have mobile divisions), so at the macro media level it looks like there are only articles against Nintendo. However, there have been more than a few prognostications that consoles could be killed by an AppleTV update.So, how come it always seems like tablets and smart phones only hurt nintendo and not the other 2? lol.
I remember when 3ds launched all anyone was saying was "these will never sell, iphone has the portable market now no one else can sell anything". What do you know now, 3ds is selling really well.So, how come it always seems like tablets and smart phones only hurt nintendo and not the other 2? lol.
I probably literally died and came back.I remember when 3ds launched all anyone was saying was "these will never sell, iphone has the portable market now no one else can sell anything". What do you know now, 3ds is selling really well.
We have to remember this is blaster man who probably quite literally gets off on any bad news for Nintendo, even when he manufactures it himself.
Tons of $1 games on a home console will mean no one (a critical mass) will ever pay $20 for a game (or probably even $10) which means "real developers" won't touch it which means no AAA games. Everyone already carries around something in their pockets that plays shit games. I hope these android boxes or whatever they are called fail more than you hope Nintendo goes under times a billion trillion infinitiy plus one.Do I think Abdroid games can be big AAA games?

Sony has been getting pretty close, IMHO. They just recently had a sale with a bunch of good games for $3.75 or something like that. Dirt cheap. Plus of course PS+ giving "free" games. I don't know if it is working out for them, but it's certainly working out for the gamers.Steamboxes will be more of a threat once they get those polished, as currently console just can't compete with Steam's pricing. They can't have as crazy of sales on digital games as they can't piss off their retail partners who don't want the physical games languishing on their shelves.
I don't know how they're doing it. The games they're giving for free are pretty incredible.Sony has been getting pretty close, IMHO.

agreed ps+ has been killing it.I don't know how they're doing it. The games they're giving for free are pretty incredible.
No kidding. What happened to Knuckles? SMHagreed ps+ has been killing it.
on topic. the new sonic game looks horrible. lost worlds was bad, but this one....
Definitely. But it's mostly older stuff, indie stuff and stuff that just didn't sell.Sony has been getting pretty close, IMHO.
