dualshock 1 didnt release until after the rumble for n64 i believedualshock one was released before ps2, and i'm assuming N64, with both analog and rumble. good points otherwisenintendo also does a great job with using different graphic styles to make up for its system differences
i really dont care about how real the dogs in CoD look but after all these years you can play wind waker on the gamecube and the graphics dont look out of date at all
in terms of a lot of nintendo franchises, i honestly dont see how or why they would need to make mario look more detailed than he looks in 3D world
the funny thing is how sony has been copying nintendo for years now but they make it seem like nintendo is the one trying to keep up
the PS1 controller was pretty much the SNES one with handles
N64 comes out with the analog stick and next think you know the PS2 controler also has analog sticks
nintendo comes out with a rumble pack addon to the N64 controller and a while later sony comes out with the dual shock with a built in rumble pack
the wii comes out with motion controls and now the ps4 controller has motion controls
i would rather get a system that creates new ways to play and enjoy games (gamepad, wii remotes) than the same system with a better processor every 5 years
yea i was talking out of my ***. i just assumed N64 didn't drop till the PSOnes life cycle was over for some reason, I never had a N64 so I couldn't really remember. thanks for the correctiondualshock 1 didnt release until after the rumble for n64 i believe
cause i remember when i got my first ps1 it didnt have dual sticks
Is the Wii U really doing that bad? Total sales as of now, Wii u 5.5, PS4 4.6 and XboxOne 3.2. Yes I know the Wii u had a year head start! Last couple of months sales have been really good (WW). Now all the console sales have slow down (expected after holiday rush). If I didn't know any better, I would swear Wii U total sales wouldn't even be a million by all the bad press lately! Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, Zelda etc..... still lots of heavy hitters to come.
They fool their fans into thinking graphics equal "next gen" when they overemphasize 8 gigs of ram. They fool their fans by showing tech demos that look nothing like the actual released versions... Sony in particular are notorious for over promising and under delivering. This overall statement is very disingenuous as you contradict yourself in the very next statement when you bring up power as a reason the Wii U is not performing well.
The basis to your argument is that its "weaker" hardware and lesser online infrastructure is the reason for the Wii U's downfall, yet the original Wii had weaker hardware and had a lesser online infrastructure last generation and sold the most games and consoles. PS2 was considerably weaker than Gamecube and the original XBox and was considered the best because of the games. PSOne was considerably weaker than N64 and was considered the best because of the games. Power does not matter, lack of compelling software is the reason the Wii U is not successful.
Again bringing up power as the one all be all and completely ignoring games and game play. Hardware not being up to scratch is your opinion as there fans and developers who feel the hardware is fine with great looking games. This is a moot point.
Now all of a sudden Nintendo has a monopoly in the handheld market when Sony has failed to compete with the 3DS. 2 years ago the same thing people are saying about the Wii U they are saying about the 3DS. They said it was lacking games, no one cares about 3D, its under powered, lack 3rd party support, etc. Now that its a success of course its easy to say its the complete opposite to the Wii U.
Nintendo makes profit from all of their home consoles when it is said and done. They initially lost money on the Gamecube (their least successful home console) yet made a profit on that. Nintendo is the only company in this industry who consistently makes a profit
Exactly my point. Lets judge these consoles once the heavy hitters are out. People forget the Wii U sold over 3 million when it first came and fell off when it had a major software drought.
People also said the Wii U would be dead once the XBox One and PS4 arrived. Then Pikmen came, then Zelda:WW came, then Wonderful 101 came, then Mario 3D World came and now its selling again. It's all about the games.... always have and always will be.
nintendo also does a great job with using different graphic styles to make up for its system differences

Day 1I don't know about ya'll but I cannot wait for this game, donated for the Wii U version when it was on Kickstarter but might end up double dipping for the 3DS version as well.
On another topic, this is why I didn't believe/post the rumors about Nintendo's next console.
http://kotaku.com/tracking-down-the-odd-rumors-about-nintendos-next-cons-1506566012
The gist of it, is that the person who leaked said Rumor doesn't even know who he got it from.
They emphasize 8GB of ram because the 512MB on last gen was a major bottleneck and guess who asked for that amount, the developers. PS4 devkits actually began with 2GB of RAM then 4GB before they moved to 8GB because of developer feedback.
You also act like RAM just boosts graphics. A game like Dead Rising 3 is not possible on current gen because there simply isn't enough RAM to have all those zombies on the screen. Lots of RAM also means the OS is a lot faster and can multitask better.
Better specs means better graphics and the opportunity for better gameplay because you're not limited.
Can you also how me how they fool people into thinking graphics equals next gen because you keep on saying it but don't back it up. If E3 and the PS4 reveal is anything to go by, you would see that their focus was on more than just improved graphics which is expected by everyone so it's never . They dedicated a huge chunk of E3 and Gamescom into showing indie games because it's not all about the AAA blockbuster titles.
The Wii sold the most because of the motion control fad. It's hardware and software sales nosedived around 2010 when the lack of third party titles and the console's weaknesses caught up to it. The Wii-U is Nintendo trying to catch lightning in a bottle again but there's no momentum this time round because the gamepad isn't doing what the wiimote did which means it can't cover any of the consoles weaknesses that I pointed out in my previous post, which includes more than just power
The PS2 was weaker than the gamecube and Xbox but it came out 18 months before them, it was the most powerful console when released and it came off the the PS1 which had a lot of momentum and support.The PS1 was weaker but it was much easier to develop for than the N64 and it used the CD-ROM which had a lot of advantages over cartridges which is why games like FFVII moved from the N64 to the PS1.
Won't you call 3D and 2D Mario games heavy hitters? Also those games had hardly any effect on Wii-U sales which is why the forecast is 2.9milion down from 9 million.
They are projecting a $250 million loss even with 3DS profits. Whatever they lost with the gamecube can't compare to what they are losing now. The gamecube was cheaper to make and it'd sold more at this point of it's life.
Nintendo needs to stop putting all their energy and emphasis on their damn handhelds and put some serious attention into their consoles.
Then they'll be back on top.
I want a Wii U. But I'm not buying one if they're seriously considering building a new system.
Why would a "rumored" Nintendo system deter you from purchasing a Wii U? Company's always begin R&D on new consoles years before they are released. This is nothing new.
This negative press Nintendo is getting is ridiculous. Sony is one failure away from going out of business, yet the media has people believing Nintendo is the one who is in trouble.... HILARIOUS!
Because there would be no point in buying it if they are planning on replacing it in the near future.
And I don't want to derail the thread, but how is Sony one failure away from being out of business when the PS4 is the most successful console of this current gen? And it barely has any damn games out?
Whats the point in buying a Wii U if its obviously already on the verge of being replaced? I just got a PS4, and if Nintendo is in fact planning on building a new console, one that actually powerful enough to play something more than a cell shaded Zelda, I will get it.
But right now, with the current news, there's no reason for me to buy one. Because it from what it sounds like, it will be replaced. Then what? I buy the new one too?
Do I want a Wii U? Yeah sure. Part of me does. I actually want to play Zelda and a few other games. But I also wish Nintendo made a more powerful system. And if the rumors are true, well then I'll just wait for it.
They're finally fixing that cheesy *** edge grabbing glitch in smash bros. Nice.
Y'all can sleep on the wii U if y'all want. Just don't look crazy when Mario Kart 8 gets 10/10 review everywhere
Because there would be no point in buying it if they are planning on replacing it in the near future.

Did you even read my thread? It's not out of the ordinary for companies to start work on a new console years before they are released. There is absolutely no substantial information stating they are replacing the Wii U. They are more than likely starting to do R&D for their next generation handheld.
The fact you are not getting the Wii U because of such a asinine and unsubstantial internet rumor is laughable. It would be business suicide for Nintendo to release a new console to "compete" with the PS4. How did that work out for Sega??
You simply want to go with what is cool and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sony has spent billions of dollars to be the"cool" kid on the block and you don't want to purchase the Wii U because it's has struggled. I get that, but lets not hide behind such a weak excuse. Nintendo can afford for the Wii U to fail, they have billions in the bank. Does that mean they will stop support, no. They have plenty of time to get it together.
The only current news you need to know to purchase a Wii U are the big boy games like Zelda, Smash Bros, Monolith's X, etc. have been confirmed to be releasing for the Wii U. End of story.
Speaking of Sony... they stated themselves they can't afford for the PS4 to fail. They have been loosing billions of dollars for years. Sony has been selling buildings, while Nintendo continues to build buildings. They continue to sell lots of consoles, but have yet found a way to profit the way Nintendo has.

Why hasn't this news deterred you away from the PS4? See what I'm saying? This is why I can't take you seriously when you won't purchase a Wii U. Sony, as a whole, are in a worse position than Nintendo. Just recently Nintendo has been valued higher than Sony. That says a lot when a multimedia company with tons of divisions and areas to create revenue is less valuable than a stand alone video game company.
It's a complete double standard and I have to give it to Sony's marketing team. They have done brilliant job fooling the masses about their current state of affairs. Nintendo needs a better marketing and PR firm man... LOL
Yes my jimmies were russled, good way to counter my arguments... you have proven you are cooler than me.
Back to the Nintendo gaming discussion... nothing here to see folks.
Nintendo just needs stronger 3rd party support
Nintendo need to just make game only. They would crush every sales benchmark.
