Wii U

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

i get paid monday so may pick up pikmin 2.

p 100 looks interesting as well

P100 is actually nothing like Pikmin, it more like Viewtiful Joe.

See in Pikmin Olimar stands back while the pikmin do the fighting he commands them with his whistle and they do what he says. Basically Pikmin are units and you command them to attack individual.

in P-100, recruiting people actually make each of your 3 main characters more powerful. with more people you can make an even bigger fist, sword or gun. The player character can attack, but the followers can't help unless they're in a team attack which the player initiates. Its almost like a crowd based beat em up.

P-100, Zombiu and Ninja Gaiden were the ones I played most because I really enjoyed all three.

Iwata: The Wii U's graphics won't lag behind its next-gen competitors like the Wii

That's kind of impossible to say that with certainty unless he has confirmed set in stone intel on the exact final specs Sony And Microsoft is putting into their system. Not like it matters. High end hardware makes it costly for developers to stay in business. With any luck for the developers sake, maybe he meant to say that the U won't lag like the wii did, it will lag worse.

I think it's more to do with the jump between the PS3 and PS4 won't be as big as that of the PS2 and PS3. So when Nintendo finally have something a bit better then the PS3 like they had something a bit better then a PS2 the difference won't be so bad.

I'm not expecting PS4 and next Xbox to be leaps and bounds above what we have now. Development costs are too high and Sony and MS would lose more money. Third party devs have come out and said they are happy supporting this gen because of costs already pretty high and MS and sony are finally making money on hardware. Sony is having trouble financially and to lose money on hardware is not something they are looking into. If anything I expect MS to be more focused like Nintendo on other ways to play your games and control them. Sony is also. I think they will be a bit above Wii U but not a massive leap. Wii U seems to have a bit of a margin above current systems esp when it's native of 1080P. I think the age of massive leaps is dead.

[Who Really Cares?]

My guess is the next xbox and PS will be atleast 8 times more powerful than the current consoles. The Wii U will lag after a while but no way near as badly as the wii has

No one is going to pay 1000$ for a console and devlopers are not going to spend upwards of 200 mil $ to make a game. Right now developers are happy with PS3/360 as they can make money back and are in no rush for MS/Sony to jump. When they do it won't be a major leap like generations past. I don't think you know what you're saying.

[Who Really Cares?]

Its never going to cost that much and the 360 and ps3 will continue to sell so MS and Sony will be able to take a hit on their next consoles for a few years while still making profits off the current ones.

And look around on the sites, most devs are calling for or saying they are moving onto next gen.

[Bluecast]

Most devs are happy making money with less risk. Unless you want to see MS & Sony leave the console biz. 8 times is not going to happen. This gen was not even that big of leap. It jumped to 6x times the power of last gen.We have never had a gen with 8x at most next gen will be 2-3. For a raw guess and comparison Wii U might be Dreamcast or PS2 and MS & Sony will either be Xbox or Gamecube in comparison.

Wii U 'isn't going to work' says Pachter also claims the 360 like pad is due to activision not wanting to use the tablet for COD

He said this about the Wii and said the PS3 would dominate this gen.

[Bluecast]

That wasn't even worth posting. The guy is a moron and everything he "predicts" the opposite is true.

I think there is still a long time before nintendo become a failure, they understand the industry better than any security firm analyst could hope to and have more experience than any of the competition, sure it might not be an immediate success but they will always pull through, after all the Wii wasn't exactly the best hardware wise but outsold all the competition this gen that says something about how well they understand the market, they also have countless popular franchises that will make people buy the wii u just to play them even if the controller is a 6 foot dildo

I find it funny how he said they got lucky with the wii, you need more than luck to sell 95.85 million units and dev's will experience with anything that's popular, there are many possibilities that the tablet offers that are just too good for the creative type to pass on given the chance
