Honestly I wouldn't give a poo poo about multiplatform titles on the wii or wii u, they're not the reason I buy a Nintendo console in the first place - my last one was a Gamecube and I never bought any multiplatform stuff for it because those were just clearly better on a PS2.

Look at this guy that never played Soul Calibur 2 on GC...

I don't like that Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 are coming out for the Wii U because even if they both had similar attach rates to NSMBU (unlikely) then they would likely be considered financial failures. Wonderful 101 probably will do better than bayonetta purely because it has a sort of child-like glimmer to it, much like a Mario game. But who will buy Bayonetta, the only hardcore/serious looking game on the WiiU?

I do not want these titles to fail because Platinum is great, but I do not see any other end.

Hey, Bayonetta 2 was destined for failure the second no one else wanted to publish it but Nintendo.

Off-tv play is great for me. And I didn't have to buy a $200 handheld - which uses (way) overpriced memory cards, and which doesn't have a whole lot of games that I would really be excited to play - to make use of this feature.

Dude the 3DS XL's memory cards are cheap, and they have a shitload of games to play.

Oh cool I kinda wanted to get into Infamous 2. I liked the first one. So I can just go out and buy the PC version, yeah? And just put it in and play?

edit: Oh, weird. I can't seem to find the PC version on Amazon. And the guy at GameStop laughed in my face. Maybe they don't carry it anymore??

I'm more surprised that you found a GameStop that actually sold PC games.

Seriously, I had no idea the Gamecube did that poorly until I read this thread. Everyone I knew who played games had one, and for most of us it was our favorite system because of awesome poo poo like Double Dash, Melee and Resident Evil 4.

That surprised the hell out of me, too. It even had the best version of SC2 :negative:

They're already exceeding what the PS3 sold at this point. And being that they have actual support it's ensuring the PS4 is going to last a long long time, it's not going to be something that burns out.

Yeah but the PS3 had a bad rap then (remember "get two jobs to afford it"?)and it took years to get itself going.

You're describing what people thought about the Wii upon release. Nintendo just thought they could catch lightning in a bottle again without ever really analysing why the Wii was eventually a runaway success.

That and they probably thought that the next gen systems wouldn't be out until later this year/the next.

That's a little unlikely if just because the PS4 is assured to get certain big-name IPs and even if its star has cooled in upcoming years, Final Fantasy XV is still going to sell a million copies there.

I think they really could if they wanted. They would have to patch a lot of their own games but they have not appeared patch averse to say the least.

You wouldn't have to worry about splitting the controller base for third parties, because there are no third parties. They could still make some of their own games require it and sell it separately, like the kinect I guess.

They probably could, but it's too late and wouldn't matter at this point. Like what's about to happen to the Xbox...
