Personally I feel like Nintendo will take the next generation as well

[winb83]

By the time their competitors hit the market Nintendo is already gonna have a solid base. Nothing against Microsoft or Sony but i fail to see how they're ever gonna catch up. realistically we're probably gonna see these next crop of systems about two years from now. that's too long to leave Nintendo on the market alone for a console generation.

personally i'm lukewarm on Nintendo as a fan even though i plan to buy the Wii U but i think its hard to see how they don't take this. Sony and Microsoft kept dragging this console generation on for too long. we're like 7 years into it now and they haven't even announced successors yet officially.

i know the graphics snobs look at the Wii U and feel like its a last generation console but its probably gonna be received as the most popular console of the next generation if for nothing else the fact that it got the ball rolling before the other competitors were more than a twinkle in their maker's eyes.

You may be right, my question about Sony and MS next consoles is how much better is it going to look than WiiU's visuals

 

[SmoothOperator88]

Its definitely possible. I know I'm getting the Wii U. Remember though, this is the-coli so this thread is gonna get 1-starred.

Spoiler

Not by me though. I wish the Wii got more respect around here.

nope

The casuals bought the Wii and barely played it. Nintendo will never win over the hardcore crowd, those days are over.

Idk it has the potential to and with the way things are looking it may if they kick off their online service to a good start.

2K13 didn't look too bad in that video. Throw in a HD Mario, Zelda and Punchout with Mike Tyson

First Look at 2K Sports NBA 2K13 on Nintendo Wii U - YouTube!

As well? Do you own Nintendo stock? Yeah they sold alot of hardware but gamewise they came in deadlast by a mile.

If the best the Wii U can do is say Final Fantasy XIII level graphics that's acceptable to me. They'll have that controller to take advantage of and we haven't gotten HD level Nintendo games yet.

What can they bring to the table at this point. Wii was revolutionary at the time, xbox got no controllers. They need a hell of a new gimmick or games people want to play

i agree. seems like theyre blurring the tech line between this gen and next enough to be able to tread water by the time the other 2 show up. by then, thats all they will need. actually who is to say by then they wont just drop another console...

people forget nintendo is over a century deep in salesmanship.

That has not helped them lately. They have lost a TON of money recently.

wii u BARELY catches up to current gen consoles

plus we already have kinect/move and nintendo isnt bringing anything groundbreaking to the game

wii u is gonna flop so badly if there wont be a ton of killer exclusives for it, which I highly doubt

this is true but do you think its the first time? their only recent fukk up was what...3DS?

their problem, from where i sit, is they share an audience with apple. casuals

They are in a tough position because many people felt burned with the Wii and I just don't see the hardcore gamer accepting middling gimmicky bs party games again. I think its a bad strategy for Nintendo as anything past the N64 was heavily focused on 4 player games...they are not even letting you buy an extra controller from the jump. I see a big holiday season for them and then a FAST FAST drop.

Microsoft is giving the casuals what they want with the Kinect.
