I'm probably gonna get flack for this but I'd rather see Nintendo go away instead of Xbox. Didn't care about them for the last two gens.







:yeshrug:

Never touching another Nintendo console after the Wii and Wii U. The Wii U was their last chance and they disappointed.

But to be honest I dont want none of the 3 to go away. More competition the better.

But this is seriously looking like the 6th gen. Sony dominating. MS in second place, but still profiting. And Nintendo being the failure. Wii U is the new GameCube, except the GameCube was actually good.

y'all tripping. Nintendo games are by far the most unique. Splatoon is the freshest shooter out now. So unique and different.

I'm talking about Nintendo the company(at least I am) and not the games themselves. Zelda, Pokeman and Metroid will always have a place in my list of favorite games. But Nintendo the company is totally arrogant and out of touch when it comes to modern gaming. Its because of that is why they are hurting.

As for being unique, they try to be unique TOOOOOOO much that it hurts them.

it's not just a 1 million dollar tourney. COD is being run in leagues and the most popular one uses xbox and is being funded by MS....MLG. This is the same company that runs the cod champs at the end of each season. I don't see sony getting MLG after all the money being invested into them by MS. It's a lot more complicated than

Sony: hey...we're running the league now

you don't understand what i'm saying lol....COD Champs is the finals for the season that is ran every year with every cod game by MLG and MS has money in it. There are a bunch of regular season tourneys/events that help seed teams for COd Champs... There is no way on earth MS is going to fun the regular season then let sony fun the finals. That's like the NFL backing the regular season of pro football and then letting the CFL back the superbowl.

Their YouTube scandal alone shows how out of touch they are. Social media sites like YouTube which 'free advertise' your products has become apart of the modern gaming culture. Every gaming company sees this, but Nintendo, wonder why? Why can a company like Activision which only cares about the $$$ not only accept, but also promote gameplay videos of their product but not Nintendo?

GC had some third party gems, but if we're talking exclusives Wii U is on the same level as GC, just needs a few more games and it'll surpass it. star fox, zelda, xenoblade already coming.

maybe their games don't interest you, but they're knocking shyt out the park this gen
