No, why would I? Wouldn't it make more sense to want all gaming systems to succeed, so that there are more games to choose from?

No, why would I want an aspect of something I enjoy (gaming) to fail?

No, hope it succeeds wildly and is able to run PS4/720 games as well, so I can go back to SNES glory days of only needing one console :cool:

No. Why would anyone? Unless someone has a sick, unhealthy detrimental obsession with Nintendo, I don't think anyone would actually strive to see Nintendo, let alone any company, fail.

I think you're a traitor and a hypocrite for getting a PS2 instead of a GameCube and then whining about the Wii.

But seriously, I don't see how exactly we would benefit from Wii U failing.

Ninty going 3rd party?

I don't think so.

Getting the best console instead of maintaining blind brand loyalty makes him a "traitor"? Nintendo lost the dev support after SNES, don't blame gamers for going where the best games are! But ya, it's silly to want a console to fail.

I personally think you're an idiot, and here's why. Actually, I'll let you tell everyone why I think you're an idiot, and a troll. Why does the GameCube look like "childs play"? You say gimmicks make games worse? Online play is a gimmick. HD is a gimmick. Being able to play DVD movies is a gimmick. Dual Analog is a gimmick. Rumble is a gimmick. Playing music CD's is a gimmick. You think gimmicks make gaming worse do you?

I'm actually hoping they correct a few mistakes and make a great console with some great games. I want the best possible product and I don't care if its Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft who give it to us.

Before i say this i want to put it out that i dont want anyone to lose their jobs, but the Wii U brings nothing to the table, if Nintendo would stop making consoles we could play Nintendo games on a superior system and wouldnt have to spend hundreds of dollars on another system just for a handful of games. Thats my thoughts on it.

Nintendo needs a system to fail to realize they need to actually catch up with the current gen and make a decent system with a decent library and online play.

I hope that it's a system with high quality exclusives that I will enjoy playing. So, no, I don't want the system to fail.

We know barely nothing about the systems online yet besides the Eshop and the Eshop will probably be better then both PSN and XBLA because Indie devs seem to be in love with the WiiU's Eshop so far.And the WiiU is a next gen console.You can't deny that.

Lol man... A Nintendo system can bomb at retail, but the Ninth games ensure it'll be a cult, fondly remembered forever. That's one reason why having a first party like Nintendo does can be such an asset.

Fail to Nintendo or gamers? Because it will fail to gamers (not the brain washed sheep of course) if everything that we know about is true (350-400$ price, lol specs, ports of 7 years old systems, no games worth sh!t announced and a fking controller is supposed to be the strength of a next generation console? GTFO of here) it will fail and FAIL hard but i'm sure it'll sell 40-50 mills.

Nope. Why would anyone want a company to fail. Nintendo is the reason gaming is where it is. They did shoulder buttons, analog stick, and rumble first. Nevermind the revolutionary games they create.

In that sense, yes. But I don't really want a whole company to go bankrupt, I just want a change of attitude. Problem is, this is impossible.

If things happened how gamers wanted then the whole industry would just fail.

So many people these days want things to fail just so they can gloat here on SW just for it to be forgotten in 5 minutes. I have no personal interest in the WiiU or any next gen console but I don't want them to fail, that's just childish and stupid

Talk is cheap, I'll believe it when I see it! It'd blow my mind if the next Mario was downloadable direct to the console, like Gears 3 is on Xbox Live... this IS Nintendo and online we are talking about here :P

no...they will accept change but only if the company of their choice invents it first.

motion controls in any way will always be hated by sony and MS fanboys because nintendo invented it.

Why don't Sony and MS fanboys hate analogue sticks and rumble and shoulder buttons so, which Nintendo brought out on N64 and SNES? Could it be there is no conspiracy, and it's that motion controls suck 99% of the time :shock:
