Don't they all create artificial scarcity? They have months to produce plenty of Xbox ones and PS4's now. I bet they'll still 'sell out' in days.
I was actually supporting the use of cartridges, because of load times and sturdyness. I still prefer cartridges over discs. Now I use flash and USB sticks instead of discs for everything I can.
That article made in response was fantastic. It's good to see these professional Nintendo-haters fall flat on their face again. And again.

Pfft this article could have been written by Timbers himself.

MAJOR games where otherwise would have been NINTENDO EXCLUSIVES ...jumped to PS as ..exclusives!! Small examples... FINAL FANTASY 7 !! The list of games/developers which did exactly the same is huge !

How can you say you were supporting cartridges because of load times when your console was losing major exclusives and multis because of drive restrictions? Its not about hate , its about fact !! Its FACT what "killed" N64. It was this cartdridge limitations that made developers focus on CDs , aka Playstation. So its not about Nintendo haters ...its about how much sensitive Nintendo fanboys are nowdays that wont admit the obvious.

From the N64 up until the Wii, 3rd parties had actual valid reasons as to not putting their games on those platforms.

With the N64 and GC, it was game media storage. The carts and mini-DVDs were mor expensive and held far less data than the CD and DVD respectively.

The Wii was 1/7 to 1/10 as powerful as the competition and it had the same feature-set as the GameCube (from 1998).

 

These excuses are no longer valid with the Wii U. It has the same feature-set as the X1 and the PS4 despite them being 2x and 3x more powerful than the Wii U respectively. It's nowhere near as underpowered as the Wii was. The Wii U also has propriatery blu-ray discs which are 25GB per layer. Even if they're only one layer, and second disc couldn't be as costly as the mini-DVDs or carts. Hell, people can simply download the game on eShop if the don't want fool with discs.

The cpu in the WiiU is a power pc cpu while the xbox one and ps4's cpu's are X86's processors.This will make porting to the console harder. Also the weird way it is designed with the cpu caches and etc.

Has anyone even read this response to the first part of the thread, yet?

I had 2 360's, 2 PS3's, and a Wii U. I am getting rid, or have got rid of everything but one 360. That is all I am keeping. (And the games of course.) I do have about 4 Wii U games, maybe 5 but I got rid of the Wii U as well. I am gonna wait for more games, a price drop, and a bigger hard drive. That isn't all of my PS3 games. I have more. I am selling it separately except for the one pic with the box. I am selling that on Craigslist....hopefully.

Excellent read, TC. But you could have made it in a blog. 

The way I see it, Nintendo is trying to repeat the huge sales it made with the Wii. 

But the Wii was a console that focused on casual gamers and it worked. The problem that Nintendo created was that they didn't realize that casuals were not willing to buy another console that just looked like an update (WiiU + bad marketing). 

To make things worse, PS4 and XBone have similar architecture, something that can ease the work for developers to create the same game for these platforms. Different story with the WiiU, considering the weak processing power (compared to the others) and the few adopters of this console. It's simple to conclude where the focus of the developers will be.

Nintendo's WiiU days are already grim. Only time will tell how far will the WiiU fall. :roll:

Blah Blah more Nintendo is doomed as usual. People in 20 years will be writing the same thing all over again.

So, what's your problem?
