If Nintendo regains core third party support, would we need a PS4 and Xbox 720?

"Nintendo doesn't care about power" "3rd parties hate Nintendo consoles" "I only buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games" "If you want 3rd party games, you buy another console" "Nintendo is kiddy"

If Nintendo successfully puts all these stigmas to rest with their next console, what would be the point of getting PS4 and Xbox 720? PC ports? Halo? 2160p? Overhyped Sony exclusives? :P

Nintendo never really had core third party support. Nintendo has always had this problem because they, unlike their competitors, develop a lot of their own games. Nintendo's next system could have the best online and graphicsin the world and still not get the 3rd party support that Sony and Microsoft enjoy.

Based on past consoles... No.

PS4 for sony exclusives? XBox 720 for MS exclusives? People bought wii for nintendo exclusives, why wouldnt they for the other console manufacterers.

I won't.

Hell, I probably won't anyway. PC and Cafe for me next gen, unless MS/Sony really blow me away and give me reasons I just have to have their systems.

yes, because not everyone prefers to play on a nintendo console. i do, but not everyone.

we won't need a 720 (or whatever it's called) regardless.

next gen, I think i'm sticking with nintendo only. the rumored system specs have got me so hyped for it :D can't wait for e3.

If this leaked list is true, then they would have regained 3rd party support.

When was the last time a Nintendo console actually had as much third party titles as their competitors? DroidPhysX

When was the last time third parties were multiplating their games SO much? ;)

Nathan Drake spits on you! lol I will likely get a PS4 for the exclusives, but PC is first and foremost, and I am hoping to become a big Nintendo fan again (I like them, but the Wii dissapointed) with the Cafe.

Nintendo will have the most powerful console and will get a ton of 3rd party support for sure but.. their network sucks!!! PSN may be lacking when compared to XBL but Nintendos network "plz insert name here" is terrible!!! What are they doing about this, or do they even recognize this as an issue?

Until the PS4 and 720 is released.

Yes, because we need competition. Plus I doubt that most 3rd party games will be exclusive to Project Cafe, seeing as we've seen most 3rd party games being multiplat between the 360 & PS3 due to higher development costs. Not to mention that development costs will probably go even higher next gen.

well, I am a one console man :P If I knew that the cafe would be getting all of the multiplats the ps4 did, as well as nintendo's incredible exclusives then that'd be all I needed.

I am sure that the ps4 will be an excellent console though. :)

Yes, but we still needed the gamecube and xbox because they gave us some great games, just as we would still need a sony and MS console for their contributions to next gen.

It sounds like the next Nintendo will be a half step at best towards the next generation. That means it will limit itself to limited 3rd party support over the life of the console. It will get Xbox 360/PS3 ports then will get few next Xbox/PS4 ports (if any). KC_Hokie

That's right, you don't own a Wii this gen do you? Pfft I own both the Wii and the PS4 in addition to my main platform the PC ;). Get the with times man :P. After this gen, following Uncharted and other titlese (mainly Uncharted), I don't think I could not buy the PS4, same goes for the Cafe with their games (Zelda mainly).

[QUOTE="7suarez7"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Consoles caught between generations while trying to appeal to 'core' gamers don't do well. Based on the preliminary reports the next Nintendo is a half step at best towards the next generation. KC_Hokie

I know, I should have a wii :P here's what happened. the wii was my only console for the first 2 years of this gen, but then 2009 was such a bad year for the wii I had to sell it for the ps3. I didn't have a lot of money, (wasn't old enough to work) so that was the only thing I could have done, instead of just buying the ps3 and keeping my wii.

I'll just wait for the cafe, and get the top wii titles I missed from 2010 onwards :) eh, I'll probably end up getting the ps4 as well, with sony's incredible dev teams I'll surely miss out on a lot if I don't get it :P

That won't happen. At least not with Western developers. I can even see Square making a main Final Fantasy title for Cafe along with the other consoles (hell, they even gave Nintendo the Dragon Quest exclusivity for this gen, which is an even bigger deal for Square than Final Fantasy, at least in Japan) and many Japanese developers will support it, but Western developers won't. There were no technical reasons for the Gamecube not getting a GTA game, but it still didn't. And no, Mini DVDs were not the reason. I've checked several ISO sites and games like San Andreas, GTA 3 and Vice City would fit in there nicely.

Western developers don't like platforms with lots of first party exclusives. If they can avoid them, they will.

[QUOTE="7suarez7"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Based on the preliminary specs the next Nintendo is barely more powerful than the PS3/Xbox 360 and therefore more of a half step towards the next generation (like the Sega Dreamcast). KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="7suarez7"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]The source who leaked the next Nintendo (and was right) back in April also added it was a bit more powerful than the Xbox 360.KC_Hokie

Yet it is still nothing official from Nintendo. Also, what Cafe "rumours" was it correct on? We've yet to even SEE the Cafe, lmao. IGN said it will be at least 3 times as powerful as 360, IGN. Now we have this new spec sheet showing it to be 6x as powerful. We shall see in 6 days.7suarez7

IGN even stated that the 3DS is just about as powerful as a 360, but it really isn't. I doubt that they'll be right about the Project Cafe's specs.

[QUOTE="7suarez7"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]The source never listed specific specs but did state the next Nintendo isn't much more powerful than the Xbox 360. And this source was correct on the Nintendo Cafe rumors and NGP specs.KC_Hokie

You mean the controller we are yet to see? Ok. And if it IS 6x 360 would you agree that it IS a next gen console? Anything from 4-6x is enough for me.7suarez7

Nintendo has been pretty much terrible with online features for the last two generations. Until they have some semblence of a cohesive online strategy I would never be satisfied with just their console.
