Because they know that despite your constant complaints and untested judgements, you'll buy one anyways for their first party games. The Wii U isn't going to be capable of rivaling the next gen in graphics, they're not going to get every third party multiplat and that will make you mad, but you'll still get the machine in the end, and it's going to sell more systems and software than Sony and Microsoft. Deal with it.

Joke's on you for buying something you hate on the internet. :twisted:

If it's anything like the Wii's first party support, I'll be passing. Nintendo's been playing it safer than MS even (which is pretty hard to do).

The GameCube proved that Nintendo couldn't reach the core audience with their games... that's why their next console was purely based on a gimmick, was cheap and aimed towards the casual's and Nintendo cashed in.... fast foward 6 years and here's WiiU? guess what... its based around a gimmick, is cheap and aimed towards the casual's. GameCube was the last time you will ever see a Nintendo console with a third party exclusive as big as Resident Evil 4.

No. If they sold more systems than the competition just because of their first party games, don't you think the Gamecube would have fared better? Wii sold well due to its casual appeal. If Nintendo wants to recapture the hardcore audience, they NEED to care about what people think(or at least some of them), otherwise Wii U will wind up going the route of Gamecube....or worse.

I will buy it because as you stated I love their IPs, and for a little while its going to be the graphically superior console, however given that MS and SONY will still have current gen consoles this year I wont be expecting much better looking third party games and will eventually acquire MS and Sony's consoles. The matter of which being first will depend on their vision. And if nintendo doesnt works hard enough the wii u will end up like my wii, a somewhat used party system.

Caring what people think though is fragile ground, one man's gold could be another man's rubbish in that case. There is far to many opinions to listen to out there when you consider how many people game on a regular basis. Nintendo need to do there own thing and see where it takes them, I would say the WiiU is an experiment of sort for them to see if they can capture different audiences with different things and at the same time keep enough people happy for it to be good for business.

Nintendo obviously can't please everyone, especially the fanboys who want Ninty to be exactly like the company or platform they treasure. In the end they'll make a boatload of cash, probably win the generation and keep on keepin' on. So what are you haters going to do about it? :lol:

Who know's... honestly I hope it does well in terms of games and as a gamer I would buy it for them but NOT until there's 5 games that aren't on any other console and that may take 1 year or 2.

I guess you like getting f***ed ovr by a company that refuses to have a decent system with ecent games, controller, or online play, you actually think it's funny too. I don't see what you get out of Nintendo being successful if they don't even get their sales from good games, but instead from garbage rehashes. You're such a blind Nintendrone that all you care about is your precious Nintendo doing good in sales.

Why not, your precious Sony made it? Look here, tons of people enjoy Nintendo games and system, lots more of them than Sony games and systems. You not liking them is your opinion and your right, but in no way is any of your comments even close to facts.

Fact is, there are many millions of Nintendo fans, a very successful Nintendo company with much success in their future. There's not a thing you or any hater can do to change that fact. In years to come, Nintendo fans will continue to be happy playing their games, Nintendo as a company will continue making games and systems, and you'll be a long-forgotten troll who's laughable comments will be lost somewhere along the internet time line.

Nintendo doesn't even make games anymore, they make rehashes, motion control garbage, and minigame collections. Their fans are now casual gamers who don't care about gaming. I don't see how you can even take Nintendo seriously.

Kids would want the Wii:U and parents will force to buy them.
Gamers that have the nostalgic factor would want to relive and play as Zelda and Mario again.

Wii:U will sell, but not like the Wii.

It does not DESERVE to sell.
The developers and indie developers who work hard to produce great games and ones that move the industry deserve the credit.

Those people already own WiiFit, what's the incentive to purchase a new system for a sequel that is likely only a marginal improvement?

And Nintendo does not produce great games as well, or had platforms like the DS that cater to third-party developers? While I agree that Nintendo needs to step up in several aspects, I would say making a controller like the Wii U tablet is taking a huge risk. Let's be honest, Nintendo could have easily taken the approach of making a system that blew the 360 and PS3 out of the water in terms of power, had a controller that was like the 360 pad, and copied Xbox Live and people would complain that its not original enough.

People may not like the direction Nintendo is taking, but the Wii U tablet is a huge risk. But if successful, it may force Sony and Microsoft's hands and convince them to offer a tablet controller with their next-gen systems as well. Graphics will eventually hit a wall in how far you can take them, and the other features of modern systems are at their limits in terms of innovation.

But yet, somehow, people think Nintendo does not deserve any credit if the Wii U tablet pushes the other two hardware makers to go past the controller design that has been in place with the SNES. I'll agree with the mindset that the Wii Remote was gimmicky, but the Tablet controller offers some real potential that could enhance games further.

So far, people have only focused on the graphics on the Wii U and dismissed the tablet controller as being nothing more then a gimmick. But let's look at the larger picture for a second. If the Wii U is successful and developers embrace ther tablet, we could see a change in how games are developed and something that could truly enhance how people play games. Do graphics and things like that matter? Yes, but their a limit on how realistic you can make clothing or water work.

With the Tablet, you will see gaming enter a new era where the gameplay goes beyond a TV screen. The Wii U tablet is the first of its kind on a game system. But if successful, Microsoft and Sony will have the incentive to develop their own versions that refine the idea that Nintendo started.

And here's the thing, if the Wii U tablet replaces or supplements the current controller and changes how people play games, then dones't Nintendo deserve the credit? Nintendo is taking a huge risk, but if successful, they could create a new wave of innovation in newer systems that goes beyond simply making things look better.

The developers and indie developers who work hard to produce great games and ones that move the industry deserve the credit.
Nintendo is like taking a candy from a baby.

And Nintendo does not produce great games as well, or had platforms like the DS that cater to third-party developers? While I agree that Nintendo needs to step up in several aspects, I would say making a controller like the Wii U tablet is taking a huge risk. Let's be honest, Nintendo could have easily taken the approach of making a system that blew the 360 and PS3 out of the water in terms of power, had a controller that was like the 360 pad, and copied Xbox Live and people would complain that its not original enough.

People may not like the direction Nintendo is taking, but the Wii U tablet is a huge risk. But if successful, it may force Sony and Microsoft's hands and convince them to offer a tablet controller with their next-gen systems as well. Graphics will eventually hit a wall in how far you can take them, and the other features of modern systems are at their limits in terms of innovation.

But yet, somehow, people think Nintendo does not deserve any credit if the Wii U tablet pushes the other two hardware makers to go past the controller design that has been in place with the SNES. I'll agree with the mindset that the Wii Remote was gimmicky, but the Tablet controller offers some real potential that could enhance games further.

So far, people have only focused on the graphics on the Wii U and dismissed the tablet controller as being nothing more then a gimmick. But let's look at the larger picture for a second. If the Wii U is successful and developers embrace ther tablet, we could see a change in how games are developed and something that could truly enhance how people play games. Do graphics and things like that matter? Yes, but their a limit on how realistic you can make clothing or water work.

With the Tablet, you will see gaming enter a new era where the gameplay goes beyond a TV screen. The Wii U tablet is the first of its kind on a game system. But if successful, Microsoft and Sony will have the incentive to develop their own versions that refine the idea that Nintendo started.

And here's the thing, if the Wii U tablet replaces or supplements the current controller and changes how people play games, then dones't Nintendo deserve the credit? Nintendo is taking a huge risk, but if successful, they could create a new wave of innovation in newer systems that goes beyond simply making things look better.

Way too much time wasted on a goddyX post man. I'm certain the guy hasn't even touched a Nintendo platform or game since the N64.

Kids would want the Wii:U and parents will force to buy them.
Gamers that have the nostalgic factor would want to relive and play as Zelda and Mario again.

My comments aren't only directed at him, but to many people who are calling the tablet controller a gimmick. I can understand people who don't want to see gaming move past the current controllers or not liking the Wii U's horsepower due to not being a huge jump over the PS3 or 360(from what we've seen so far)

But people seem to be dismissing the tablet controller far too easily. This is not like the Wiimote where it could be dismissed as a wagglefest. From all looks, the Wii U tablet has all the buttons found on modern controllers along with a screen that opens up new possibilities. Its rather annoying to see "hardcore" games dismiss it as something for casuals or a cheap gimmick that Nintendo is shoving down our throats. Thing is, this opens up a new avenue for games and if successful, has the potential to enhance games beyond what the current controllers offer.

I just hope people would stop and think about this for a second. Its one thing to attack the Wii U over potential third-party support, rehashes of Mario games, and the graphics. But to call the tablet a gimmick without stopping to consider how it could move gaming forward, is very shor-sighted in my opinion.

So, my comments are not directed at just him. They are directed at people who are beating the drums of this being a gimmick.

You know, I find it VERY ironic when people bash Nintendo for rehash and yet the same is happening with their comments.

Granted, I think everyone has rehashed something they've said before (including myself), but still...

Nintendo sells the fewest amount of games per console (obviously gamers don't buy them). :o
