Sony on Wii U: "What if you have a family of six?"

Hey Sony, yeah, what if? Doesn't the PS3 only support 4 people locally?

Leave it up to Sony PR department... :roll:

Hey Sony...some of the Move games require 2 controllers..what if you have more than 3 people in your family?

coasterguy65

Easy, just make sure to use condoms and you want have that problem

:D

Don't worry, nintendo fanboys don't have to worry about making families, most of them live with their parents in their basements /Thread.Ninja_Odin

But Sony doesnt support 6 controllers either. Im not a fanboy and i dont live in a basement with my parents. All gamers are too busy playing games rather than making families.

Professional trolling. He has a point. Its one of my biggest problems with the wiiUAndrovinus

yeah same here, i also worried for the online and price. I am sure we wont see a kinda "xbox live" service.

Whow whow whow, is this true

"One such snippet of information is that the Wii U will not come with multiple Wii U controllers – the sort that have the touch screen in the middle. Additional players in multiplayer games will instead use WiiMotes, andthe main controller will not be available separately."

If so (main controler not avalible seperatly), then bull ******** ***** Nintendo. WTF wrong with you

If i have a family of 6, I guarantee only 2 of them play video games. Atleast basing that off of being raised in a family of 4, i was the only one that gamed. I would be curious to find a real statistic of just how many family's of 6 or more have more than 2 family members playing video games regularlygamer620

Since the 4th Generation we always purchased two consoles that gen we had Genesis and SNES; then the gen after that we had a PS1 and N64; the 6th gen we had three consoles a Dreamcast, Playstation 2, and GCN.

Wait wait... Huh?

What does he mean exactly? What is this? You can't play with more than one Ucontroller in front of the tv? Is this true?--maybe I've been living under a rock. One controller per unit? That's the ultimatum?

What the hell kind of design decision is that? What the hell.

The first time I saw the controller I was actually imagining all the possibilities it could offer with local play--there's a lot of stuff developers could do there. Are you serious? Or am I reading this wrong?

I'm sorry but if this is true, I have to question wth is in Nintendo's mind right now. What the hell are they doing? Dimishing the concept of local play? Sound like something Sony would do a gen ago, not now and especially not by Nintendo.

But seriously, wth?

But so far they can only get the system to work with one tablet at a time. But for people to have 5 players at a time they need 4 Wii Remote Plus and 1 Wii U tablet.

In a wide-ranging interview with GI.biz, House also commented on Nintendo's use of PlayStation 3 footage to showcase in-development Wii U titles.

"The only thing I've got to say is mimicry is the is the highest form of flattery," he said.

Ross_the_Boss6

Haha...yeah and that number could go up and up. If they had 12 controller inputs, Sony would say 'what if you have a family of 13?'

To be honest, any one who has 6 kids needs to stop treating their vagina like a f***ing clown car.

Nintendo_Ownes7

Yeah that I did get and apparently that will be the case. I mean, I'm not anyone to say what Nintendo should do with the WiiU, they should know what they're doing, but I can't sugarcoat it for them, and I won't. This sounds like a missed opportunity to me.

Sure you can play with other Wiimotes, but I don't know, what is the point of restricting you of playing with more than one WiiUmote per system? And please people--not you Nintendo_Ownes--don't give me any crap about the console's name--WiiU: As solely for you. What the hell kind of thought process is that?

There are people still interested in local play out there, it's far from dead. They went from a console about bringing people together, to have one person playing solo with the WiiU controller--yes I'm whining. But I don't see a good design decision here--at least not one exercised by professionals.

Now if its a hardware problem, or restriction like you're saying, I can kind of understand. But yeah, they better fix it.

He brings a good point. However Just because sony is trying to revive local multiplayer (Now) with uncharted 2 lan and their new same screen 3d tec doesnt mean Ive forgotten the past 3 years of little to no local multiplayer games.

R2, Lbp and modnation are the only exceptions

Yeah I guess I'll have to go on my PS3 and play all Sony's 6 player games. Not-A-Stalker

Then Sony is the biggest flatterer in the gaming industry. They seriously have no idea of their own...

Valve and hundreds of companies on the PC in non-gaming industries....

Sony, The only game you have that's for a Family of Six is a Game called "BUZZ!"......Heck, Actually I think that game is a 4 player only game too.

Don't even.

Besides, Nintendo could always go back on their statement and Sell the Controller individually.

There's certainly an Unfair Advantage to those with the Tablet than those without one.

Well I have a family of six, but its not exactly like your commercial family sitting around a game system with smiles on their faces.

So...No worries for me I suppose; if I even decide to buy a wii-u that is. Plus, lol, move ain't exactly cheap.

i'd wager a lot of families of six are quite rich

Nintendo has said their still deciding on whether it will support more than one.ThePlothole

Um, does Sony know that Nintendo did not confirm the "one tablet only" thing yet? They said they are researching this.nintendoboy16

Hey Sony, who who was that console maker that decided to only put two controller ports on their system when rival systems were packing four?ThePlothole

:lol:

They did have multitap though.

You mean how they have had cloud service for months on PS+ and how they showed cloud being used on VIta to save a game and continue it on the PS3 ast the E3 presentation the night before Wii-U was even announced? So, who had the idea first?

TruthBToldShow

What does Cloud even have to do with this topic? Regardless STEAM Cloud has been around since 2008 man.

Sony's reps never pass up the chance to take cheap stabs at the competition. So tasteless and desperate.

Also, those of us who don't really play well with others and prefer single-player gameplay take no issue with this one-controller deal.

In addition, you can either take turns playing single-player games (on your own), deal with using the Wii remotes, or play online co-op or multiplayer.

My response would be "So Sony, how are those 6 player games treating ya"

Well, when they rip it off from Nintendo, they can solve that problem.

We got flooded again, so the STICKY enforcement is back.
