In fairness, I took good care of my PS3, real good care.. and it still died on me.

Well, you know..

I think anyone would feel that the PS4 will probably do better after that E3 smack down.

If people keep getting louder and louder about why they hate Microsoft's policies, a good deal of them could also be swayed by the momentum.

@Jasurim

Pretty much the internet's sentiments right there.

@Lhomity @bunchanumbers @TalesOfGod That's not really a choice to be made by Americans. Most Americans are well aware that corporations run this country. They're making those decisions(along with the wealthy), not the people. Just like they picked the President and all possible candidates.. but that's just me being Captain Obvious.

Nintendo always makes profits off of consoles. That's Nintendo business 101.

What the reports are stating is that Nintendo isn't where we all expected them to be with the Wii U (on top, that is). There doesn't seem to be very much demand for the console, not nearly as much as Nintendo thought, so their profit forecast isn't very high since they aren't selling very many.

Stale is putting it lightly.

I think that they almost broke the whole thing. A la what Sega did to Sonic. (Generations was a beautiful game and very well put together, but by then the audience had left. No one trusted the brand and the game didn't sell so well)

@JaxxRaxor

I don't know.

I don't think that the same audience is still there for the Wii U. I think they've moved on to smartphones and the like.

@MasterTheHero

To be honest, they don't.

I don't know.

One could make the argument that they did this same thing 7 or 8 years back. Why should they be trusted after all that? Who knows if they're being honest? Who knows if the game will quietly be delayed till the PS5 launch?

It may seem negative, but I think that the company's best days are behind them. They tarnished the franchise.
