In sales terms, Wii U is simply Gamecube with some additional casual users. They probably added and lost additional Nintendo fans since then, but unfortunately for Nintendo they lost most of their casual Wii users to phones, tablets, and Kinect.
I have to side with Axl on this one. Activision has done this numerous times because they know they can either win the lawsuit because of their top tier lawyers or just pay a sum out after the fact because they still make way more from the likenesses and songs than they pay out after.
@thequickshooter @Meta-Gnostic You won't be saying that when your PS4 can be backwards compatible with every previous PS due to Gaikai, you're able to play the games on any device, and you can play games that otherwise you would have had to wait 2 more generations for. MS will do it too, Sony just got there first.
MS spends $8.5 Billion on Skype and plans to integrate it into Xbox. Sony spends ~$385 Million on Gaikai and plans to integrate it into PS. That right there shows where MS and Sony's priorities are for next gen gaming.
Xbox what game should I play? Halo. Xbox what game should I play? Gears. Xbox what game should I play? Forza. Xbox what game should I play? No response.
