I would never buy a console at launch due to the reasons you mentioned. Hell, even when I bought my PS3 in August '07 after the first $100 price drop it was still a barebones, overpriced console with barely any games to play. I played nothing but Ninja Gaiden Sigma for 2 months once I had my PS3 and probably completed the game 12 times since there was nothing else to play.BPoole96
The only console I bought on launch day was the PS2. Huge mistake. I couldn't even find a memory card for it for a month, so I was stuck playing single Madden games until I could find one!
I haven't since, nor will I ever buy a console on launch day since then. I don't care about being one of the first people to own one. It's just not worth it.
The wiitards are out in full force defending the crap that is nintendo. I agree I cant stand nintendo anymore, the wii had 3 games i enjoyed the whole gen. Not buying a wiiu.

Speaks more to your own lack of taste in games that you could only find 3 games you liked for it, huh?
Hilarious...only on the interwebs can you find a place where fun and challenge without blood, swearing and objectification of women is considrered "for children".
[QUOTE="HarlockJC"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] Like I said, there's always a small control group who likes the game regardless of nostalgia. and you cant even compare the nostalgia from mario with the nostalgia from crash, contra, sonic or double dragon. none of those games were as popular as mario, and mario is older, from a time when people didn't had videogame standards.lightleggy
Contra was rather large for it's time. What kept Mario current is good sequels. Look at gamerankings the number 1 highest scoring game of all time is SMG and the number 3 is SMG2. NGMB as a score of almost 85% on gamerankings. There more than just nostalgia behind these games, they are really good and high quality games. As long as Nintendo keeps up the quality of the games there will always be people who want more like myself. So again I really would love to see Nintendo make more new IPs as long as they do it without taking away from the quality I come to love from the Mario games. The fact that gameranking said SMG is the best game of all time just made them lose all credibility.
Kind of like how having a My Little Pony avatar makes you lose all credibility, right? ;)
Hey, as long as people are stupid enough to pay for something that every other competitor offers for free, there's no reason for MS to stop charging. I wouldn't be surprised if they raised the cost with the next console claiming "bandwidth costs" or some crap.
