Nintendo president: Wii U sales 'not bad'

@JackHoleFace00 @UnbornCorpser Apparently Microsoft didn't learn their lesson from their "gimmicky" Kinect.

@UnbornCorpser @JackHoleFace00

I got your "proof" right here, you oblivious fool:

http://www.videogamer.com/wiiu/nintendo_land/news/wii_u_software_attach_rate_just_1_2_at_us_launch.html

An attachment rate of 1.2 at launch. That's pathetic. 360 and PS3 had an attachment rate of over 4 at launch. So yes, I do know $h!t about anything, you twit.

As for the graphics, clearly my point sailed right over your head, so I'll say it again: yes, they are better... because they SHOULD be considering Wii U costs more MONEY and PS3 and Xbox are SIX YEARS OLD.

Who's the ass now?? Wake up and stop kidding yourself with your blind Nintendo fanboy patriotism.

@JackHoleFace00 @UnbornCorpser The fuck are you getting your statistics from? You monitor every freakin' store across the entire planet & know who returns their systems or don't touch it anymore? Please you obviously don't know shit about anything.

First off the Wii U does have better graphics the GPU is better in the Wii U than the PS3/360. The CPU is not as good meaning it can't display as many things on screen at any given time. That is kind of bullshit but don't be saying that Wii U doesn't have better graphics when it obviously does.

In any case since you have 100% proof that everyone in the entire planet is over the Wii U show it otherwise don't bring in statements that make you look like an ass.

@Thanatos2k @homestarmy6 Isn't this the reason that the Wii's eShop was dead upon arrival? There was a minuscule filesize limit due to the lack of storage. Not that they're repeating that mistake.

@Nerdstick @emptycow @eternalcube 

There are tons of people like that :P Many just don't want to go through the trouble of building their own PC and "enthusiasts" would probably get it just because it's from Valve. 

@abHS4L88 @emptycow @eternalcube I can't see why anybody that would be interested in a Valve Box wouldn't just buy a PC -right now-, unless they're part of the Apple crowd that buy hardware for the name alone.

@UnbornCorpser @Thanatos2k @Metronoid Rumorville. Personally, as long as Sony/Microsoft don't make the mistake of trying to bundle Move/Kinect with the next consoles, the WiiU might be left with a similar power disadvantage to the Wii that'll kill all 3rd gen support. Not that that's really a problem, WiiU's best left to WiiU games rather than ports, as the launch library shows.

@UnbornCorpser @Thanatos2k @Metronoid So you're just making up crap now?

@alrepairs @abHS4L88 @dreamfist11 @wcwj26 You clearly hate the Xbox... but I don't understand why, even after reading your entire diatribe. I had the first Xbox and liked it fine. Passed on the 360, but it's alright. But some of the things you say are just completely irrational and untrue. Microsoft abandoning the PC?? On the contrary, they're probably the only company still trying to prop up the PC in the face of Apple devices, Android tablets, etc. As for the Xbox sales variance in US vs. Japan, who cares? The US is a much larger market to begin with, and 360 has been the top selling console here for almost 3 years in a row now.

And why are you talking about things like the original Xbox controller being too big? That only lasted like a year, and that was like 11 years ago! Funny thing is I own a PS3 and not a 360, but your hatred towards the Xbox brand is just... weird.

 @alrepairs I agree with the Sony, Nintendo balance. But as for MGS, that's Konami's doing not Sony.

 @dreamfist11 Lucky since the 80's eh???

@emptycow @alrepairs@dreamfist11 @wcwj26 

If you're talking to me, I love how everything positive I said about the XBox just flew over your head since all you see me as is a Nintendo fanboy when I'm actually someone with competent knowledge of pretty much every major gaming system, unlike you who sucks on your XBox at night. 

Look how you say the XBox had the best third party support, uh no, the PS2's third party support completely crushed the XBox and Gamecube. The main reason why the original XBox did well was for two things: 1) Halo and 2) XBox Live. Just because 3rd party games looked better on the XBox didn't mean it had the best support, if that's true then I'm sure you'd have no problems saying that the Gamecube had better 3rd party support than the PS2 because 3rd party games also looked and ran better on the Gamecube compared to the PS2. Two of the biggest multiplatform games on that time, Resident Evil 4 and Soul Calibur 2 were highly preferred on the Gamecube compared to the other consoles. 

@emptycow @alrepairs @dreamfist11 @wcwj26 

I'm sorry, I don't recall ever not saying that. I'm pretty sure I was complimenting the XBox earlier, especially in a conversation with dreamfist11 yesterday that I know you saw. But it's okay, you can continue to prove what an XBox lover you are. 

@alrepairs @abHS4L88 @dreamfist11 @wcwj26 sony took everything from the xbox 360  if you dont remember the xbox was the first system to have a built in harddrive  and a  real os  they even had something called xbox live arcade back in 2003 on the first xbox the system also had awesome graphics  Halo and Ninja Gaiden were just to of the many great games on the first xbox  the first xbox also had the best 3rd party games all the 3rd party games on the ps2 always looked and played way better on the xbox  so yea  and the gamecube was a huge fail  so if you are going to trash talk talk about the gamecube

@alrepairs @dreamfist11 @wcwj26 blah the first xbox was way ahead of its time you are to stupid to see it  

 @alrepairs  @dreamfist11  @wcwj26 

Lol, Microsoft is pretty much doomed to not even being worth considered competition in the East but I mean, the fact that they've found success in North America and Europe makes up for it anyways. 

But if I agree that the original XBox was a disaster, I'd also have to agree that the Gamecube was a complete and utter failure since it did worse than the XBox worldwide :P

 @abHS4L88  @dreamfist11  @wcwj26 Ah, you disagree that Xbox wasn't a disaster...I see.  You're probably right, and my hatred primarily stems from Microsoft's relentless greed and PC abandonment ^^.  G4WL is a horrid abomination..and they don't want to create a formula that encourages people to buy their games, like Steampowered, instead complains about piracy.

 Xbox and Xbox 360 are completely destroyed in the East. The original Xbox had numerous complaints of the gamepad and console being too big, despite having a LAN connection for netplay.   I'm not talking about Japanese who live in the west...i'm referring to the Eastern hemisphere entirely.

They only sell less than 1 thousand units a week...the most being 2 thousand.

I...HATE the Xbox -_-.

 @alrepairs  @dreamfist11  @wcwj26 

I disagree, while the XBox was basically dead in the east, Microsoft used their expertise in software and took advantage of the online market, which was the main appeal of the XBox along with Halo. 

The 360 was a massive step up from the original XBox despite only coming out 4 years later and part of the 360's success was luck due to the failure of the PS3's launch which drove many PS2 users to the 360. 

Aside from that luck, Microsoft continued to push the importance of online play and an online store which Sony and Nintendo both recognized as very important features (Nintendo of course caught on a later than Sony). 

For the 8th generation though, Microsoft will be in trouble if they don't change the way XBL is from the subscription, to the way it's ran with developers, especially Indie since Sony and Nintendo have both stepped up along with the inevitable entry of Value's Steam Box, if that's a success, Microsoft would be the one to suffer the most. 

BUT we'll just have to wait and see, so far we've never seen more than 3 consoles succeed during any generation so it's going to be interesting to see what impact the Steam Box (and maybe Ouya) will have. I, for one, want to see 4 successful consoles, maybe 5 but I highly doubt that will happen. 

 @dreamfist11  @wcwj26 I think that "luck" also happened with the 360.  Xbox 1 was hilariously bad, with Halo and Ninja Gaiden not being enough to drive up-sell.

Though Sony is going a bummer route, they are still the King of tech, to my eyes.  Nintendo is like..the cracked out and open minded side for video games...regardless of being much less powerful these days.

Sony had been the reason we have Solid Snake in 3d form with Raiden to begin with, and taking game script into a realistic sense with CG video animations was revolutionary (Not the Sega CD which didn't offer the same experience).  Metal Gear for NES was also great.

To be blunt, XBOX should have never existed.  Sony and Nintendo are liked in both Eastern and Western culture despite infused drama, but evidence clearly shows the lackluster performance of the XBox in Japan.  It isn't even mentioned.  Video games from XBox are dumped in trash bins, labeled "junk".

I dunno man.   Gaming PC's were cheap as hell back then, and still gave you a hardcore experience...until Microsoft attacked the console space.
