The Wii-U will probably have a price drop around Christmas of this year. I also expect them to bundle it with New Super Mario Bros. like they did with the Wii version. It'll be going up against the PS4 and next Xbox this Christmas, so Nintendo has to do something.

I knew good and well the Wii-U was going to sell poorly at the start, the confusing name, the fact that everyone now has a PS3 or 360, and the poor launch library didn't help. Many casuals don't even know this is a new system, like the controller is just another accessory similar to the Wii fitness mat. |

The only reason the Wii sold well was because Nintendo created a shortage. I worked at Best Buy when it launched. We'd get maybe 6 once every few weeks and we'd sell out instantly. It's rarity made it a wanted item. What kept it going after that was little kids loved it. But little kids already have it so Mom and Dad aren't going to drop cash on a new one.
Less casual gamers won't either as from what I can tell it can now just manage next gen graphics and has a whacky controller. Oh boy I can rebuy Arkham City with some stupid armor and the same graphics as the 360 version I've owned since launch. I mean I know graphics aren't eveything but when is Nintendo going to start developing ahead of the curve again? I loved my Gamecube and I still play it. Had no reason to touch much Nintendo since. My short time owning a Wii it was used for Netflix more then anything. |

Probably not going to buy a Wii-U till around Christmas of this year when there's hopefully a price drop. If the next 3D Mario comes out in the Fall, that and Pikmin 3 would be enough to convince me to buy the system.
I'd also get New Super Mario Bros. U, and perhaps that Wonderful 101 game if it turns out to be good. The Yoshi Yarn game looks to be interesting, just hope its more challenging than Kirby's epic yarn was. |

My Wii U is gathering dust since I'm so busy with Ni No Kuni and playing my 3DS and Vita. But LEGO City: Undercover is coming very soon and it looks fantastic. There's some stuff coming later in the year, I'm not worried. I'm happy to own one.
If Nintendo's ship sinks, I'm happy to go down with them ![]() These days I own every platform except XBox, and going forward, I'll probably buy the PS4 and continue to keep my gaming PC upgraded. May skip the next XBox as well, but it all depends on what games and features are shown. Even if Sony and MS totally eff up next gen gaming with BS DRM, destroying the used game market, requiring fees for online, or whatever else, I'm not worried. On the PC side things continue to get stronger. Lots of games getting crowdsourced funding on places like kickstrter, the rise of indie games thanks to the success of Minecraft and strong support on Steam... every time I turn around there's some interesting new games being released I'd never even heard about before. Proud to be a PC gamer. |

The future of video games is the present of video games. Great!

Hey, we dont want you to think we can only do sequels, so here are some games that are sequels without the numerical value indication.

PS4 looks like a technological powerhouse...to play games that we've already played.

At least their focus is still mainly on games.

I can agree that at least Sony has the vision to preserve the classic model of "THIS IS A CONTROLLER, USE IT TO MOVE YOUR ANDROGYNOUS PROTAGONIST WHILE GOING 'UGUU~AM I KAWAII YET?'"

I think the PS4 looks great. I have to wonder what people expect these days.
The Wii U comes out, and everyone says, "Weird controller, whoopdeedoo." The PS4 looks beast as hell, and caters to developers so they can make games, and people are like, "What, same controller?"

At this point, I'm so tired of this generation that I'm just happy to see a new console that can pull off new graphic technologies.

None of the games they showed impressed me, except for that Knack game...looked like a Pixar film.
I probably won't get a PS4 till 2 years into its lifecycle though...I didn't get a PS3 will 2008 when they bundled it with MGS4. Generic FPS and racing games don't thrill me after I've played so many of them. |
