bass4punk Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Looks like Nintendo is screwed they'll always have their Mario, Zelda, and other key franchises though, and their diehard fans. I always give Nintendo props, as they are never scared to be the first to innovate in the industry. Motion controls, touch pad controllers, and who knows what will be next Nintendo is in big, BIG trouble right now. Wii-U sales have been terrible, and with the PS4 to Vita connectivity, the Vita will do exactly what the Wii-U tablet does, except it'll be about 10x more powerful. Third parties are going to flock to Sony, and all Nintendo will have is their first-parties. Nintendo is cooked. They certainly need to address their game issue. I only bought the Wii U for the first party games. Let's face it, they by no means are trying to compete with the other big dogs, in terms of system power they need to get some first party, heavy hitters out there ASAP.

COI Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Nintendo is fine, but I think they are aiming for a different audience. The audience that made the Wii so successful (casuals and Grandma) have left the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaven Kev-migration Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I am still running my fat ps3 from shortly after launch. I'm pretty excited for ps4. I also have a 360 cause of halo and just got a wii to catch up on Mario and Zelda games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Seph Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) The first couple of years were abysmal for the PS3. An absolutely atrocious launch. They came out a year later than the 360, with an architecture that developers didn't know how to use, and a non-existent game library. They were saved by the success of blu-ray and the eventual arrival of a great library of exclusives, both first party and third. It really looks like they've learned from their mistakes. This conference was a 180 degree turn from their PS3 debut. Albeit without showing the actual console.. Pretty bazaar IMO.

COI Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) The difference between the PS3 and PS4 is greater than the difference between the PS2 and PS3. PS1 > PS2 was a 10x increase PS2 > PS3 was a 14x increase PS3 > PS4 is a 16x increase PS1 (3.5MB RAM total) 2MB Main RAM 1MB VRAM 0.5MB Audio RAM PS2 (36MB total) 32MB Main RAM 4MB VRAM PS3 (512MB total) 256MB Main RAM 256MB VRAM PS4 (8192MB total) 8GB Unified RAM I'm freaking excited.

He11blazer Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 This is unreal: I love looking at stuff like this now, and remembering all those arguments about C64 games being too dependent on flashy graphics instead of great gameplay, like on the Vic20. It's also amusing that the biggest 'wow' element of those clips for me is the muddy puddles. I'm like "Check out that mud! It's so real!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
