How did the Wii get handled? Do tell, because I'm dying to know! It seemed to do already, had great exclusive non-nintendo titles, which I can list on and on and on like Zak & Wiki, Madworld, Little King's Story, Resident Evil Chronicles, Dead Space Extraction, No More Heroes 1 & 2 (later ported to other systems), Muramasa, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, The Last Story etc. If you talk about how it was presented, making it an all inclusive console is not saying it is a kiddie console or a hardcore gaming console. The advertising was done brilliantly and it paid off.Tanooki wrote: While I agree with you due to the purpleness of the GC and how the Wii got handled, it wasn't their fault in the beginning.
Do you seriously believe this insane Nazi Propaganda tactics idea? Is 9/11 an inside job? What about the shooter on the grassy gnoll? Nintendo being labelled as a kiddy console was done by gamers more so than the media and Sony during a time in gaming populated by a large teenage demographic. The reality was, Nintendo 64's hardware, what with the huge expense to make cartridges and the difficulty to program for, were what hurt it.Tanooki wrote: It was Sony who played them and used the gaming media and fanboys as their pawns to get the ball to start rolling. All the fickle Nintendo buyers, Nintendo's behaviors in this century in particular, and the media along with mouthpiece blowhard developers all had a hand. Sony originally used their media wing to slam Nintendo as a childs toy because of the carts, the goofy controllers, and because they had prominent games from them and Rare meant for pre-teens(really all ages.) They yet had more T/M games in those starting years than the PS1 had initially, but the slam worked and you can see how all that dried up for like 3 years up until the end with stuff like Conker and RE2. Sony played the old classic Nazi propaganda game well, tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth. They did, it became reality, and instead of defeating that fact, Nintendo instead and their mindless fans molded it even more ever since which also ended up including just wanting to buy their own stuff and snubbing the rest as sales data for their consoles have played out. It's really quite sad.
The Playstation had a 2 year head start, was cheap and easy to make games for and sold huge numbers of units. We all know that the more units you sell, the more people there are to buy your games. At that point the damage was done. It wasn't marketing, it was a head start and making things cheap and easy for developers, not this garbage about Nazi Propaganda, being kiddie and some strange conspiracy brought up by the media.
Want more proof that units sells games. Nintendo DS and Wii. Regardless of what you say, there is tons of great third party support for that system beneath shovelware. Don't agree with me, I will just shake my head at you
Continue with your line of thought and people will continue to completely disregard you as a person. This has nothing to do with being a fan of the Wii U as your statements had nothing to do with the Wii U. In reality, I am defending Sony here as they tipped the scales with things other than, "Nazi Propaganda," which I stated earlier. If you don't like how I treat you, ignore me, but I am not going to sit here and listen to you spew nonsense and act like it is the truth. I will call you out on it over and over again.Tanooki wrote:Bullshit. I write just fine, you just don't like what I'm writing. It's not like I haven't seen this tactic done to other people before and I'm sure I'll see it again as it's a classic annoyance tactic. I'm not a WiiU fan and this is a WiiU thoughts thread so I get the angry fan diversion approach. This place has uniquely been the only board I've ever been on to pull this line of garbage before so I know my writing is just fine.
I'm mature and I'm secure, I just don't like childish insults when someone doesn't agree as it's cheap and petty. (Also that's Ashton Kutcher, and no I'm not him.)
Of course, what do I know? I live in a world of logic and reason. Fuck me, right?
