@catsimboy: WOW! Those PS2 buyers sure bought the PS3! WOW! Those X360 buyers sure bought the Xbone! And the fact that you just said the fact that mobile games and console games are separate just show what you are doing now, you are DC'ing like mad and can't stop doing it cause as me and everyone else is saying, The casual numbers are HUGE and they will buy it if you interest them! Good luck boy, you gonna need it, especially since I'm now finding some of the so called "mobile crap" far more interesting than some console games and this is a guy who have all three systems now from last gen and all three systems this gen!
@Spartan_418: It would've helped greatly if 1. Nintendo comes up in 2010 and showed the freaking console FIRST 2. Show the controller and how it works with the CONSOLE and 3. Named the Wii U as Wii 2....I guarantee you they will sell A LOT better than it is now!
@spartanx169x: The fact of the matter is, if you look back at history, the only reason when the king of the hill falls from the throne is when the king himself goof up, and goofed up BADLY! Nintendo lost it with the N64 cause their stupid adamant refusal to listen to reason and went with the Carts instead of CD. The biggest fallout from that was of course, FF VII going to Sony. Sony fell and went kersplat cause...well, as much as cows want everyone to forget, but "$600 is actually very low priced" and "attack the giant crab weak spot for massive damage" will always live infamy! And this gen. As much as the cows refuse to believe it, the only reason Sony won the way they did was the fact Nintendo firstly mess up their presentation of the Wii U to the point four years later, people are STILL confused about it and 2.....Here is the point, I was quite the lemming last gen...I still somewhat am but when MS first presented the Xbone and all the brouhaha that went with it, I was flipping them bird and bird going "SCREW YOU M$! SCREW YOU ROYALLY!!!!" and when that $500 price was announced I was just like going, "and here I thought no one will beat Sony and that calamity of a 2006 E3 presentation! Congratulations M$! You just upstage them as the WORST presentation EVER!" And hence how PS4 won!
@@@spartanx169x: AKA, the flarking casual gamers! Even if their kids are hardcore gamers or even worse, the so called harda-corda gamagas fake-core gamers, their parents will NOT buy them 10 games a year (any parents that does that are dumb a$$ stupid). But again, since there are sooo many of them, to the tune of it's more like a Zerg rush, their numbers more than make up for the fact they buy less games. This is why before launch, companies now are more and more concentrated on these people. This is because, for Example, for the Switch. Why would Nintendo appeal to their fans? They will buy the console anyways. Why will they appeal to the lemmings and cows here, many of them whose only wish is for Nintendo to become third-party anyways.....Who do you think they will appeal too? That's right, the casuals who you are riding on to success!
@catsimboy: The people who buy LESS games!!!! Surprise surprise indeed! But that's the market now cause the market is DOMINATED to the tune of 75-80% by casuals and mainstream consumers who at most, buy around 3-5 games a year, and most of that occurs at Christmas. Last gen Nintendo dominated cause they got the casuals and mainstream market...And the Cows and Lemmings HATED them for it too. Now it's Sony who have that market, all of a sudden, casuals and mainstream are suddenly their best friends....Hardcore market may buy more games, to the tune of over 10 a year, but the NUMBERS...They just get creamed in terms of numbers cause casuals outnumber them to the tune of at least 4 to 1! During launch, no matter what you do, your fans and especially your fanboys will buy your console even if you pack shaznettle in a box! REad PS3 and all the stupid cows that paid over $600 for one......But after that runs out, and as the PS3 and the original Kinect enabled Xbone proved, you run out of your fan base REAL QUICK even if they buy 10 games a year.........Then you flarking depend on casuals who buy 3 games a year and the numbers born the tale. Wii sold over 850 million units of software lifetime, almost the entire COMBINED numbers from X360 and PS3!!!!! How did it do it? With the help of causals who buy LESS games than hardcore to the tune of only 3 or 5 games a year! More specific? Cause the casuals simply Zerg Rushed and pummeled everyone as a result!
@debateme: It's a huge flarking problem when you have 4 years later, when I walk into the local best buy, and I STILL have people say when I tell them the most fun I had this gen was on the Wii U is, "Ohh, you mean that tablet attachment that attaches to the Wii right?" I always want to go face/palm right then and right there not at the local consumers, they don't know better, but at Nintendo themselves for messing this up to such a end, 4 years later they still can't untangle themselves from it!
@Quique85: The only way you may think 1.5 months gap is a large gap is if you are 15-23 years old, got plenty of free time on your hands and is not in college or graduated and have no jobs currently. Otherwise, if you are married, have a job and especially have kids..........1.5 months isn't NEARLY close being a "large" gap!
@garf02: LOL, now after the Switch reveal and all these Cows and Lemmings having a meltdown of epic proportions, can't wait to see Bayo 3 as Switch exclusive since rumors are all pointing in that direction....I wonder if it is gonna be even more of a meltdown than Bayo 2!
