You never heard of delays have you? Nintendo nearly always has delays.
No, what Nintendo needs is for their games to come out asap. The Wii U has been doing pretty terribly all things considered, at this moment they aren't sitting in such a comfortable position that they can intentionally delay a game to come out at a given time, they could do that with the Wii since it was dominating, but not with the Wii U, they need to have attention surrounding that as soon as possible.
Can't wait until the release date is finally announced, so we don't have to debate with doubters on how it can come out earlier than expected. But then again, there'll probably still be people who claim it'll indefinitely be delayed
.
O... Kay?
If they thought the game was going to be delayed an additional year (for some reason disregarding the notion that the game is at least functioning currently)... they wouldn't have given us an estimate. The estimate 2014 is about as broad as they could have possibly gotten with releasing a date, if they weren't confident in 2014, they would not have proclaimed that the date would entail 2014. It is not mandatory for a company to give us an estimate. I don't believe they even gave us one for Brawl. Trust me, if this game takes till 2015 to release, Nintendo is going to have some problems. Mario Kart will not carry the console for an entire year.
I am the all seeing kirby
things can get delayed...yaa never know : )
Which wouldn't matter because the Wii U would probably be dead at that point.
You're funny, though at first I didn't realize you were speaking in jest.
And that matters.... why exactly? PS4 and Xbox One selling more consoles has no effect on whether the Wii U is successful or not. The GameCube had nowhere near as many sales as the PS2, yet is considered one of the best systems Nintendo has ever made.
And on the other side of the spectrum, we have the Xbox One. /Halfjoking
B-b-b-but... it has TV!
The Gamecube, as I recall, was Nintendo's first failed console. I had 2, and they were amazing, but it was no where near successful.
Virtual Boy. As much as we can pretend that never happened.
Again, you are missing the point. Sales don't matter, games do. The GameCube is the prime example of this. It is not a failure by any stretch of the imagination because the people who bought it loved it. The same can't be said for Virtual Boy, which only had 13 games and gave people headaches if they played too long. A brilliant concept, but too ahead of its time for the technology to match the vision.
From a business standpoint, it was a failure. I loved it myself, but when it costs the company that created it money, it's a failure. Games don't help, because the money from the games goes to the developer, not the console company (Nintendo).
Um... I have no idea what you're talking about. You said that it was a failure because it cost Nintendo money to make the Wii U. I'm assuming you mean that it's being sold at a loss because all game consoles cost money to make. You also said that game sales don't help. The article says that while the Wii U is being sold at a loss, one game sale makes it profitable. Therefore, the loss is not significant and game sales cover the cost, contradicting both your statements. Also, I fail to see how being sold at a loss to the company makes a game system a failure. If that were the case, then both PS4 and Xbox One are failures, too.
