this thread...it's gonna be a goldmine, five years tops.The WiiU is going to bomb. They can´t reproduce the WiiMote casual hype and have nothing to offer for core gamers. I expect sales somewhere around Gamecube -N64 levels.
WELP
how about the part here when he was so confident to quote him 2-3 years down the road ... ( getting quoted now lol)This one in particular is beautiful.
Quote me in 2 or 3 years. I know when something is about to bomb. Sony is very easy to read, even Patcher can do it.
The Massive Thread of Shame.
Basically, reality struck inverted to the majority of the predictions here. Fucking hilarious.
This is why I avoid making predictions like that. Wishful thinking only goes so far.
This post is still funny
i honestly don't see a world where nintendo tops the next generation. maybe in terms of consoles + handhelds, but if you're judging it that way, they came out on top during the n64/psx gen too.
their nearly two-decade problems with third parties persist, and the wii u is this weird thing that nintendo doesn't seem to know how to present. more than that, its online structure will lag behind its competition quite noticeably.
i think they're sorta gonna blow their first year like they did with the 3ds. and this time they won't have anything to come to their rescue since they'll have used wii fit, nsmbu, and nintendo land right at the start.
...i take it back, ive got $20 on thisMy prediction is Gaf will get it completely wrong again.
Lol, ding ding ding.
I never, ever even gave it a thought Wii U will be on top to be honest.
Sony back on top baby!
The same thing will happen with the Wii U that happened with the Wii - open big, then dry up as third party support abandons ship, leaving hardcore gamers desperate for the drip feed of ancient IPs like Zelda and Metroid.
MS are clearly focused on media center stuff we don't care about, and the only huge games apart from Halo will be third party.
I'm calling it.
The PS4 will do worse than the VITA
Hahaha started reading the thread without noticing it was from 2012 and was like "what? ppl predicting Sony 3rd? Y'all out of your minds?".
Man were they wrong.
