  • Can I just put that people who think Nintendo are ripping off the Ipad are talking out of there asses,it's Home console version of a DS.

  • Woah, you remind me of Will Smith so much!

  • In fact, the Wii U's CPU is based off of IBM's "Watson" Super Computer. (Nintendo.com) Everybody saw what happens if you try to outsmart "Watson". Wii U just needs to have a great standardized online and I'll convert.

  • I really liked your video, I can see already that the same thing that happend with wind waker, is going to happen to Wii U, everyone will talk trash about the Wii U, but when it comes out over little time all that people will be talking wonders about it, I already believe from what I've been reading tht Wii U will be amazing, not perfect but it will shut mouths.

  • Now take into account when consoles came out. N64 a year after ps1. Ps2 a year before xbox and gamecube as well if i am correct. Like you said tech advances quickly and i think you failed to take into account when the systems came out. Good video but years are key

  • codfags/xbox fanboys perfer upscales as true HD lol apparently 600i translates to 1080p in the eyes of a noob

  • thats what i try to tell people, the wii was the only console where nintendos console was weaker than the others in graphics, nes, snes, , n64, n64dd, gamecube, all were powerful then sony & microsoft consoles, yet everyone that owns a 360 or ps3 has this stereotypical thought that sony & microsoft will always & have always made more powerful consoles. it was only 1 gen.

  • ps3 costed 600 dollar... back in the day consoles costed up to 900 dollars.

    Shits getting alot cheaper man. And the next Xbox will have better hardware. Wii U has like a shitty 4xxx AMD card in it while the Next Xbox 6xxx AMD card.

    GG.

    Those demo's you have seen from nintendo are just demo's, those graphics wont be the graphics the system will be able to put out in a full game, not even close..

    And a Quad core is pretty sad for a next gen system.. no it wont be a true next gen system.

    FACT.

  • @Vleesball

    The Wii U is rumored to use the 4870. The 720 is rumored to use the 6670. The 4870 is actually almost 2x as strong as the 6670, do your research.

    And actually, Wii U games will look better than the Zelda demo. Look at the Zelda demos for the N64 and GameCube. The final products (Ocarina and Twilight Princess) ended up looking much better than their tech demos.

    Do some research.

  • @Shokio thats not how console hardware works.

  • @Vleesball

    Not all the time, but I'm making an observation about Nintendo and their demos. The Zelda games ended up  looking way better than their demos, so I'd imagine it'd be the same case for Zelda U. Also, Reggie said that the demo used 10% of the hardware's power, and that was on 4-5 dev kits ago.

  • @Shokio Lol nice comeback Furball. "thats not how console hardware works" Dude, this guy know's what he's talking about, so shh. As if you actually thought the bigger the number in the series, the better. Lol at you sir.

  • @Vleesball P.s go make-out with your xbox, closest to a girl your gonna get

  • @Vleesball Wow the Derp is stong with this one!.

  • @Vleesball Here's a fact: you have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @Vyz3r Your opinion about me is irrelevant since you don't even bother explaining yourself.

    Maybe do some research instead and you will see that everything i said is factual.

  • @Vleesball Factual? Do you even know what you're talking about? How the hell is an hd4870 outperform a hd6670? The performance of hd6670 is lower than hd4870, idiot. Also how are the demos not going to work in the Wii U when it's working right there on the system? The demos were made on an under-clocked dev kit. Many developers already stated the "Wii U to be 3 - 5 times more powerful then a Ps3 or 360" with the same old underclocked dev kit. Please, do yourself a favor and STFU.

  • @Vyz3r Console infrastructure is way different than a pc.

    Also..

    DX10 vs DX11, 6670 is also capable of better shaders and other effects.

    All that crap hardware gets modded to perform better anyway.

    It's not like they put a console together like a fucking PC.

    Even if the wii u has better performance it wont be able to have better graphics. So what's the fucking point? Over kill BITCH.

    But you're obviously to fucking dumb to understand considering your fanboy ego lays in the way.

  • @Vleesball Are you kidding me? You have got to be the most idiotic person I've ever came across with. Video games are interactive entertainment computer or customized computer system. Why the heck would video games even run on computers if they weren't, dumbass! Also, DX don't mean shit if they have crap specs. The unified shader of hd4870 is 800 which blows away the hd6670's 480. The Wii U's 768 MB of DRAM also blows the 360's 10MB DRAM, which is a hell of a lot better graphics.

  • @Vyz3r rofl shader model 4.1 vs shader model 5.1.. sure man 4870 is gonne have better shaders hahahaha. so fucking ignorant.

    Go play a game with dx10 and 11.. see how shaders look alot crapier with dx10.

    I really am wasting my time with a dumb fuck like you. Go do some research cause you really need to.

    Can't believe ignorance at your level even exists.

  • @Vleesball I finally got you. I can't believe that actually worked. Talk about a pot calling the kettle black, and a hypocrite at that. For someone who doesn't even know video game consoles are custom computers, you talk big. And aren't you contradicting yourself when you said "console infrastructure is way different than a pc?" Also, these are rumors, so I don't take them seriously unlike you that takes everything as facts. "Go do some research cause you really need to." I'm a troll.

  • @Vleesball Dumbass, n00b, if you're gonna talk shit, know what the hell you're talking about. Fanboyism has nothing to do with me giving real facts. If you can't deal with real facts about the Wii U being a hell of a lot more powerful than you think, then you're the real fanboy here. Fuck off!

  • @Vyz3r Once again you don't explain yourself, how the fuck is anyone going to take you serious?

  • They are demo's.. big file, small level. Push everything in one place.

  • It's actually 5 to 6 times more powerful now,Reggie even said that the zelda tech demo was just %10 of what it could really do and the graphics demo was done in real time and was HIGHLY underclocked

  • Things are a lot less expensive then they were. The 2600 Atari was $500 in todays dollars.

  • A lot of people hear what they want to hear and disregard everything else. For example, "Oh. the Wii U will only be twice as powerful as the Xbox 360." Do they have the spec sheet of the Wii U? No! And then a few weeks later, the same people say that the upcoming Microsoft console will be 20% more powerful than Wii U.

    Or how about the confusion about Wii U being just a controller? Well if you watched the E3 conference, you would hear the speakers say "new home platform" before the Wii U reveal.

  • Comment removed

  • subed btw

  • i understand what your saying and its all true but the only problem i have is your messing up in a couple things....ram is on MBs nothing has more than 2gb ram for graphics.....gamecube is not stronger than the ps2....xbox was better than both....gamecube had less space on the disk and worse graphics ......if a game looked better on gamecube its just becouae the developers got lazy or they ported it wrong

  • @mikez541 The GC was stronger than the PS2, its not a big difference but it was still more powerful. you look it up if you dont believe me "worse graphics" Have you played Metroid Prime? and the only thing the PS2 had over the GC was it's 64 bit processor while the GC had a 32 bit.

  • The SEGA Master System was the most powerful system of its time, the NES came second, and the Atari 7800 was the least powerful system of that generation. Just a little clarification.

  • That looks very promising. :D

    Someone should make a game in the vein of Lost Vikings, or another Lost Vikings, and utilize the controller and screen.

  • I see what you're saying.

  • those bastard developers had it two years before

  • it should just be called nintendo u

  • Nintendo isnt going to make the same mistake again!!! They raped until the GameCube came out, then Sony stepped in for a few years!!! Now it's the PS3 vs XBOX 360, and Nintendo is going to put up a fight with the Wii U (even with such a shitty name)

  • @drayman98 they might change it i heard (the name i mean)

  • @drayman98 they might change the name.

  • Dude ur a total stereotyp and i love it, great voice and sh1t, realy like ur video, som repet on what ur saying all the time so 4/5!

  • if next gen is below the current max graphics+60fps pc games ( BF3 for example not witcher 2 xD ) they will be released too soon as in they should wait and get cheaper and better hardware.

    this gen is out dated big time

  • break it down for'em brother! preach it yo, i agree with this video alot

  • I heard a rumor that the xbox 720 and the ps4 will be selling at $400 to $500 when they release....

  • @Jhamilis21 Thats a rumor still? Is it official? I guess not

  • see what I'm sayin?

  • see what I'm saying?

  • i see ur point dude, but you need to learn abit more about hardware and how to read and understand specs. i am making a guess here, but you dont seem to have a pc-gaming, pc building, or pc hardware background/understanding. i suggest you look into such things. it will help you in these videos. none, the less, good video. oh one more thing, developer testimony means nothing to say the truth. developers will not come and say the hardware is crap. even if they r 3rd party. simply because they want

  • BTW, good vid.. :P

  • If he's a virgin, I'll take his virginity.

  • interesting

  • How can tell this guy is a virgin ... 1. He is a grown man with a super mario galaxy 2 poster plastered in his wall. 2. im amazed he can afford the net with a old tube monitor sitting in the background ... tube!!! tube!!! ..3. he has a weak ass excuse for facial hair consisting of bum fluff in patch's on his face..

  • @SuperDrzayus might be a tv but still yea sad...

  • @SuperDrzayus pathetic troll.1don't you know all the girls dig Mario, maybe it is you that has not been getting laid.2 Will Smith can afford the internet easy, he just keeps the old tv there as a weapon to throw on trolololols like you.3 What excuse? he never made one, he simply likes it like that, and if you knew it girls do not care so much for appearance, they are more interested in personality. Which an unoriginal troll like you lack. Your lack of knowledge of these things worry me....

  • @narutofano03 You mad bro? You sound mad dick i hurt your feeling's? Sorry i didnt know he was your boyfriend.

    P.s i didnt bother to read your comment first two words was enough.

  • @narutofano03 "Narutofan" ooooh ok i get it now your a virgin to, name says it all.

  • @SuperDrzayus wow no shit I'm only 13. You can call others Virgin all you want, but your still nothing more than a troll in the Basement, missing not only a girlfriend, but any friends as well.

  • @narutofano03 Just ignore him. No matter how correct you are trolls will not stop trolling.

  • @narutofano03 You sound upset. Nice assumption go back to jacking off over pokemon little girl. Just remember hand+nurato(doesn't) = Getting laid.

  • @SuperDrzayus Dawww do you want a hug...

  • @narutofano03 O.o sorry not into hugging kids ..lol.. perhaps look further into your own family if you require a pedophile's attention.

  • @SuperDrzayus You've met with a terrible fate haven't you...

  • @narutofano03 You tell me your telling the story kid.

  • @SuperDrzayus You shouldn't have done that...

  • @narutofano03 Rofl no i should of.

  • @SuperDrzayus We will see about that... only time will tell...

  • @narutofano03 ok what ever helps you sleep at night kid.

  • @SuperDrzayus So eh, got a PS3!?

  • @narutofano03 wii,ps3,ds lite, soon to be vita.what cool things do you have lol?

  • @SuperDrzayus Wii, PS3 and 3DS. you're not really so bad after all.... XD

  • the first wii was a next gen console the wii u will be the next gen console from nintendo.. nothing to do with its specs... The wii u is nintendo's NEXT GEN SYSTEM.. understand the word ffs...

  • Good bye sweet ps3 your online sucked your exclusives were ok... but time for a new and better thing ... I left my nintendo so many years ago (n64) never looked back... now i get a warm and fussy feeling about the new nintendo... its like child hood memories all flooding in a secruity blanket if you will.. Zelda mario all my favourites and now nintendo is doing multiplats at last that on par with new tech.. cant wait its like christmas or the time i seen furgie pee herself in concert..

  • @coolstupid666 Childhood in HD lol :D

  • I see the top of your wii in the background I subbed not because of that but it helped XD

  • i think ONLY REAL gamers will buy the wii u

  • The only people who think the wii U will suck are people who JUST started gaming

    this generation.....

  • the leap has to be big and the spec for the xbox 720 are out there its a monster the wii u is just the wii part twew sony and microsoft systems are going to make the wii u games look bad just like the xbox 360 and ps3 graphics made the wii look bad use your head dude why do you think nintendo is not puting the wii u specs out there ? the reason is the system is a graphics are weak the reason cry ech is happy with the wii u power is now they can port xbox 360 games onto it ..end of story

  • @hellokitty92691 Wow. You're so clueless about video games, it's ALMOST pitiful....

  • Continue the series. Unless you are focusing on college. Either way I see what you're sayin'.

  • 16 people dont have a life

  • i agree with the graphics comment, we kinda hit a plateau with grachics unless you wanna pay big money.

  • LOL 768 gigs - you mean MEGABYTES! Hahaha that'd be 768,000 MBs of RAM - and and the console would then cost over 4 grand lol. Haha non-genius mistake there for THAT, but man but def smart on specs overall :)

    Good point on the processor architectures - PowerPC vs. x86 (Intel, AMD) is very different, and what used to differentiate Mac vs. PC - and even THEN newer generation of the same architecture varies too. But yeah man, WiiU is easily going to blow away the PS3 and 360.

  • I hate the fact that Wii funs are overexcited. There have been 7 years since Ps3 and X360 came out and the Wii U is just 50% better. I think developers back in 2005 were not happy but blowned about those 2 7th gen consoles. The WiiU will be like the Wii and the other consoles. It was better than the Xbox and the Ps2 but when the ps3 and X360 came out ...

  • @MrCrazydooker hur hur every laughs on the wii's motion controller but praises the ps move/kinect wheres the logic in that?. yeah hardware will always be better overtime ll.%50 more powerful is only an being really really generous with under-clocked dev kits towards 360/PS3; it'll be funny if they just port the PC version of Crysis on the Wii U (which does not include optimization). Comparing a POWER7 to t3h C3LL would be like an i7/i5-2500k to an Core 2 Duo and that's just in favor to teh CELL.

  • I hope Nintendo comes out on top this time around.

  • Don't worry about the "powah-hungy" PS losers... they're just sad because the Vita blows, and is selling so poorly, because Sony is weak and lame anymore. FACT! Excellent video.

  • They are comparing it to PS3 and 360 I really don't believe Nintendo will share games next gen with PS4 and 720.. they might have there own version of it but eh. If you look at the demo for the Unreal Engine 3 next gen graphics and the Cry engine's video I really doubt it can handle.. Nintendo needs to show more ingame demos.

  • Jahmai, man, all your preaching and "logic" is futile to us hardcore Sony, power-hungry gamers. We will ALWAYS be the best. The PS4 will be the shizz, and it will be more powerful than every PC and Wii U EVER! Give up, Nintendrones, and submit to the Master Race, or, you can spend your last days with your dildo, nicknamed, the "Wii remote". Wii sucks and U suck for liking it!

    How was my performance, Jahmai? Was I accurate?

  • @untouch59

    Very. Spot-on lol.

  • @untouch59 A PC can generate much higher graphics than any console right now. But, it's your choice of a gaming device.

  • Great video! Thanks for dispelling some of the crap people love making up about Wii U being the Wii all over again.

  • The Wii U will probably be around $400-$599

  • @MakeAGameWithMe

    no just no, at the highest it will probably be 400

  • @lylatfox4 hopefully.

  • @MakeAGameWithMe Ahh doesn't matter with me, can't wait until Launch

  • @P4PBoxingKing Dude i just woke up and i was dreaming that i was borrowing the Wii U from nintendo to home, it was fricking awesome...it sucked to wake up.

  • @MakeAGameWithMe lol, can't wait man, gonna be there on Launch day. I hope they get rid of friend codes also

  • @JohnnyDogshit Shaking my head, Nintendo has even given us the full specs. You do know that Iwata son said they have multiple systems they are working on before the pick the final model. Now revisit your post and please repost.

  • Crysis 2 was over hyped & under delivered & ended up broken case closed!

  • So what you're saying is that the 8th generation would be pretty much a refinement of the 7th generation, right? Output the same graphics with a bunch more functions?

  • @troy1002x and a massive focus on gameplay

  • @troy1002x

    Precisely. A decent graphical leap, yes, but more focus on what the systems can actually do ex: Media applications, online, shops, etc.

  • @Shokio It's because there is only so much developers can do to improve graphics even further when its pretty much at its peak right? Unless they do virtual reality which i doubt is coming anytime time soon, but thats a different thing all together

  • The Wii U is gonna be a great system and I can't wait to play the new Smash Bros and Zelda.

  • sup will smith

  • I feel like you just read my mind.

  • Comment removed

  • You're very wrong about some points here...this technology nowadays is much cheaper to produce than it was 5-15 years ago. These companys are able to mass produce this stuff very cheap. And I think the Xbox720/Ps4 will be more powerful than the Wii U...I mean even the 2-3 years make a big difference nowadays. Moreover the Wii U has so much to improve form it's predecessor, more support, more games and a better online system. I think we should all wait and see until it comes out. no hype please

  • @TheIWFChannel easier to make stuff that made back then the newer stuff takes more money to make so stuff made now is not cheap because the standard now a days is very high exceeding the standard back then the games will be all around the same par unless they use more than 4 core processors or more than 4 cell processors or whatever very expensive to make a mass production of that and it would cost way too much the public wouldn't buy it not right away most defiantly

  • Sony has always provided an unique entertainment experience every gen that i can't find any where else so i have no reason to doubt them thus far!

  • @hardkoregamer1981 Wait, sony?

  • WiiU may have certain technical advantages but im pretty confident that playstation 3 can still hold it's own against WiiU in some technical aspects & especially with exclusive games.Also vita may have had an rough start but that dose not mean vita has lost & i am confident vita will have an successful product life that will give 3DS a run for it's money.

  • @hardkoregamer1981 i agree with you bro the wii u probably wont look any better than the ps3, ps3 rocks!!!

  • @armyof2brothers The Wii U is going to look better than the PS3 for sure because it's newer hardware, but that doesn't mean nothing can be done with the PS3 anymore. We'll just have to see.

  • I agree that sony & microsoft have to play it smart financially however the material costs to build & mass produce powerful enough hardware to outperform nintendo's WiiU is still within reach.This will depend solely on how sony & microsoft handle software & hardware design & marketing of their next gen platforms which will determine the launch price & ease of development & meeting the demands of customers.

  • Comment removed

  • This video kind of sums up my view on the Wii U specs, I agree with literally everything you say. The Wii U will be awesome, especially if it will get full 3rd party support so that I can play all my games on one console!

  • Comment removed

  • absolutely everyone who's hating on Wii U will get sorely moted when Nintendo shows it off at this years E3. I cannot wait for you guys to be put in your places. Sony even announced (after seeing how successful inferior hardware can be, the Wii) that their next gen console won't be a huge leap from the PS3, so they can spend less money on production costs and make it more affordable for consumers. oooooohh, buuuuuurrrn!!!

  • you look like will smith. Wii U will own all btw

  • i wonder how many deveopers dont like the wiiU... get it

  • lol insta sub

  • @Th0ukos your a fucking idiot, the pc isn't a console and is not considered to be within the console generations.

    It is a new gen i.e. a new generation becaue that's what it is, it's the upgrade from the previous system.

    you don't see people saying well this new generation of Iphone is shit because the 3ds is already out.

  • Why do you keep riding on the Wii U?

  • @messenger360

    ??? Because it's a next gen system and as a Nintendo fan I'm excited about it???

  • @messenger360 you're 11 years old.

  • @SkankinDevil89 I'm 18, kid.

  • @messenger360 I'm 22, kid.

  • LOL its always the weaker consoles (tec. wise) that gets 1st place

    PS1, PS2, and Wii

  • last part of the vid

    that is so true, but haven't really notice, until Shokio brought it up, its always the more powerful console that ends up losing, guess its the PRICE, consumers are willing to pay cheaper for a not so powerful console but still entertaining

  • It will not be 400 $ Mr. Iwata said it is not going to be cheap, yet he said it will likely cost 2,000 yen which is about 280 but I'm sure it will be priced at the 300-350. I'm Sportsgamer from WiiU forums.

    I know you Shokio from the Wii U forums at Wii U.com.

  • You know I am not looking for a powerful videogame console due to the fact it becomes less reliable. Joking aside, I am hoping that the wii u controller that we as gamers saw at E3 is the actual system. A system that replaces the half baked 3DS and brings gamers like Onlive before it the ability to play your game library at home and on the go using the same system.

  • Can't wait for the Wii U! :D

  • Wii U = epic PS4 = epic 720 = idc Wii = epic PS3 = epic Xbox360 = too much

    3DS = idk(don't have it) PSP = epic Original Xbox = epic

    Game Cube = epic PS2 = epic. In my opinion, microsoft went way down when hey started getting greedy and began banning players without proof, nor a good reason. The nintendo lost me at the DSi XL, but got me back at Wii U. I can't wait for the Wii U and PS4. I have a 360, so don't tell me that 360 rocks. Look up, "THE PRO(MAN) BANNED ME FOR NO REASON"!

  • The wii u can easily be more than twice as power than current gen consoles. Just compare the gfx cards that current gen consoles are based off and how far todays gfx cards have come since then and just compare the specs.

  • actually i like with what your saying there is a interview with reggie and in the video their expensive is 300 roughly and that is the price point they are shooting for which is perfectly fine with me. from what ive already heard the 720 is gonna be running at least two graphics cards and sorry that is gonna be very very expensive. the ps4 is gonna be about 400 cause they already stated that its gonna be just slightly more powerful then the ps3. which sorry if your gonna do that its gonna fail.

  • I will get the Wii U. Getting vita and 3ds also...handhelds got my attention right now.

  • @tonywood25

    Yea the handhelds are pretty fuckin awesome. Sometimes I enjoy them more than I do the consoles lol.

  • @Shokio

    Yea...u will take your suggestions into advicement, and get a 3ds and Wii U. What you think between 3ds, psp, or vita?

  • @Shokio and theirs no reason not too..consles arent Portable,Handhelds fit nearly every setting and situation..definity all purpose,lol wait let me correct myself,WII U will be going portable with their Mini Controller screen...Dam...best of both worlds i guess...in a sense

  • @Shokio That is because the 7th gen is one big disappointment, and handheld games are FUN!

  • @bmdshred77 nether heard a hardcore Gamer say gonna get of Zelda to play viva pinata

  • Your a wii fanboy and you say Xbox is casual machine? You are a fanboy of a kids casual company. Xbox is the hardcore gaming machine. Gamers have a PC and a Xbox. Never heard a hard core gamer say I'm going to get off battlefield to play Mario party.

  • @bmdshred77

    Battlefield and CoD are not hardcore games dude... They are just as Casual as Mario Party... (Population of those games 95% are 14 to 15 year old kids while 5% are 16+)

    Zelda Game Population (85% 18+ while 15% are 14-17)

  • I am now interested in the Wii U. If the developers of games I like go to it I will definitely buy it. Its all about the games for me.

  • I have no clue whatsoever reguarding specs so I hardly understood anything when you were talking about specs lol.

  • i hear what your sayin'

  • CPU may be 3GHz, but it is POWER7 which makes any comparison to the CPU in the 360 laughable considering it is loosely based on the POWER4/ MB portion when it might actually be Mb which means bits instead of bytes. A system with 768 MBs of DRAM would be unaffordable and would be a monster, and the actual use of embedded DRAM should have let DRAM is. Translating those numbers for you from bits to bytes,

  • @ivanpive oh ok thanks for letting us know game developer who already has both systems and knows exactly what's gonna happen.

  • Thumbnail to this video = WIN!

  • 1080p makes me happy. I wish i had a better job cause I have enough money to by a new system but I'm really hesitant to spend money on new tech. I Rather just wait till cheap.

    also lol at that old ass TV in your room

  • @PS3sucks4life ty someone with a brain lol

  • @oEXTRA Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against the Vita, heck I WANT it to do well. But I'm sure Nintendo isn't scared of the Vita. I see no reason for them to be. Both go for two different audiences. That price cut was done because it wasn't going as Nintendo expected. The second circle pad (in my opinion) was just a poor design choice. Nintendo is very confident that they will sell the most systems this gen as they have been doing since... well, forever.

  • @hungryhippo247 Also as I said before 1 Sony is the only company to survive against them in the handheld business (which is something in itself to watch out for) and 2 once the Vita goes world wide (and as games release) it'll do a lot better. I don't expect it to beat the 3DS but it will compete strongly as time passes. Also where is your proof that Sony is selling the Vita at a loss? Sounds like made up nonsense to me. Oh and ya'll forget that the DS audience is growing up.

  • @oEXTRA N4G via Andriasang reported that they are selling at a loss and that they "expect to reach hardware [PS Vita] profitability within three years."

    I cannot help the feeling that Nintendo was a little cocky with their decision to price the 3DS originally at $250 US Dollars; seemed like a little experiment to me. When they found out it wasn't working they put it down to what possibly was their intended price.

    This is my opinion and I respect yours. What will sell systems are games.

  • @hungryhippo247 I read that article and like many you misunderstood it.Every company technically starts out negative and then breaks even later. For example, let's say the Vita costs $240 to make and they're selling it at $250, they're only making $10 profit each sale but wait that $10 gets cut into by retailers, transportation, marketing, etc. So that $10 goes bye bye and they're back to being at a loss but not as heavily as before. This is basically what each company goes......

  • @hungryhippo247 through until they eventually sell enough systems to even out and go higher in profit. Now what you and many others are thinking is that it's like with the PS3 where the production costs where greater than the retail price. I very much doubt Sony would do that again. With that said I do respect your opinion on Nintendo's price cut and such but let me say if that's true it's one HELL of a coincidence, and yeah games sell systems which is why both will succeed.

  • @CresentSoul you do realize that japan isnt the key to winning right_ the ps3 outsold the 360 by a mile in japan and yet is still behind it in sales why bc it reigns supreme in the US_ so in conclusion the US is the key and hinestly i believe the vita will do pretty well here as well as elsewhere

  • @CresentSoul dude wth are you talking about ms isnt even in the handheld business_ also sony so far is the only company to be able to compete with nintendo in this category and survive_ also yeah the ps3 didnt sell as mich as the wii but the it still did good_ much better than nintendo did against them the past 2 gens_ u ppl crack me up about the vita its going to be interesting how u react as time goes on
