Um , did you miss that N4S just came out from EA? How about Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Monster Hunter 4 from Capcom? Square Enix? Yep...they have a game coming too...same with 2K Sports and Activision...

Lack of which 3rd parties? Western ones that are slowly destroying their IPs or the ones they've bought?

8 gigs of GDDR5 that won't be 100% used by the system. You have to split that up....

Oh yeah, it has been done but with the Wii U it's 100% known that the owner will have the hardware needed to do it. No one really knows if someone who buys a game for the PS3 has a PSP or Vita (not likely in the Vita's case lol) so it's not emphasized nearly as much as it could be from what I've seen.

How do you miss that news? o.O

No, I wouldn't be okay with it.

Yeah, I'm not sure what exactly is causing this...even the NextBox is just getting tons of hate and that isn't even announced yet.

Makes you wonder why they only play Nintendo games. Is that the the ports are just lazy or other devs don't want to make a game up to Nintendo's quality?

What? Does everyone really think that the PS4/NextBox are both going to do over 4mil units at launch? I highly doubt they will...they might come close though but with both systems out at the same time and likely to cost over $400 (my guess is around $450-$500) it's going to be tough for them.

I dunno, guess time will tell. Though, I think Nintendo could be up to something with things...they're release cycle will put their new console close to the middle of the cycle for the NextBox/PS4...they could do something sneaky with this...

Yeah, I know I'm on track for something like that with this.

Yeah, the software thing is the Achilles heel of the thing I think...I just don't get why it's getting reemed so badly in the press...unless they're just "Oooo negative=clicks!" *shrugs*

Regardless of the issues around the other launches, there are just as many or more Wii U's in the hands of consumers than the last gen. Why is getting ragged so hard? I can understand investors getting upset (like I said in another reply) but I don't get why developers, knowing the numbers are so afraid or say there's…

I get the investors being upset due to that. What I don't get is the lambasting that the media and developers have given it.

Yeah, that's a really good point. I think the lack of software really hurt them. Nothing was really that big or "must buy" during Jan/Feb...it's slowly getting better but they need more. It's like the 3DS launch all over again....

So, no one is going to buy a PS4 for all those games that will be coming out?

Um, re-read that. I did include the full 4 month figures for all the systems.

Yeah, games have been a huge problem. I'll definite agree there. Even I waited a while until picking it up. Mostly since Jan and Feb were so barren of games...

I can see that, but it's still not this huge failure and dying thing everyone keeps saying it is.

I'd be curious to see what the weekly sales were for the 360 and PS3 after the initial push. The Wii U sold like crazy at the start and then tapered off...mostly due to no new games Jan/Feb. I wonder how the more steady handed launches of PS3/360 went...
