Nintendo DICE rumor: Nintendo fans are all talk; Activision pissed with BLOPS 2 Wii U sales

...

 

To think for even a second that a CoD game would do anything noteworthy, or at all for that matter, on a system that's not Xbox or PS is hilarious.

Think about what type of people generally own a Nintendo console, and then what type of people generally own one of the other two. You're not going to get the same people to put out money for that type of game for a Nintendo console that you are one of the others.
Also, think about the small percentage of people who own both a Nintendo console and one of the others. Which system do you think they are going to buy the game for?

Obviously not the Wii U.

Yeah, and I would expect a "and we're proud of it" type of response to this statement.

Well, to be honest, I doubt that anyone thought that a COD game would do well on a Nintendo platform, even if it did have 3rd party support(Hypothetically). Ubisoft said that consumers of the Wii U would still spend 60 dollars on the Mario game, that is the reason why a lot of people would buy a Wii U, for exclusives, I am not saying that Nintendo has good 3rd party support, because it does lack in that, but COD and Ninetendo are not two eggs in the one basket.

I don't recall the thing you said about Ps vita, I do however remember something similar done by Sony, so this could be their M.O, as you can see here: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/20/new-ps3-doesnt-mean-price-drop-for-old-models-sony-explains-wh/
When Ps3 Slim (version 2) was relased EVERYBODY was waiting for a price drop at the older consoles (something that always happen when sony launchs a new version), this time however Sony made a cheaper Ps3, with cheaper parts , but they all came with more memory than most old ones (one of the cheapest upgrades that one can make in their Ps3), so the cheaper and "lamier" version of the Ps3 stayed with the same price of the "cool oldschool" Ps3, insted like when the first slim was out that Sony made it cheapier, than made the old ones go to the new lower price, in Ps3 slim 2 they just "up the price to meet the previous consoles".

They did that and gave an terrible excuse that "The consumers don't want price drops, they want a constant price because with price drops they get confuse with they are buying cheaper or not" o.O...

And about using this as a scheme, It is true, some economists had said that overpriceing something might be good for your product, because "it changes the market, and the target"
I know first hand a mall in my city was almost closing doors, when they had a brilliant idea "Why not charge the parking?" (that time no mall did this), they became the first mall that did it, and overnight a mall that was closing became an exclusive place to be, so everybody wanted to be there.

The same thing goes for luxuary cars, perfumes, chocolates (that fancy store isn't competing with your candy bar, no they become so expensive, that they become gifts, so their adversarys are other stores that sells gifts like a flower or perfume store), boats, etc...
by paying more the thing itself gains a new subconscient value, beside the status.

Well they did an AC for mobile phones, so they probably could make one to my calculator, but I don't know if puting this much effort into making AC an WII game would pay out.. they would have to remake the game from scrath only the plot would be the same, so all new artists and animations.. maybe they would not have their money back, not to mention that ubisoft is not ever doing ONE new AC they are doing two or more so they can launch a new one every 6 months, they would have to do the same thing for WII.. I guess it is easier doing for WiiU.

As for "why to buy consoles".. everybody now says "PCs are the best".. but what PC that you buy for 500 dollars will survive 6 years (whithout new things) playing all the new and top games?
You buy a console for its cost benefit, sure when some one spends 5000 dollars on a pc they will supass your capacity, but most people don't have that much cash, and if they were to spend what they could spend on a console in a pc they could not play the new games... so you buy consoles as an insurence, is cheap (in comparison with Pcs) and it will last longer than any Pc that you buy today.

 

...

 

I am not saying that the Pc will stop functioning in 6 years, but whithout new pieces in few years your pc wont be able to play the new games because they are always asking more power of your pc.
A Console however, the game is made for it, so if the game is made for it, it will run as the developers intended to it run.

 

But that's wrong, if you make a pc that can run the same games a current gen console can, it's going to be able to play ported games untill the next gen, the only game sit might struggle with are PC exclusives, in which case it depends on what your hardware choices were, and it's still likely to be able to play it on at least the lowest settings

 

This is assuming you invest in a decent computer. I mean, if I spent the same money on my laptop was I did on my PS3 (79 dollars) I wouldn't be getting much more than a high tech paper weight.
Most 200-300 dollar computers are pretty bad (I should note, this is also working on the assumption that you buy a prebaked PC) simply because a PC has to handle way more than a console does. It's really just the more convenient option.
In a perfect world, everyone would use a factory priced, fully customizable mega machine... man... that would be awesome...
