Current Gen Console Discussions (PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch (Pro?) OFFICIAL THREAD

The PS vita is actually good, It just needs more games for it.

Iwata is the President of the company. He came be outed if the need arises that consoles are not profitable while their software can be.

It isn't about resiliency. It's about money. If the Wii U doesn't pick up and the successor to the Wii U is not a breakthrough success as the Wii then how could Nintendo justify staying in the console business.

Handheld is another matter all together.

You actually think there is no people out there who are willing to pay money for Zelda/Mario games but not shell out $400 bucks to play them?

I think the Wii U could come back and be a decent success.

Not as much as the Wii, but enough to make a profit.

Wii U is no longer sold at a loss, and Nintendo isn't even close to going bankrupt.

It can come back. I think it will probably sell the same amount of units the GameCube did.

It might not be sold at a loss but does that include the cost to market, research and develop it? How about support costs? There is other things that make consoles unprofitable other than being sold as a loss.

As well, this has nothing to do with bankruptcy. The question is about Nintendo getting out of the console business because that section of the company is unprofitable. For example, Sony PC/TV/Movie/Music sections are not as profitable as before while their Playstation division is. If Sony stops producing PC's, this will be exactly what Nintendo could do. They could stop producing consoles but keep their software and handheld division because it's profitable....

The PS vita is actually overpriced hardware that doesn't do anything.

Fixed.

Maybe Splatoon could help Nintendo get a bigger fanbase. Kids ARE growing up on shooters, and it looks like a kid-friendly shooter.

But that is speaking about something we have no idea about. I'm speaking purely about going software only right now, which i think is unneeded. if they fail 10 years down the line who knows, but now anything could happen with new stuff just as it did with the gamecube.

While we're talking about Nintendo, to quote a friend of mine, there should be a petition to put legal boots to Philip's asses! Honestly, it's f**king bullshit! Anyone who can't see that should be lobotomized, because they're clearly incapable of using their f**king brains.

Welcome to trademark/patent law son

TBH, I sometimes forget Philips is still in business.

Speaking of which, how about their defamation of two Nintendo franchises: Mario and Zelda?! They have no f**king right!

Yeah... doing shitall. What do you do when you struggle to keep your head above financial water? You sue someone who's always (for damn good reason) been better than you. I'm sorry, but this sort of thing just makes me f**king sick.

Does Splatoon remind anyone else of a Nickelodeon cartoon?

I mean the classic, GOOD Nickelodeon.

Dude, stop cumming for a second

On the same note, Sony should quit the handheld console market.
The 3DS is killing the Vita lol.

Even tho the Vita has better graphics

its mostly casual & hardcore keeping the 3DS going.

So what you're saying is the 3ds is just better. If both casual and hardcore prefer it doesn't sound like some little just holding on by luck.

Its only better because the casual & hardcore are keeping that way

and the PS Vita does have potential but of the course game dev's aren't supporting it enough.

That's a silly excuse, you could say the same thing about the Wii u then

"it's only not doing as well because gamers play ps4 more"

That's even more sillier considering you can hook the Vita up to the PS4 and do things.

I think you missed the point of that
