Dobkeratops Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 They can afford making a PS4 and R&D always research new technology from the moment a console launches. The question is whether they can even afford to juice it way beyond the capabilities of the PS3. Making a console closer to six year old hardware would be more expensive given that equivalent old parts don't get mass manufactured anymore. Assuming a holiday 2013 release, contemporary off the shelves components and an estimated release price of ~$400 they could get a box that performed way better than the PS3 and break even on costs (or have a little loss per unit). Ram increase alone will do wonders, though it may take until the big studios get a hold of the tech to show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Nintendo has one final shot today with the software showcase. Also in their face book page they said that they will provide new game info for the next 26.2 hours.

Dobkeratops Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Nintendo was presenting their new console lineup and finalized specs. In light of that subject, it's not inappropriate nor is it uncalled to compare and consider the alternatives. Moreso because these alternatives can have a very important impact on Nintendo's upcoming hardware, thus discussion is - to an extent - warranted. Them's my two cents.

Patticus Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Nintendo is just showing us launch period titles for the WiiU at E3, right? I mean, would that focus on the period during and immediately following system launch explain away the lack of major properties getting announcements or reveals during the conference? Should we expect to see and hear more over the coming year and at next year's E3 about things that will satisfy us more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we expect to see and hear more over the coming year and at next year's E3 about things that will satisfy us more? Pretty much. It wasn't a good strategy to have really, but this seems to be what they're running with. The stockholders were predictably not happy with this either and Nintendo's stock already shot down 2% after their conference. I'm actually curious whether Nintendo are going to make an appearance at GDC Europe in August. They weren't there with the Wii U last year since it was still only a formal reveal with a shit ton of NDAs but if we're going to get any more info for the future, it's probably going to be there; either this year or early 2013. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also a no show for Gamescom. They should reconsider since some people are still iffy with the WiiU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patticus Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I can't wait for Assassins Creed either! It looks absolutely in-fucking-credible, doesn't it? I'm going to need a very good reason to buy it for Wii U as well as on 360 though; I'm looking for inspired use of that tablet controller, Ubisoft! Pretty much.

A lot of console launches are a bit flat, game-wise, so I suppose we should thank our lucky stars that we've got a property as hot as Pikmin to welcome us to Nintendo's next generation. I have hope now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorZolo Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Everyone help! Think of AC! Yeah, I love Armored Core! ...What? Jokes aside, isn't there another presentation Nintendo are doing? Something about the 3DS, I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Jokes aside, isn't there another presentation Nintendo are doing? Something about the 3DS, I think? Yeah, there will be a 3DS conference in about an hour. I believe it will be streamed on e3.nintendo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conando Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Why the fuck didn't they show this on the press conference? It seems you could say that about virtually every conference this year. Worst E3 in some time, that's for sure. Nintendo is just showing us launch period titles for the WiiU at E3, right? I mean, would that focus on the period during and immediately following system launch explain away the lack of major properties getting announcements or reveals during the conference? Should we expect to see and hear more over the coming year and at next year's E3 about things that will satisfy us more? That seems to be the case. Nintendo has their own event around the time of the Tokyo Game Show, where we could perhaps hear of new developments for both systems. They might spend the whole thing talking about Nintendo Land like they did with the roundtable, though. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't worry, my expectations are not so high as yesterday. =P I just hope it'll be a satisfying conference and not something anti climatic.
