Nintendo was apparently lucky while using the Wii's success and, according to outspoken industry analyst Michael Pachter, their new
Wii Accessories console "isn't going to work".
Speaking now week's Develop Conference, Pachter reportedly told the group the Wii U is a flop, saying: "I dont catch on. I'm sure that essentially it is a solution searching for a problem. I am talking about, somebody had a notion 'let's result in the controller a tablet' for you aren't many games that will make use of that."
[The Wii was] gimmicky," he added. For that record, To be sure with him here. I never experienced the entire movement-based gaming sensation. But I also recognize that it sold incredibly well which it was a millionaire. But why achieved it sell so well?
"It worked, they got lucky," he explained, adding: "I do not think they're getting lucky with Wii U."
In order to clear some misconception prior to pounce on Pachter as a Nintendo hater (that is how these quotes encounter if you ask me), he defended: "I would not think [Nintendo] suck I recently believe that they really feel that, 'If we're still novel, everything we do will work'. This isn't likely to work."
"Hardcore gamers will purchase them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could released a bit of cardboard and say that it'll play Mario and they'll buy it."
While it is just a tough pill to swallow, his test is rather true. Nintendo fanboys, like any other platform fanboys, will purchase anything Nintendo. So long as it's got Nintendo's staple titles and iconic games, then very little else matters for many years. It isn't necessarily a negative thing; I've always emphasized gameplay and memorable experiences over graphical capabilities which is why I don't really worry about the entire "this product is more powerful than that particular" argument.
Still, is really a popular Wii never appealed to me, rrt had been so innovative that everyone else needed one. Everybody felt the call to get the Wii because it was relatively cheap and offered a new, trendy kind of gameplay experience. Even my parents, who ignoramus about games, made the purchase. I do not even think they ever played it, but they just had to have one. I believe like that was the way it was with many different people - it had been something cool and new, the ones desired to see what the many buzz was ready.
Straightforward Wii U, who knows if it can be successful. I can sit here and write "The Wii U will fail" all I'd prefer, however the truth is for no reason know. If marketed and priced right, I would not understand why the Wii U are not successful. The GamePad tablet screen is cool, but does it inspire individuals who aren't as into video gaming to go out and buying a Wii U? Who knows...
I believe one thing Nintendo have to improve on is a stronger Wii Controllers launch lineup. At E3 I felt like they were showing rehashes of 2011's best-sellers with just subtle changes to adapt the games towards the tablet controller. If the PS3 Move
would like to be considered a true contender they require authentic gameplay experiences which you can't access every other system - not only a rehash of Arkham City. But will that happen?
In line with Pachter, Activision would only create games with the console whenever they offered a "conventional controller", just like the recently revealed Pro Controller.
"Activision never said almost anything to me, but I understand that [for] big games like Call Of Duty they said, 'No, we are really not putting it on there should you not give to us a normal controller'. So they gave in."
