That PS4 Domination is formidable!
If their was ever a month for the Xbox One to come out on top, this was it.
Sadly it was eventually going to happen, but at least the Wii U is doing much better compared to recent years. They are finally making profits now and they are finding new kind of products to make money from like Amiibo. From what I've seen, they are selling out all over the place. About eight analysts have now raised their profits estimate because they think Nintendo's profits will be triple of what they expected before. That's definitely an improvement so I hope Nintendo keep it up and prepare well for next-gen so we will hopefully see their next console launching well with great sales.
wii u wont last much longer
That isn't true because the majority of good games are made by Nintendo, so they make a huge profit from that alone. The Wii U will last a lot longer because it has so many great games in 2015, and not all of them are announced yet. We get Zelda U, StarFox, Splatoon, Yoshi's Wooly World, Xenoblade, and a bunch more! I know it's the popular thing to bash on the Wii U but it is not at all going to die.
PS4 is the next PS2! Duck yes! #GloriousPS4!
Now focusing more on PS Vita and The Last Guardian SONY...
To those saying the Wii U isn't next gen, then can you explain how it outputs 1080p 60fps on most games? Lol
Nintendo is still The onde who males more profit, So MS and Sony dont have much to brag about. MS is desperately trying to improve its install base by selling their console by a líder price than they should (therefore by a loss) and ITA The same with Sony. Nintendo is The onde making more profits, evento if it is not selling that well
That XBO comeback is formidable.
Hopefully WiiU can do the same, because I got my eye on it.
X1+WiiU= Best variety combo.
Well deserved for Xbox.
dark times for nintendo
