"If the $600 price tag in Australia is correct, and if we used the same math as a current Wii, with what we did with the Wii U, than we’d be looking at about $450 US dollars. That’s still pretty darn expensive for a Nintendo console.
Since Nintendo’s first console was released in 1986, with the NES, Nintendo has always maintained a price point of around $200. The only exception to this rule was when they debuted the Wii, which cost $250 on launch day in 2006."
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns director Jake Solomon has founded a new studio to make a life sim game. Here's a new interview with him.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "
Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
the PS3 was 1000$ at launch in Australia. And stuff in Australia are always way more expensive than America.
So stop being a Nintendo hater
Why is it that everyone takes the NEGATIVE Wii U rumors as essentially being facts but they take positive rumors as nothing more than just, well, rumors?
I think it was establish that this price was nothing but speculation on the retails part, and that Australia electronics are usually more expensive.
Oh wait...
They're serious?
Response:LMAO at this article xD
I can see that. Wii U has so much hype. Yea, all games 1080p at 60fps and dx11 graphics with 4dvision support or standard 480p TVs, did I mention that it does 1080p on standard definition TVs?
And its guaranteed not to take an arrow to the knee
