I guess they've been in "trouble" for a long while now. Granted that one massive THQ sale could have helped, but probably not by much.

Then again it could be one last ditch effort to get funds or something nice to do. I think it is awesome though.


Yeah that's what I'm saying. If they had a "We're fucked, please help us by buying our cheap games" sale, I would have bought some. O well, maybe that's not how it works.

The last huge THQ sale brought in 3 million and bumped their stock from $1.09 to $1.57 If I remember correctly. They were in the hole by ten's of millions.

The Wii U is not getting Unreal Engine 4 because Nintendo is cheap cheap cheap. You don't put UE4 into a console that doesn't need it. Nintendo is in the low end market not the high end. UE is designed for the top tech in the market which now includes consoles to certain extents thanks to Sony and Microsoft. And in terms of success in business an industry relies on there being a top and bottom grade. So Nintendo isn't in the wrong to make the consoles it does.

But we all want a Wii U because of Nintendo IPs. Which there is no upgraded version of if you purchase a premium tech console. A person has to own a Wii U for those experiences, many of which are the pinnacles of their respective genres at times.

There's not much sense in Nintendo crowding Sony's and Microsofts premium console market, even though we'd all like a super console that can offer it all with Nintendo IP and a platform competitive enough for even the most ambitious of the third parties.

If the Wii U fails then its because Nintendo failed to profit in the cheap console market, not because it didn't include the higher grade processors Sony and MS are offering in their products.


Also; the Sega Dreamcast was the most graphicaly advanced console of its time and it was powered by unreal engine. Did that help it sell? Of course not.

But, will the ship still float without third party support? Only time will tell.

The Wii U is getting decent third party support, mainly from Platinum games who are developing Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2. As for other titles that are not going to be on Wii U such as Battlefield 4 they hardly matter considering anyone who owns a Wii U won't buy them; just look at Call of Duty Black Ops 2 on Wii U right now.

Because everyone goes out and buys a Nintendo system to play games made by developers other than Nintendo.
