Nintendo launched its new gaming console, the Wii U, last year, to a rather mixed response. Now that the console spent some time in the market, we’ve been able to analyze it a little better. And what we’ve unearthed is a bit of a disturbing trend. The most popular games for Wii U apparently is Super Mario World, which is a fabulous game undoubtedly, but it still is a Nintendo game. But at $350, it does seem quite an expense to enjoy this game, especially when you consider the fact that there are very few other games on offer. Nintendo was supposed to launch Pikmin 3, but that’s also been delayed to August, while ‘The Wonderful 101’ seems to have vanished into oblivion. Analysts say the delay is being caused by the company’s inability to fully grasp the concept of HD development. But the good news is that Nintendo is [+more]

NINTENDO-WII (2)

Did Nintendo imagine that gamers would worry about the 3DS future just before the Xbox 720 and PS4 is set to arrive? No matter what it thought, we know that Nintendo Wii U started only steadily akin to the tortoise of the hare and tortoise story. However, slow and steady indeed seems to be signs of a winner. Despite a dip in price just months after its arrival the Nintendo Wii U has finally got its groove. Amid disappointment and raised eyebrows, it has finally strengthened its hold on the market. In fact, our sources report that the 3DS game sale figures could even soar above the 20 million mark in the US. This figure covers only the physical sales—the digital tale is worth an epic narration altogether.  Against the 3DS sales last year, the prevailing figures spell a 55 per cent hike—both for the digi and physical niches!

PS4 Vs Xbox 720: How Much Who Loves Developing Games?

The likes of Sony and Microsoft have no choice – with the ever rising popularity of smartphone and tablets as gaming devices, their consoles are taking a back seat as the preferred medium for gaming. Their products seem to be headed for troubled times ahead as there’s no stopping the onslaught of mobile gaming. Take Sony’s PS4 for instance – the company is going all out to show how much it loves and cares for its game developers, in a huge effort to keep them happy and continue developing games for the PS4. We’re thinking Microsoft too will have to follow suit if it wants to keep the Xbox 720 popular. Sony has supposedly taken a lot of inputs from developers during the making of its latest gaming console, the PS4. The PS4 has also made it easier for independent developers to design games for this device. The more say [+more]

GTA 5 vs Call of Duty

Hopes are high on the release of the latest version of Grand Theft Auto. According to Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia, GTA 5 should be able to outsell Call of Duty 2013 by selling 18 million copies in the first six months. Bhatia has based his estimates using a “hypothetical probability model” by integrating information such as 250 staffers working on the game for five years. He also estimates that Rockstar would have pumped in about $137.5 million towards the development of this game. The analyst suggests that if Rockstar is able to sell a mimimum of 15 million copies and not spend heavily on marketing, they could generate $193.6 million in sales. At the same time, he predicts the makers will be able to ship 18 million copies following first 6 months of the GTA 5 release. Rockstar has said that they have delayed launch of the game to [+more]

Wii performance 2

The Wii U was one of the most talked about launches in the gaming console space during 2012, but then things got quieter once it did come out. Even though the Wii U has a slower processor than its competitors like the Xbox 360 and the PS3, don’t get too disheartened. In terms of graphics, this baby’s got a much more powerful GPU made by AMD. Here are a few screenshots from the Wii U screen that show its performance: The one strong point though lies in Nintendo’s inclusion of a tablet game controller element as well as asynchronous gameplay capabilities in the Wii U. However, don’t expect the Wii U to run as smooth when it comes to playing multiplayer games on a large screen TV. The console just isn’t as powerful to handle so many devices. But at $349, we’d say it makes for quite a steal, especially [+more]
