Pachter: Wii U is not going to work

"I don’t think they suck -- I just think that they really believe that, 'If we’re still novel, everything we do will work.' This isn’t going to work," he said. "Hardcore gamers will buy them; hardcore Nintendo fanboys will buy it. They could put out a piece of cardboard and say that it'll play Mario and they'll buy it."

Quote:

Interestingly, he also claimed that the Wii U Pro Controller exists because Activision threatened to withhold Call of Duty from the system without one: "Activision never said anything to me, but I know that [for] big games like Call Of Duty they said, 'No, we're not putting it on there if you don't give us a conventional controller'. So they gave in."

Screw Acti-lack-of-vision and Call of Dooty.

That said, I am glad they got Nintendo to make a conventional controller.

makes sense I mean look at how many crap cheap Wii versions of games have been made because of the controller instead of getting decent ports.

He also said the 3DS wouldn't work and Facebook games are the future.

My 3DS works. Well, actually it crashes when I go to the Nintendo online store with it, so I guess it doesn't work. Pachter was right! Good thing I don't give a shit about the Nintendo online store.
