If Gears 4 is a launch title, I might be forced to get the new xbox on release...
Edit: I need to make sure it has horde mode though...

Nobody will have anywhere to go but backwards and continue developing for the 360 and PS3.

Three flop systems at the same time would definitely keep the last gen alive and healthy.

To coincide with today's announcement, the Wii U (White) is $239.99 at Target today (down from $299.99) - $10 cheaper than the basic PS3 model.

Yeah, that Wii U price actually started yesterday.

I'm sorry, but how is that different from Nintendo's strategy of selling the same games they've been selling for the past 3-4 generations, with a slightly fresher coat of paint (and motion controls, of course)?

I've never understood that about Nintendo : They cater great fan-service, but with the exception of the brief novelties of Wii Sports and Wii Fit, haven't seemed remotely interested in broadening their appear beyond their core fan base. And they wonder why nobody's buying their new console.

I'm guilty of the same "Fucking hell, another Battlefield?" "Oh shit, new Zelda!"

"Unique?" Bwahahaha. Unique like Mario Kart, Smash Bros., an up-rez'd Zelda, a VC platform full of games we already bought on the Wii and back-compat for playing all your old games. Unique, indeed.

Wait, this guy said it best:

As for the Wii U, in the next few weeks Nintendo will be officially announcing Mario 3D, Mario Kart, Smash Bros etc. They are going to have plenty of big titles aside from a remake of the best Zelda game of all time.

Gamespot has a live video stream on their site:
http://www.gamespot.com/features/the...ealed-6408247/

You can test it now as they have a "pre-show" going on.

They're also putting it up on Youtube afterwards, as well as through their Xbox Live App.

A new Mario game every 3-4 years is a hell of a lot different compared to a new Madden everything year. Comparing the two is pretty laughable.

OK, so the gamespot stream didn't work on my GS3 because it needs Flash. However, the official Xbox.com stream shows up on my phone:

:shrug: At least Madden updates its roster.

Core Mario games have some differences, but Mario Kart or Smash Bros are pretty much rehashes every generation.

Sports games are unique though, roster updates are pretty important.

Everything Nintendo does gaming wise is a rehash from 15-20 years ago...I'll never understand the appeal but whatever, I just choose not to buy it.

Gizmo, is there a reason why you're in this thread? Pretty much everything you say is negative and comes off as trolling. You already said you have next to no interest in the new X Box, so why not hang out in the Wii U thread with the other guy.

Man, if they even just show a logo for Killer Instinct somewhere during this event, people are going to lose their shit.

"Game reveal causes mass robbery" will be a catchy headline.

ORLY?

Spoiler:

2006 New Super Mario Bros.
2009 New Super Mario Bros. Wii
2012 New Super Mario Bros 2
2012 New Super Mario Bros. U
2013 New Super Luigi Bros.


I'll buy Mario games as long as they release them but lets not pretend Nintendo is above EA in the milking department. If Nintendo had the resources and could pump them out yearly like Madden, I have no doubt they would.
