Honestly.. give me a percentage: what do you think the chances of such a thing are? It'd be hysterical, but still.. so, so slim..

Wii U/PS3 multiplatform? I'd say higher than 10%, but less than 50%.

I...don't get it.

HE crashed landed your wagon into the wrong planet. He was presented with the following options: crash land into earth, non-stop party planet or alien hostile deadly desert planet, needless to say he choose the wrong option. Also he doesnt really know how to crash land and most probably died in the process, it unclear how many survivors are left.

A mainline Final Fantasy on a Nintendo console: somewhere, old man Yamauchi rolls his eyes. At this point I kind of think Versus XIII will be vaporware. If not, it needs to go multiplatform because the development costs must be HUGE.

$349 (and a 3DS-like bomba launch with another Ambassador Program the following year) November 18th, 2012 New Super Mario Bros Mii, Pikmin 3, Star Tropics Adventure pi/2 GTA V at launch

You, sir, get my first Mel Brooks gif of the thread. Oh yes.

Was the Bird Demo shown off at CES? I recently noticed that there is newer videos on YouTube of the Zelda HD demo from CES, but I can't find anything new on the "Japanese Garden Demo". As far as anyone knows, is E3 the only place where this has been on display to the public?

[Terrell]

Pretty much. Unless they lose a shit ton of money they will never leave the console race.

Ummm, in spite of the 360's success, that's EXACTLY what they did. If they enter another generation in the red and don't make gains over their success with the 360, their investors are going to start wondering why they're throwing money into a giant fucking pit with no actual gains.

Yup. They've built strong ties with third party developers regarding the development process of the 360, development of games, online stuff and more. The chances of them bailing out are slim to none I'd say.

As I said above, if the 360 successor isn't positioned to outdo the 360, we're in for another string of red ink on the balance sheet that Microsoft can't shrug off to investors who are wondering what the fuck they've been building to for the past 10 years.

Just because a company has tons of money doesn't mean anything if it's not using it to actually make more of it. And regardless of what everyone thinks of MS' good will in the industry, they'll drop it like THAT if they get enough heat from investors to do so.

A company can be in red it's just a matter of how much. They have to be on their hands and knees when they drop out and I just don't think that's happening anytime soon.

The mods are probably letting it go to 40k just to fuck with us. We'll have to jump back and forth.

I see someone doesn't remember how much of a money the Xbox business has been. The 360 has made them money, yes, but the introduction of the successor is basically going to erode all of the financial gains made near-instantly.

Nah this thread was just put up early.

[Fourth Storm]

Ah, thread 4. Let's make this one the best yet! More thoughtful speculation and less stealth/blatant trolling.

[BY2K]

So when does this party gets crazy?

[udivision]

So when does this party gets crazy?

after the next nindir

[GameplayWhore]

So when does this party gets crazy?

At this point, I'm starting to suspect that the post rate might somehow decrease if actual news were reported.

Thank you!

And it was for us 50-per-page folks lol :P

[DragonSworne]

Capcom is bringing Castlevania to Wii U

[HylianTom]

So when does this party gets crazy?

Probably around the investor's meeting.

But then again, ya never know when some developer with an axe to grind will run to a website and make a snarky comment about Mario physics..

[DECK'ARD]

Disappointed at thread title.

Episode IV: A New Hype was too good to waste.

[SquiddyCracker]

So, what do you guys think will end up in the Wii U?

[GameplayWhore]

Disappointed at thread title. Episode IV: A New Hype was too good to waste.

This is what we get when we fail to make Tom the threadmaster, every time.

[-Pyromaniac-]

So, what do you guys think will end up in the Wii U?

ram, gpu, cpu, storage, bluray drive

[GameplayWhore]

So, what do you guys think will end up in the Wii U?

In mine? Any game with a glitch that allows modding. I want to force installs onto my usb drive again.

Never trust optical lasers, that's my motto.

But we don't know if that will happen. As far as we know the next xbox will be very profitable. I mean yea worst case the nextbox kills MS gaming part but why talk about worst case and not best case? Talk like this is boring and isn't fun to read.
Hell talking about the money side of things is always boring.

When BurntPork gets back.

Better change it to 100 (;

So, what do you guys think will end up in the Wii U?

A fan, a graphics card and some ram...maybe.

[methodman]

yep this thread title is fail. a new hype was awesome

[HylianTom]

This is what we get when we fail to make Tom the threadmaster, every time.

I didn't want the job. I would've hit too hard against the Nintendo haters around here with thick sarcasm, parody, and general all-around snarkiness. It's for the best that someone else took that duty.

Very profitable? I think it will be more profitable than the Xbox 360 (and, by extension, more profitable than the Xbox), but so far Microsoft's track record has involved massive, massive initial overall losses, at least for the first half decade of each console.

In other words, you should be given the second E3 thread It'll come to that, believe! so as to add to the chaos in a most godly manner.

I also liked "Wii U Speculation Engine 4.0: It´s on par" from last thread. It references something specific that pretty much (hype train pics aside) caused the most amount of insane postery in the last month.

[AceBandage]

what was it D:

Wii U [ST] the Third: The Castle of Miyamoto

A play on the Lupin movie.

[IceDoesntHelp]

No, I don't think so. He just hasn't posted in this thread yet.

Capcom is bringing Castlevania to Wii U

For some reason I thought I read "Cakevanilia"

[DECK'ARD]

I support this.

It also sets up a nice trilogy to hit around E3 time:

Episode V: The Ninjas Strike Back
Episode VI: Return Of The Reggie

Ehh..wut?
Is this just what you think?

That would require haptics. And taste feedback on the DRC.
