Crytek UK (Homefront 2) received a dev kit, at least.

2.65 millions, to be precise. That's with a big marketing campaign and the 'Wii' brand behind it at the height of its popularity. It was a bad concept with limited appeal.For all the shit it gets wii music still sold millions

I would say that Wii Music is actually the cause of tHe decline in Wii's general public perception.

Sure, those numbers would be very impressive for just about any other game, but imagine how people would react if the next CoD sells 2.65 million. No one would say, 'you know, that's still really high'. They'd be wondering what the hell went wrong.I think its more a really good concept with some poor execution, and yeah compared to other wii__ games its sales look shit (except wiichess lol) but 2.65 million sales is nothing to be sniffed at
Is Crysis 3 coming to WiiU?
I'd love it to. Using the padlet to configure my weapons or being the zoom for my rifles would be amazing. Use it as a Xray scanner for seeing combatants behind walls. Having the screen completely huddles. Bring it on.

All this dampened by the high probability that they're not working on Timesplitters 4, or indeed anything that isn't Homefront 2.
Considering how well WSR sold, I think you are wrong.
That would be a pretty terrible argument. WSR has sold 30 million copies which is a fantastic result by any sensible metric. You can't compare it with a game that was a forced bundle for several years.Well, it could be argued that Wii Sports Resort represented a staggering decline in popularity for the Wii Sports series.
Hi gaming "journalists"! Hope you're enjoying us doing your jobs for you!
Haha
If I'm wrong, I'm just a poster on a forum.
But I wonder what it says about the news sites that use me as a source if that happens. :O
Oh! I should totally make a topic about that article. That would be deliciously Meta.Haha

Wii Sports Resort, 30 million? What?
Yeah. In the one region where we can compare unbundled vs unbundled it was a step down, but I don't know that this would be staggering.That would be a pretty terrible argument.

The biggest problem with WSR/M+ is that they arrived about a year later than they should have.

Nintendo Financial Results Briefing for December 2011 ending quarter, page "6". Game got 29.87 million life to date sales (to retailers, I believe).
Yeah, I was actually a little surprised. I thought it was 20-25m, so I just had to hunt around for some corroborating, non-Chartz evidence.
Y'all need to come off it; you can't have your cake and eat it.
It's good to take pride in the fact that some people around here have connections and are in the know.
But when they come here and dump info through their own volition, it's fair game. You can't take this odd sort of high ground certain people are trying to hold on to. It just makes GAF look collectively a bit unstable and creepy (I know, I know).

The problem lies in that this is still just a forum. Any news that sites are using is now third hand at best, which in the normal world, would be dismissed out right.Y'all need to come off it; you can't have your cake and eat it.

you know what I wanted to ask you but forgot, just out of curiosity. Are you sitting on any information that you CAN'T say for one reason or another? Or have you said everything you have heard?Oh, don't get me wrong. I am offended as a journalist.
First thing they should have done is contact me and whether I give up the goose or tell them to fuck off, that due diligence is important. Then they at least tried.
But this is the...third, I think, time this has happened for different rumors and usually they just run it straight off my posts. Investigating your sources is important, even if you come up with nothing~
No, it's still a disaster. Yes they have excuses, but they are still burning through billions like it's nothing. You don't survive doing that, regardless of your excuse.You know how we were talking about the difference between the way Sony's losses and the way Nintendo's losses will be reported by the gaming media? Well....
Sony's 4 billion loss isn't the disaster it seems, apparently...

Or that they played their cards a year early. They didn't need to preemptively present it at that E3, but they thought that Microsoft or Sony was going to introduce something similar, and they wanted to get their foot in the brainshare door first.

Of course you can. This goes for Wii as well, it's even registered as "rental of humidifiers (for household purposes)". As for Wii U, handbag frames, purse frames and clothing are most important as that is something frequently traded with. There's of course Nintendo branded candy as well, which the Nice Classification 30 handles.Can't you have trademarks in two separate types of business at the same time?

I've never used my Wii as a humidifier before. Better start pouring water on it.
