I think that the consoles sales will boost when people realise that they can 'get free games'. The problem most people have with buying a console I think is the cost of games and how many there are, if you want 5 games that's like £200, quite a lot to spend in one go. People will be turning a profit illegally by softmodding consoles for people that don't want to risk damaging it themselves too and IMO it'll end the life of the WiiU wayyyy to prematurely...
not in the slightest. Even if a full blown hack apperaed with games booting off standard dvd-r, I wouldnt imagine a big change in the long run. I'm a die hard Nintendo fan and I am really struggling to put a Wii-U into my finances, hacked or not.
The WiiU is a brick even for hackers now, the sales will never go UP..
But... the N64 and the Gamecube both flopped.Super Smash and Zelda is what's going to drive the sales of the Wii U. Virtual Console titles as well. When Nintendo realizes they can sell GameCube and Nintendo 64 games to us all over again...
But... the N64 and the Gamecube both flopped.
The N64 survived solely thanks to North America - it bombed big time everywhere else. The same can be said for the Gamecube. Don't get me wrong, they're not "all bad", they just had certain issues and entered the market at the wrong time.Compared to the PS1 and PS2, I can see that. Hell, those are the systems I grew up with.
God damn, if i could play back ups on my wiiu now I would buy another one just because of it!!!
