Nothing per se at this point, but their previous stance on DRM allowed their main competitor to gain a large PR advantage.
However saying that the Xbox One will fail like the WinRT did is very premature; the PS3 had a slow start and still made a respectable showing this generation, and the 3DS was considered a debacle until a price cut and the right games came along and it suddenly exploded in popularity.
- jdjb 13y agoI feel we'll see the same thing with the Wii U. Everyone is dismissing it right now and for good reason (lack of games). But Nintendo did announce at least 1 game for every major line they have running at the last E3 so I expect the Wii U sales will start to jump up right around we see the PS4 and XB1 releases.
- guizzy 13y agoI hope so; I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Nintendo seems to be getting ready for a major push, but I think it will need to make a price cut; not because the console is a bad deal, but because they need to generate positive headlines in the gaming press for the gaming community to stop seeing it as having no future.
- dragontamer 13y agoWiiU is the only backwards compatible system, showing strong support for consumer rights. I frankly am most excited about WiiU this generation, but I'm holding off on buying one till more games come out. But Earthbound on Virtual Console, and Pikmin 3 coming out make it a compelling buy already IMO.
