Dead Island: Riptide publisher explains Wii U absence

@Kaobasa @badwedgie00 I don't know about more popular. They're both around 75 million. Maybe Xbox 360 is ahead by a million.

@Kaobasa @badwedgie00 The 360 is popular in America over the PS3.....where in Japan, the 360 all but died 3 years ago, while Sony and Nintendo made a lot of profit.

@wcwj26 the original Xbox and the 360 bombed in Japan. Nobody in Japan wants an American made consoles because they are shit.

@badwedgie00 @wcwj26 Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, Miyamoto works for Nintendo because he wants to and not because he must strictly do it? I don't think Sony's vision would offer anything to Miyamoto for what he wants to accomplish in a developer perspective. Nintendo is the organization that makes more sense for him to be with, not to mention all the years he has devoted there.

@badwedgie00 @wcwj26 I think if miyamoto retires I don't think he would join any other game company after all sony and microsoft will limit his creativity to mostly graphics, and most of his franchises would be shels of thier former selves, just look at Rare

@badwedgie00 @wcwj26 Not true ... Sony did not dominate this generation ... the Wii outsold it by a large margin. And it you have a PC, there's really "no" need for a PS3 ... how's that for logic?

@badwedgie00 Nintendo and Miyamoto are synonymous. The fact is if Miyamoto went to Sony his vision would be reduced to graphics over innovation. It's not going to happen anyway and I think gaming is richer for it.

@badwedgie00 What do you mean it depends on personal preference? Yes, you can think a game is great while others don't, but that's not the point being made. He's talking about financially successful. It's absolutely no mystery that the Xbox is far more popular than the PS3 which would naturally mean that its exclusives will sell far better. I think you know that but are being blissfully ignorant of it.

Thankfully the PS4 is shaping up to be a nifty console. However with the bad rep they've earned during the PS3 generation they have a lot to come back from.

@wcwj26 Some might dislike Nintendo, but that is the company, not the person of Miyamoto. Miyamoto joining Sony would be a victory because it would welcome a creative genius that could help develop a greater variety of first-party titles for Sony.

@badwedgie00 M$ does have more successful IP's. The sales speak for themselves. As for Miyamoto joining Sony,I doubt Sony fans would want that! They make it pretty obvious they HATE Nintendo!

@wcwj26 I don't know about M$ having more successful IPs, that depends on one's own personal preferences. However, in this case, a born-and-bred Japanese like Miyamoto-san would choose his own ethnic group to that of "foreigners". Race-based preferences would overrule other factors.

@badwedgie00 Sure, because PS3 and Vita are the dominant force right now! Sony headquarters may be in Japan, but im sure Miyamoto would rather go to a company that has successful IP's that people BUY!

@96augment Sure, it's a good number, but compared to the other big sellers this gen, it should of sold better.

When Mario Kart Wii is selling 33.6m units, you have to admit it's a bit of an alarming gap!

@wcwj26 8.7 million units is not impressive? Dude, that was just a stupid thing to say.

@wcwj26 wow......I guess you forgot about the PS1 and the PS2 and the BIllions of dollars those two consoles brought in during a 20 year span? fucking retards these days.

@Jecoh Halo and GoW ALONE have pretty much outsold every Sony IP put together! Regardless whether you like them or not, money talks and these two have made plenty!

@wcwj26 Exactly what worthwhile Microsoft first party games are there?

@danmanpro Sony's biggest selling IP is GT5 with 8.7m units!

Hardly impressive with all the Sony fans out there!

@nic1357 Whatever you say pal! Guess im not dealing with sharpest knife in the draw!

@wcwj26 I know exactly what you're saying and it still does not make any sense. Your logic is not as sound as you naively seem to think.
