Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on Wii U? Possibility?

Because for some reason everything always has to break down into a console fanboy war. When that happens, it never ends.

Sorry to bump this but... this just happened. XD

Wii U!

Probably best to see if it works on the PS3 before thinking of bringing it over to the 360/Wii U.

Didn't Microsoft already answer to SE in this manner?

At least that's what i read somewhere...

They never said no. It was more of a disagreement on the Xbox live situation. They allowed XI simply because they knew it would drive Japanese sales and gives it an RPG on the system.

No one can argue about the Wii success over the PS3 and 360 but the Wii have not sold twice as many consoles. The Wii is currently at 97 mil while the PS3 and 360 just passed 70 mil.

well these numbers suprise me a little, but i researched a bit and it seems at least xbox360 sold alot this year.
This probably has something to do with the dropping price both consoles experience. at this time its no wonder ps3 and xbox360 are catching up but you should consider the wii released later and reached 70 mil early 2010. thats 4 years after release in 2006.

So you can consider the wii still more succesful (both popularity and income for nitnendo) than sony and micro.

I'm just too old I guess. I remember making fun of my parents trying to play a game and waving the controller around like an idiot. Now, its required? lol

All power to SE if they want to put the effort in to working in all the features of the Wii U, more players is always good. Although I don't know how many people it will realistically draw in considering Nintendo's target audience. Just dont expect it an time soon.

Personally I think they have better things to concentrate on right now than this. Get a solid game with an interested public, then go for the gimmicky system port.

i dont know what your image of the wiiU is, but its certainly not required to "wave" your controller.
I dont even know where you got this, sure the wiiU supports the old Wiimote but the gamepad is the actuall controller.
Besides there is a pro controller thats designed for hardcore players.

So the targeted audience this time is actually both casual and hardcore. (as you can see in the line-up of games)

And just to reiterate that point:

5 GB day 1 update leaves the basic system with 3 GB left, what was Nintendo thinking having such a small storage space.

5 GB day 1 update leaves the basic system with 2GB left, what was Nintendo thinking having such a small storage space.

(Fixed your number)
The basic system shouldn't even exist in the first place. Unless you totally abhor Nintendoland or absolutely have to have a white console, the deluxe set is a far better deal. If you have the 8GB system, you have to have a USB hard drive to buy downloaded versions of disc games.

Nintendo doesn't have a target audience anymore. They are offering games for all audiences. As has been mentioned several times before, I'd like to ask you just how family friendly Assassin's Creed, Bayonetta, Mass effect and zombi U are.

It was a little over 1GB for the update. Not 5GB.
