Not to knock Ralston, as he has a good point, but remember when we thought the NV primary was the last we would hear from him until 2020.

Ralston is supposed to be hibernating. Like Selzer. So they can be refreshed for their 5 minutes of relevance again in 4 years.
what about the neo geo pocket color

That's the thing, Wii was a fluke. I don't mean that to dismiss Nintendo's business acumen or anything, it did extremely well and it was a very good product. It came out at exactly the right time and for the right price.
But Nintendo seemed to look at the success in a very superficial way, without understanding the context. Iwata was even talking up Wii Sports Club and Wii Fit U as system saviors, but fundamentally the console didn't have anything to offer over the Wii to people who just jumped on that train who were otherwise not interested in video games. They already have a Wii with those games, why plop down $300 to play those games but slightly better looking?
It's amazing how well Nintendo read the market in 2006 and then completely blew it in 2012.
And I love the Wii U's library of games. Just a really poor value if you weren't already going to compulsively buy every Mario and Zelda game.

Five bucks to whomever can guess which media outlet tweeted this out and has this an article title.
No looking at Twitter.
Didn't the Dreamcast basically end Sega's hardware business?

The milk's gone bad, but the memes are fresh.
another way to look at it is that both ended their respective first party's console business

Like, I love the Wii U... but ya, probably. Shame some real greats like Tropical Freeze and 3D World are trapped on there. Hopefully those get ported eventually to the NX or whatever. Tropical Freeze, at least. Don't have much hope for 3D World.
And OMG, yeah, the name stuff. Like... I worked retail when the Wii U came out at a Toys R Us. And forget about the consoles and Wii v Wii U and DS v 3DS (which were both definitely things). People struggle with the naming scheme of their game series. Like, we're talking 2012, right? When the Wii U and NSMBU were out? You (not you specifically, but just a general you) wouldn't believe the amount of people who thought that NSMB DS was the latest version just because ithad the word "New" in the title (and it's the one that caught their eye first I guess). So many people thought it was like a label or advertising or something instead of just a part of the name of the series (because of all the contexts in which people normally seeing the word "new" and that being so contrary to that to see it used that way).
Obviously, that in particular doesn't seem to have really hurt the sales of the series (or maybe it partly did for NSMB2, but there were other factors going on at the same time with that like a deluge of Mario in general), but yeah, it was fascinating seeing firsthand just how much naming and branding matters and not to underestimate how much stuff like that can trip people up.

Have we noted Rodrigo Duterte is a disgusting idiot.
Good luck in the South China Sea if you can't even get a meeting with the US President because of your moronic bravado.

As an aside to what ya'll are talking about here, I am shook to the core, wondering what universe I am in when the Fox News website is actually talking about problems with the labor system regarding technology.
Granted, there are some stupid claims there - Obama has talked about this, as has his current Chief of Staff and former Economic Advisor - but the bit where they suggested to pay companies to slow down on technology had me laugh a few years off of my life. What a fucking American concept to even entertain, because we're so hoodwinked by dogma and social status quos that we really think that is an answer. A half-measure that does fuck all. Sounds very..Fox News, dare I say it?
It also ignores Hillary's willingness to expand the EITC, which while I think isn't enough at fucking all, it's more than Trump's "let's bring back jobs that won't likely make it to 2020" level of populism. All three have failed in not being fully honest to the likely climate, but they all fail by degrees. One of which fails by likely assuming it's not real, and we all know who that dude with the red hat is.
I felt I saw and quoted enough of her. I was getting a bit miffed knowing people would feel the world lost a hero in her.

Good luck defending your territorial waters without Obama's help, you Duterte moron.
Can't believe (well, I do believe it, and quite understand it) people like him, Trump, Putin and Boris Johnson are surging in the world.
Ugh.
I wonder if the casual market is actually favoring high-powered consoles. I had a roommate who bought PS4 thanks to the hype, but he doesn't really seem to play it much...That's just my anecdote though.
The Wii U didn't really have a identifiable gimmick going for them. Everyone was pretty confused by their first presentation of it. It felt like Nintendo wasn't sure what to do next.
I remember reading even Nintendo was caught-off surprised by the wii's massive success, so much they understocked the consoles. It's too bad, that Splatoon or Mario Maker weren't at launch though. They still have interesting software, but it was too late.
Duterte shouldn't be a leader, jesus.
White supremacist, pro-rape, homophobic, anti-Semitic xenophobic trash. Thankfully the only people she'll get in the way of are the cemetery groundskeepers from now on.

I went casual with the PS3 (ended up using it mainly for media) and have a PS4. The online stores make consoles attractive casual systems.

Did Hillary? Or was she coughing up a lung when they asked her to speak?

I mean she's not wrong minus the religious angle. The nuclear bomb has been one of the best peacemakers in the history of this world.
She was interviewed.
Actually had, again, a decent answer on the emails and transparency issue in those segments.
...but who knows what kind of pill regimen they had her on to get her through it.

The implicit pointing her quote makes isn't about peacekeeping, but American exceptionalism. God picked America as prosperous, hence why we took the country from those savage natives.

I agree on Splatoon and Mario Maker. Especially when you consider how much Splatoon has sold on such a small userbase.
There's no obvious easy fix for the Wii U's follies, but I hope Nintendo does more to think outside the box for NX's launch. Zelda will be there of course, but they can't just slap on another mini game collection and another 2D Mario and call it good while waiting nine months to release anything else.
If there's a new 3D Mario and new Pokemon within six months of launch that'll be good to keep momentum going, but they'll need something original and unique too to define the console early on. Something like Splatoon without just being a Splatoon 2. (Although if they don't have a Splatoon sequel already in development for NX they're crazy)

"A lot of questions about Hillary Clinton after a coughing incident. We'll talk more about it after these messages."
On my local news just now, too. I hate our dumb media and there's gonna be another 8 years of this nonsense.

I've had like a steady stream of alcohol throughout the day. I'm a mess atm.
I bet Tim Kaine drinks non-alcoholic beer.

The failing NYT is too busy writing about Hillary letting reporters onto her plane, and how Bernie can't get the last of her bros #withher to talk about how Trump used money from his Foundation, which he doesn't put money into, to curry favour with an AG with an open case against him and then accidentally misdeclared it to the IRS.
They must not have enough reporters from the failing. Or Hillary has trapped them all on her plane.

Nice to see one of the original people focusing squarely on 538 and Silver this election cycle.
