Have Nintendo's tiny fridges stopped you from spending more money on WiiW, DSiW? [roundtable]

VC, etc.? Pretty self-explanatory. Has the limited amount of space on the Wii and DSi actually caused you to spend less money on downloadable games? For me, it TOTALLY has. I pretty much stopped buying stuff on the Wii until the SD solution was put in place. And I haven't bought a DSiWare game in quite some time, even though there are plenty that appeal to me, due to space limitations. I could clean out my fridge, but I kind of don't want to, and it's a pain in the ass. Even that small inconvenience is enough to stop me from buying a new game. How about you guys? Has Nintendo's cheapness actually cost them money, in this case? Or are we just a fiscally insignificant minority? (I don't expect you guys to have an answer for the last one, but we could try to figure it out, somehow.) URL to share (right click and copy)

Where Wii is concerned... Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Sure the SD card "solution" helps, but it definitely doesn't provide for me a suitable remedy. I find the SD "fix" slow, clunky, and discouraging to use. Not only has the service prevented me from downloading new content considerably, it has prevented me from playing previously downloaded games. When the system has four pages of channels, but I can't even fill up two without receiving a storage space warning... There's a problem. And yes, I know the SD card "feature" works and yes perhaps I am simply too impatient to wait for the SD card menu to load, then all the games to load, then the individual game to start, but as things stand, I find the method limiting. I have only recently had storage problems with the DSi, so my feelings regarding this aren't quite as heated. |

gamewizard65 said:Nope. I never really cared about the amount of space on the Wii. I pretty downloaded whatever I wanted, cause I knew if I ran out of space, I could always redownload whatever game I had already purchased. I never felt I was being inconvenienced by having to 'clean out the firdge". And to be honest, I don't remember really having to do that much. I have close to 50 games downloaded, but I honestly cannot remember having to delete many games when I needed a new one. Im sure I did, but I guess since it was something that never bugged me, I never really thought about it while actually doing it.
With that being said, Im glad the SD solution took place. I have all my games on my SD card, but I do need to redownload them all since I transferred everything over to my Red Wii. Thats probably something I will do this weekend.
I guess in a way you could say that it probably did cost Nintendo some money since there are people(like yourself) and Im sure others who didn't download as much. Probably compared to the big picture though, its probably like pennies to Nintendo. At the same time, being a company in business to make money, Nintendo should be looking for ways to correct this with thier next console. Hopefully they are learning from MS and Sony to have different size harddrives available for people, since some like to download tons of stuff and others may be happy with just a few gigs worth of memory. Thier next console should internally have a gew gigs and then the option to add more to the console. I guess it all depends on how much money they perceive they lost this gen. and how much they will make with thier next console by giving thier customers options on buying more memory.
This year should prove to be interesting, at least in regards to what is going on with thier next console and when we should see it's release. While I would love Wii in HD and all that, I am pretty content with my current Wii. I feel at the earliest it will be 2012 when thier next major console is released. Wait, what? You can do this? How? I gave up a lot of DSiWare titles when I picked up my DSi XL, and I would LOVE to get them on the XL. Can you really do this? |
