Forums - Gaming Discussion - Are you going to abandon PS3 and X360 for WiiU?

I will by no means abandon it, but my PS3 will get a whole lot less usage once WiiU launches

NO WAY.

In fact I went from being incredibly stoked for Nintendo's new console to having zero desire to own one.

Its not a big step graphically at all apparently. The controller is massive and button layout it crazy, plus all they've announced are ports of games we already are gettin on the HD systems.

I dont know don't get me wrong if Nintendo can show me some legit reasons to buy this thing I will for sure. I'm always open to content from any company but this system just doesn't look appealing whatsoever.


My thoughts exactly. Especially with the rumour that it will be one WiiPad controller per system only. Any cool multi-player features just went straight out the window.

That's because they actually WERE PS360 graphics...

You are saying that this isn't better then the PS3? 
and another thing, Reggie said that the WiiU will have games running at 1080p. Your average PS360 game usually runs at 720p with framerates between 30 and 60 fps. Most PS360 games don't even support 1080p. 1080p and 60 fps means that it will have a lot more power. 
One last thing, developers still need to tap into it. 

 

"Reggie said that the WiiU will have games running at 1080p."

PS360 does have games running at 1080P too. For all we know the usual Wii U games might run at 720P too. Maybe with better graphic though, lets wait for something else then a tech demo. The PS3 tech demo from 6 years ago is better then anything on PS3 even today. Nintendo isnt known to sell their console at a loss or at a high price point so I wouldnt assume it will do a lot more visually speaking. With that said, I will not be dissapointed if they do.


yeah true. It will support 1080p as the current HD consoles, but no one ever said that games will run natively on this resolution. And 1080p and 60FPS ? Haha no way. At least not the technical impressive ones like Assassin's Creed or Dirt.

That tech demo was okay, but not the best a console has ever seen. Especially since it was only one bird and... nothing else. Hardly impressive technically speaking.



No. Why would I? It is just another nintendo console.

From what they showed definitely not since the only real promise is perhaps slightly improved graphics, if that was all I wanted I'd get a PC. Didn't really like the controller and well no real exclusives were shown to make me want it

Too soon man



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

What was shown on that "WiiU" was indeed running on either PS3 or X360 (for multiplats).



Nope, The only way I will ever buy another nintendo console is if nintendo shows me the 3rd party support!!!

SHOW ME THE MONE.....errr GAMES!!!!
