Quick, someone tell valve that their new company name is steam!!!

 I still call BS on the whole "Wii-U power is divided among it's parts, hence why it appears weak" argument. Even if that were the case, it wouldn't matter because the gamepad is such a vital piece to the system/ experience that taking it away to make a better looking game would literally take away the value of the console. Let's face it; that second is pretty much the one thing that the Wii-U has going for it. Regardless, even without it, the system would still be leaps and bounds behind PS4, hardware wise, and only somewhat better than PS360. 

Problem with the third party and Nintendo is that third party has pretty already left Wii-U behind. EA was never really there, Activision is just kindof hovering around, Ubisoft is still giving strong support though nothing exclusive like they originally planned, and of course there's Capcom but how long is that company going to last? Nintendo fans pretty much blew Nintendo's chance at strong third party out of the water when 1) barely any of them actually bought the console and 2) out of the ones that did, an even smaller percentage actually bought any of the third party titles. I mean even BO Declassified sold better than BO2 on Wii-U, so you know somethings wrong there. Third party is already on board with the 8th gen consoles, and it's already paid off handsomely for them in the short run, let alone the long. 

The Wii-U game drought came from Nintendo's loss of actual third party support. PS4/ XBone won't have that problem.

Good heavens.  I'm all for saying that situations between Wii-U and PS4/XBone are different, but saying Wii-U had a drought in "noticeable software" and then listing the underlined games kinda makes it seem like you're trying to sabotage your own argument.  Late ports are what got the Wii-U into this mess in the first place and counting DLC as "noticeable software", really?

Also, I can't find anywhere that says D4 is scheduled for a January release, got a link for that?  All I'm finding is the first episode will be Q1.

Well, if PS4 ends up having mega bad drought like my Wii U had, I'll just have to stick with plan A which is to get The Last of Us, Beyond and crack on with Super Mario 3D World etc. No biggie.

First bolded part in relation to the second bolded part is pure gold :D

So you boast at how NFS MW in WiiU blows PS360 versions out of the water, but then say regarding PS4/X1 that there is no huge leap this generation, this made me chuckle so much xD But I know, I know, games on your console of choice always look better. 

Btw. About that first post of yours regarding developers learning the hardware of Wii U and optimising the engines, I recommend you check the Digital Foundry comparisons of Call of Duty Ghosts for Wii U/PS3/360 and Batman Arkham Origins for the said platforms, both games are second generation games for Wii U, see for yourself how much "progress" developers made :D and Criterion is EA owned, probably will be some time until they will make another Wii U game.

The drought won't be as bad for Playstation gamers since they most likely have a PS3, and there are still games being reslesed for it. GT6, Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, Lightning Returns, etc. Nintendo fans didn't have that luxury. Xbox fans, to an extent, don't have that luxury either, but they're still better off than Nintendo fans.

Oh please, if anyone were to pull up an unlabelled graphical comparison between Wii U versions of a game and PS4 versions, I dare them to guess correctly.  The difference just isn't that big...  I was looking at the Assassins Creed one IGN had up and it was only when they had them side by side and only when it was a graphically intensive scene that you could see the difference.  

Wii U had a perfectly fine launch lineup, that wasn't its problem and never was, it had the best launch lineup in gaming history from any standpoint you look at it.  The problem with the Wii U was that it came into the scene with the stigma of being the successor to the Wii which many people labelled as the kiddy or old person console.  The console that abandoned the core gamer.  Thus word of mouth was terrible.  I remember going into the store to buy Zombi U and overhearing two people openly joking around about the Wii U being a bad console.  

I think the major difference is how long the drought will last. I certainly expect X-Box One and PS4 to go through a similar stretch as the Wii U (and nearly every other console at launch) did, the issue is how long of a drought it goes through.

Even though each console goes through a roughly 2 month long game drought, the PS4 and One will have lots of third party support coming in after that in the form of Watch Dogs, the Crew, Thief, the Division, Wolfenstein, KH3, FFXV, etc), along with a few first party offerings. The Wii U only had two "big" titles after its drought until the release of Pikmin 3 in August: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Lego City Undercover. If the Wii U had gotten a decent portion of third party multiplat offerings from the winter and spring, then it wouldn't have had anywhere near as much flak made about it.

So, yes, all three consoles will go through a roughly 2 month drought. However, the Wii U's drought lasted long beyond 2 months, while the PS4's and One's drought won't be nearly as severe afterwards.

That said, the people who are trying to say that the PS4 and One aren't going to go through the same drought as the Wii U simply because they have better graphics are beyond silly.

Yeah I got Killzone and Assassin's creed + a crazy amount of great and FREE PSN games every month.  I'll be fine!

Indie games don't count. They aren't the games majority of people spend 400 smacks on a console for. Proper download titles do count though. Either way for me at least I have enough exclusive to play till march. Ryse, dead rising 3, forza 5, killer instinct, zoo tycoon, FIFA 14 and battlefield 4 will be plenty. Also probably pick up assassins creed 4 in February as well as project spark in January. Then watchdogs and pitfall march and sunset overdrive in summer before getting halo 5 and quantum break in the winter. Best launch year I've ever seen for my tastes.
