WiiU: Porn on Tablet
3ds: Porn in Glass-Free 3d

1) Cause I like Nintendo games and I play third party on PC
2) No, Samsung is great and all but Nintendo platforms is where I like to play games
3) Cause I am not a hipster that spends money on false promises (there are exceptions)

Had N64, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube all at one point because there were too many awesome games I didn't want to miss out on, but eventually they become obselete. I'd get a PS4 before I ever get a PS3 because I heard its way too slow and I can barely handle 360's slow speed after being on X1. Hopefully PSNow establishes well enough to not even have to deal with a PS3 to get the awesome games.

It's just the beginning xmb that is slow...and tbh it's not even that slow. I can go from XMB to playing a game in a minute. 


Did they fix the thing where you had to download every single update chronologically one by one for an older game instead of just the latest?

To be honest i don't know. Whenever i see something has to update i just switch my screen to TV and dont pay attention to what's updating/downloading



PS1 had a better game library than Saturn... the big exclusives like FFVII, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid was there.

N64 was too late... that was a big mistake from Nintendo (same happened with Sony with PS3).

That's something I don't want to have to deal with.

Did people read the OP -_-
Anyway at launch I guess its coz people out there want the new tech regardless (especially from Sony back then) but eventually they have software that shows they are worth the purchase.
As for me I had an N64 and then a PS2 so... yeah fuck the new hardware =P


Not many. :(



Games that I was interested in on respective platforms and the inevitable price cut



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Your OP question 1 kind of eliminates a lot of people answering here except for Xbox/Ouya owners.

Personally chose for Ps3 because of a franchise that was rockin' on ps1 and ps2... Sadly enough it was FF. See what can happen if you don't jump ship!!!?

Besides that Blu-ray was a big plus for me and again Jrpg's were rockin' on Ps1 and 2. Ps3 not the kind i liked.

But I am still happy with the crappy streamin', Netflix, PsPlus and now Final Fantasy X... Game of the gen confirmed!



I bought a WiiU because it has Nintendo written on it. That seemed extremely reasonable to me.

And it paid off :)
