That isnt the point, the ram performance isnt the issue, the step up in supporting architecture is.

Why buy a DDR3 rig now instead of waiting for DDR4 to become standardized?, you are simply limiting future upgradability in doing so, it would be like buying a AGP based system when PCIE was new.

Future graphics cards and processors will have a much greater performance margin under DDR4 system bus architecture in the coming years.

Wait what counts as modern FF games?? PS2/PS3, just PS3?? MMO's??

Anything that replaces soft with  -enix.

I am mainly referring to FFXIII series but I didn't like FFXIV's Original Launch either but from what I hear, the relaunch was an epic success

WiiU deserves second. PS4 deserves first. Those 2 always have the best third party/exclusive support gen after gen

All apart of Enix's master plan to tarnish the reputation of its largest rivals. First they buy them, then they make them develop shitty games, then they hire shitty PR guys for them =P Their latest trick, have them release that shitty FFVII game on PS4.

Agreed. PS4 will most likely deserve first place at the end of this gen. But now I think Wii U deserves it by far. XBOX just seems pointless to me. Why does it exist? What iconic franchises does it have besides Gears of War and Halo? You can play most of their games on PS4 or PC. And they'll run better as well. Will Microsoft ever make money of the XBOX brand? They still lost more than they earned in total (correct me if I'm wrong).

yeah I mean I'm sure there are those out there that really want it and love all the first parties and stuff but I just am never lured to them.  I was also factoring in all the free stuff and superior third party when I said PS4 deserved the top spot.  Stuff like sharplay is really next gen and I have greatly enjoyed Stick it to the Man, Dead Nation, Pixeljunk, Resogun, Injustice, Secret Ponchos, and others that have been free while also playing the heck out of TLoU Remastered, Destiny, Sleeping Dogs Definitive, Shadow of Mordor, Infamous Second Son and First Light, and soon LBP3.  Meanwhile my WiiU I bought in June has given me fun stuff like DKCTF, WWHD, MK8, SSBU, and Rayman Legends.

Equilibrium? How? Wii U continues its record of bad sales.

Sorry OP, but just the indie scene alone on Wii U is so much better than you try to paint it.

In the first year, meaning through 2013? Yes, it was slow going and had it's issues. But through 2014, and especially within the last several months? It has literally become just as good and prolific, as far as steady flow of releases and quality of releases, on a weekly basis, as 3DS eShop. eShop on Wii U is kicking ass, honestly, and for those who haven't bothered to notice, more and more indie titles are announced as coming to eShop every month, sometimes every other week or more. And many of those are announced as only coming to Wii U (or only Wii U in addition to PC platforms). Meaning Wii U eShop is getting a substantial (IE significant) number of indie titles that are NOT coming to any Playstation or Xbox platforms. That alone is worth buying a Wii U over, in combination with Nintendo's own retail titles.

Yeah, the current third party situation on Wii U is pretty dismal, and it may or may not get better with improved system sales. Hell, companies like Ubisoft and Activision and EA themselves all stated quite plainly that their support of the console would pick back up when the console got a "large enough install base". So we'll either see if they're liars, or if they really do have business sense. It would certainly help if third parties would quit dumping half-baked or rushed content/ports onto Wii U. Even Sega, who has turned into a great partner for Nintendo, have dumped not one but too mediocre Sonic titles in the last two years onto Wii U. Games that COULD have been much better if they had only taken the time to polish them longer. But then again, I guess that's kind of Sega's MO these days anyway.

Regardless, does Wii U deserve to be "third/last"? In sales? Sure, I guess, whatever. But to me, and this isn't just bias talking, I think right now, when you combine the library of retail titles already out, including many of the really great Nintendo-made ones (two Mario games, Mario Kart, Smash, WW remake, Pikmin, Wii Sports, DKC, etc.), along with the great eShop digital content, and the fact that Wii U is the ONLY current gen console to offer totally FREE online play and also has 100% Wii backwards compatibility, and then look at the slate of great looking titles (retail and eShop) coming in 2015? I think Wii U makes a very strong case for itself as the "most bang for your buck" option of the three. And there is no way that Nintendo doesn't drop the price again in 2015 to spur sales and stay competitive. Meaning next year it'll offer all that at an even more affordable price.
