I own a PS4 and Wii U. I haven't played a single game on either despite having them both for about 2 months.


Then maybe you should sell them?


Why would he sell the consoles, theres plenty of games in the future for both consoles that he might like.


I own a lot of games for each. Just don't have time at the moment.

Ah, I read your comment as you had no interest in the games on either system (and in that case I think its better to sell them while they still are worth something)

That is the norm for Nintendo, but with Wii U I feel (I know I cant prove this) that prob a high ratio of owners are adults who grew up on Nintendo, the die hards so to speak.

I'd agree with that. The Wii U definitely seems to be a console that adult Nintendo fans like.

How do you know adult Nintendo fans like Wii U?

Damn this sites gone to shit.

How can people vote Wiiu with a straight face is beyond me.

I second this. COD has the kids these days.

Of all of my consoles, the wiiu gets used barely ever. So much so that its hdmi port on the tv got taken off of it by a dvd player.

Me ? Because after N64 and GameCube, I'm still waiting for a real Next Gen Console, with some power inside. Or, shall I get a next Gen Console barely more powerful than previous gen ? No thanks ! As much as I like Nintendo, they have to wake up !

OP never asked for an objective vote.

Well im one of those older adults who loves my Wii U

2 points:

1 Lack of 3rd party support is killing the wii U. Espeically NO Assassins Creed,Fifa and COD is turning people off...

2 The libary is great just far too few Nintendo Games .. With only Indie support is 300€ too high.

What i hate though are they comments that the Wii U is crap without people even trying it!
Im not a Bayo fan normally but loving Bayo 2 . plays really well and is great fun!
Hyrule Warriors good as well as Toad.
But 99,9% Gamers dont know how excellent ME 3 and deus Ex is auf die Wii U. Im never gonna buy a PS4 or Xbone 1 (tried the PS4 at the gamescom omg who awful FC 4 was far better on a PC!)

Rayman legends best version too and the underrated Zombii U. Yes enough adult games on the Wii U.

i think partly its a boycott of 3rd parties too. Rockstar and Bethseda didnt even do anything on the Wii.

Imagine a Ninty Console with full 3rd Party support.. Sony and Microsoft would fear that.. But on the next gen it wont happen either. Not even Valiant Hearts appeared on the wii U (even though Child of light sold excellently on the Wii U)


3rd party can make a profit just look at Zombii U 77000 Retail copie plus download (i think a million) and Ubi SOft makes excuses not to do a follow up...

Wii U owners are sick of poor and shoody ports which isnt helping either.....

I can't buy a WiiU because I found out that it has a 32GB hard drive and concluded that the PS+ Nintendo equivalent games would not fit on it.

I think some people are ashamed to play kiddy looking games. Like it effects their manlihood or something. They only want to play realistic looking games or games with blood and guns. If you ask me real men play Nintendo :P
