Also even on multiplats I remember seeing threads about which system runs the game better.

OP is being rather narrow in just looking at PS4 vs Xb one as the context for this fan war. It all started back with Xb OG vs PS2. It intensified with 360 vs PS3 and it is now entrenched.

well you might not have played much of windwaker, or you may have forgotten, but the screen offered by the gamepad improves the game tremendously. i agree that they should use the gamepad a lot more than they do. i feel like nintendo is letting me down in that regard because i love the gamepad.

Where'd you get this idea from? If anything it's the other way around.

when did they stop supporting the wii u? youre making a ton of assumptions. the wii u will get its standard 5 year life cycle, i wouldnt worry about it so much. the x1 and ps4 are going to be replaced as well.

I beat wind waker, was the first game I beat on it. Even got the wind waker bundle with the game pad with elvish embroidled in gold around it. It looks great and I love it but I never used it in windwaker. The only time I remember using it most was in Zombie U which I loved. I thought what they did with it was great and was dissapointed every game on there didn't have that same level of support for the pad. Use it now mostly for Netflix which is great and the web broswer is awesome. Honestly tho I get mad every time I hear a new game like fire emblem coming to 3ds when they should be comming to Wii U.

zombiU is great, and its sad to see more developers havent tried to make more games like that. with windwaker, i found that the sailing parts and changing items during battle i found were a lot more fun with the gamepad fucntionality. and i also cant say enough good things about internet browsing with the wii u. the gamepad is a god send for that function. my wife and i browse the internet and watch youtube with it all the time.

by the way i requested this thread to be locked. so this will likely be the last post in it.

I'm not making any assumptions. The evidence is there. They are constantly releasing games for the 3ds while the wii U isn't really getting any. If they are lucky they will get 4 years. Its going the same way the first Xbox went. Xbox ended their support early and only lasted 4 years. The same is happaning with the Wii U.

Because Ouya wasn't invited to the party.

The basis of your argument is that because the PS4 and X1 are 'the same', while the WiiU is different, there are only two sides (PS4+X1 and WiiU). If the PS4 and X1 both had more exclusive games than the WiiU ('proper' exclusives that are only on a single platform), then the differences between the PS4 and X1 would actually be more significant than to the WiiU, which would matter more to a gamer than them being more similar overall.

Let's say there are 100 PS4 only games, 100 X1 only games, and 50 WiiU only games (and, for the sake of simplicity, every one of them is objectively identical in quality). If you buy a PS4 or X1, you lose out on 150 exclusives. If you buy a WiiU you lose out on 200. If you buy a WiiU + PS4 or X1, you lose out on 100. If you buy an X1 + PS4 you only lose out on 50. Thus, even if you already owned a PS4 or X1, you'd still benefit more from buying the other than a WiiU. That quite clearly sets the dynamic as PS4 vs X1 vs WiiU, not PS4/X1 vs WiiU.

Technically there would still be a larger overall gap between the PS4 or X1 vs the WiiU than PS4 vs X1, but that would only really be relevant if someone was making an argument like "the WiiU is different because it's missing all this stuff".

That all said, I do agree with you that anyone who owns [y] and says they hate everything about [x] while still buying multiplats is being silly. I very rarely see anyone do that though. Usually people just say they prefer one or the other, and everyone automatically knows they're referring to the unique parts of each (since it being about what they share would make no sense). To that extent the console warz between them makes just as much sense as it does with the WiiU (even now).
