Go get WiiU now. While NX shows promise, it's not immune to having a weak launch window or having a price too high to be worth it at first.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Get a PS4 that console will be supported for at least 8 more years, you can't say that about the wii U or the NX


NX will be a better console than the PS4, but that can already be said just for the WiiU anyway

Nintendo really hasn't made a console that made "sense" hardware wise since the SNES. Sure, you could argue that they went cheap and put a processor in it that was too slow, which allowed the Genesis to win in the US, but it was still on par or better power wise. The N64 was when things started to get funky and it only got more funky each time after that.

 

I wouldn't hold my breath. This is what Nintendo does now. All I hope for is a standard controller. lol


You're asking them way too much.


lol.. please don't cruch my hopes like that.

Genesis didn't win in the US and the SNES was overall more powerful, it was only weaker in one single aspect.

Genesis did win the us, and we've been through this before. It's offically sourced and you can find, read, and see that source via the wikipedia article by clicking on the source. Multiple, official, sales data from that era show this clearly. I have posted a direct link on this website many times, and I'm done. You can find it and read it yourself. If you still want to argue against factual sales, I am not going to engage because I have better things to do. lol

The SNES had a much weaker processor which caused sports titles and action games to lag, and slow down (both of which were the most popular in the US). This is part of the reason sports titles sold so much better on Genesis and why Genesis was the go to for those games back then.

For the nx. It'll definitely have BC.

I've seen those sources on wiki and they prove jack shit. Have you? The sources don't say what you think they say.
