Wii won last gen if you like it or not. PS3 is my prefered system of last gen and PS4 is this gen but Wii beat both PS3 and 360 pretty easily.

You can only win if you are having a competition.
As I wrote, Nintendo is irrelevant to Big 2 competition. Same with smartphone gaming.
When Nintendo is so problematic in basic categorization of which "gen" it belongs to, that is strong indication.
On topic,
I don't think there is any demographic who stays up late at night pondering to dedicate themself to Nintendo or to PC gaming.

Nintendo isn't ireelevant to them. That's why Sony copied Wii with Move and MS wanted that Motion money with Kinect. Sony was scared Wii U might succeed so they included a touchpad like Sixaxis last minute motion.  Nintendo very much matters to them. Esp Sony. if not PSP nor PSvIta would exist. Nor would Kinect or Move. Comparing Nintendo so mobile games is nonsensical. They sold the most consoles. All that matters. They won. There is entire forums of people who only play Nintendo systems. I know some of these people. I don't dedicate myself only to Sony or Nintendo or MS. I play everything however I known plenty who are only PC or only Nintendo gamers. Just like there is plenty who only play Sony systems or MS systems.

Wait, so does this ultimately come down to which console would be the best choice for people...?

Well, it depends on the person I suppose and what types of games they wanna play. Certain consoles will satisfy certain people.

That is why I wait for more games to come out first, rather than getting it day 1

..but it's true that you can't go wrong with PC as it always will be getting more games

PC by far has the biggest gaming library to choose from. Im not just talking about Backwards Compatible. PCs also have access to game genres unavailable to consoles like RTS and Sims ete.
Consoles to me is more like a flavour of the month type if thing. Occasionally they will release 1 good game every so often however PC you are covered with so many other choices plus its own Exclusives. Top it off you dont need to pay online service bills to play Multiplayer etc.
With the inclusion of PSNow and Live. If you got the money its a no brainer.

First of all the Vita already had a touchpad so that's not exclusively a Wii U feature. Besides Sony thought they could make money with motion gaming and handheld gaming, which is why they did it. Both didn't turn out very well bit sometimes you fail as a business and this where major fuck ups for Sony. That doesn't mean they are scared, why would they. Sony is a bigger danger to itself than the competition the PS3 surely proved that.

Can't recommenced consoles anymore. PC is far more powerful, and cheaper in the long run. Especially since this generational thing is over.

And the OP's claims of volatility seem... weak. Sony's "Disaster" PS3 gen still won the gen over-all.

PS3 didn't won. History rewriting?

Vita had a touch anything because DS. Plus My buddy was working for R* then and they had a dev kit. That dev kit had a small screen in the controller. That was a direct response to Wii U but cut costs and made it a touchpad.



PC games have moaa varierity, ton of free stuff and butter graphics/framerats/mods. Consoles have just some exclusives like Uncharted, lust of us aaaand ...who knows who cares!?!?!? ou with psnow u can play them soon on your low ass pc anyway, so f consoles!



Nintendo and PC is a nice combo. If lots of JRPGs starts coming to the PC then it will be better.
