Fair enough, we do not know which is lighter relative to volume. Since the WiiU barely has anything to hold, I figured it was lighter relative to volume but I have no numbers to back that up. If going by hearsay, then you're right I can't argue on that ground since Vita had that as well. Conceded. Nonetheless, if neither you nor I know, how would the author of that article know? It's reasonable to assume he held it, but why would he consider it bulky when everyone else said it was light relative to the size it exhibited. Something is wrong. That's the central point anyways, so on this aspect (the author's opinion) I stand my ground. Either he is biased, or he spoke out of his hat (like you and I do, reasonably, we have nothing else. He on the other hand is a journalist). Either way, I dislike it ;)
In terms of heavy, I conceded that above, I really don't know and the Vita articles discredit my argument, so that's yours. As for ergonomics, though I have not handled either, from videos I've watched, I can tell you the Wii U controller is much more confortable by the looks of it. But even if we did handle it, you would never concede because comfort is a matter of preference. Since you're that kind of poster (you don't use common sense on these kind of things), I won't argue it with you. With someone who can see the difference between this and this, I'll continue the debate: Vita
Wii U
As a journalist, he should have an informed opinion, not just an opinion. If everyone was to just blabber their opinion and put on the "Journalist" tag, then what a shitty industry this would be to follow. Thank heavens for instructive journalism based on facts rather than tastes. Given everything brought up this far, his opinion sucks and is obviously full of bias. I rest my case. As I've said many times before, there is opinion, and then there is Opinion. Someone with a lousy opinion should be quiet. In a context where we all look for facts and information, an unfounded opinion is not enough. Stop repeating that "it's his/her opinion" nonsense if you want to be taken seriously. Last point about this. He is entitled to his opinion, but as a journalist or poster, all opinions need to have a rationale. It's not enough to just say "It's my/his opinion". That is baby talk. |
" It's reasonable to assume he held it, but why would he consider it bulky when everyone else said it was light relative to the size it exhibited "
something can be both light and bulky, just like something can be small and also heavy...
the word "bulky" is related to the size of the object in question ( as far as i know ) while "light" refers to the weight and it is for this very reason that your point about other journalists saying its light imo isn't even relevant to his comment
edit : definition for bulky
"having great volume in proportion to weight"

"Either he is biased, or he spoke out of his hat"
or maybe he's not a drone and can believe something is bulky even when a few other people said otherwise ( which so far you have shown no one did imo )
"Since you're that kind of poster (you don't use common sense on these kind of things)"
lol because i don't agree with you so i don't use common sense and i'm that kind
"Given everything brought up this far, his opinion sucks and is obviously full of bias"
yeah because he said something unfavourable of the wii u... far be it from anyone to do sych a thing or gaming journalism will crash and burn
"In a context where we all look for facts and information, an unfounded opinion is not enough. Stop repeating that "it's his/her opinion" nonsense if you want to be taken seriously."
"He is entitled to his opinion, but as a journalist or poster, all opinions need to have a rationale"
so holding and experiencing a product doesn't count? ( assuming he did which is most likely )... how is his comment unfounded?
