Wii U seemed really bad after Smartglass was shown. The potential and scope of Smartglass quite frankly just killed Nintendo for me. |
Really, thats the best you can do? The Wii U tablet vs. Smartglass? It takes a special kind of blindness to create that in your head.
|
Cmon man did you watch M$ conference?
Smartglass interacts with phones and 360. game developers can use smartglass to incorporate Windows 8 Tablets, or Android tablets or Ipads as controllers or a 2nd screen. Possibility to have a full Skyrim map on Tablet while playing on your TV for example. Particularly loved the Halo 4 smartglass part. That was genius.
Then theres movies, music, internet etc stuff that Wii U cant even begin to do.
So yes, Smartglass has alot more potential than Wii U.
|
Right, and the Wii U tablet is a controller for Wii U games and the Wii U. So what excatly is your point? They are not competing technologies
|
My point is, apart from Ninty exclusives you could port any 3rd party Wii U game to 360. Using Smartglass.
So you can either buy a Wii U this christmas or use your existing tablet, and have a Wii U this cristmas without spending the cash. Just wont have Mario.
|
Again, it takes a special kind of blindness to create this in your head.
|
Or a special kind of blindness to realise Wii U is now an overpriced new tablet console.
Seriously I'll laugh this fall when Im using Smartglass.
|
Surprised you call it overpriced when we don't even know the price yet. Plus most tablets are $500+ so It wll need to cost more than that for it to be an overpriced tablet.
|
The real point though is many already have Ipads or Android tablets. And many will ave Windows 8. People will use them anyway.
But you can also use them with 360 to use wit games that devs do it for or movies or music etc. Wii U as to be bought to get what is already out. You cant save money and use a tablet with the Wii now. Wii U seems like a bit of a stretch if its 300GBP for example, when Smartglass does more.
|
Maybe, but I think a lot of the stuff that is being developed for Wii U will be ported to the 360 using the Smart Glass tech. But the other problem is developers will need to program the integration to work on all of those other platforms (iOS, Android, Windows8) and for each hardware. Just look at the Android platform. How when a game is first released it will not work on about 1/2 of the phones out there and the developer needs to keep doing updates to add each devise that it won't work on, since each manufaturer likes to tweek for the Android platform to be a little different on their device.
Unless MS sets it up so the smartglass can just stream content from the 360 to the phones/tablets. I'd like to hear SuperChunks thoughts....

Yes its done via stream. There is a smartglass app coming. for phones to.
