..and if publishers only create direct port of ps360 games for wii U without any meaningful support of the wii U gamepad then he would be right.  are you planning to buy a wii U just for a straight ports of AC3, batman AC, CoD Blops, bioshock infinite, GTA5, mass effect 3, ect..?  Or, are you planning to buy a wii U for new, unique gaming experiences that cannot be done on a ps360?  if your answer is the former then you are buying an expensive 360 seven years late..

in regards to the OP i believe the technical term is gaffe.  out of context it sounds horrible.  so don't use it out of context just to get yourself worked up.

He may be right, but to be fair I've never owned a PS3 or a 360 and was planning on buying a couple of those games you mentioned, and this can be true to Nintendo's audience who only had Wii. So yes PS360 may have had those games, but it's new to us. The 7 years things is a bit exaggerated because games like AC, Batman and Mass Effect 3 have not been out for even half that long.

Now if these publishers create a direct port without support for gamepad then I hate to admit it, but he's right. But its not what he said, it was the way he said it that made me kind of look at it like , WhAT? But I think we can all agree that some of these ports use the gamepad in smart, and meaningful ways right? Batman for example.

One more food for thought and this just came up to me as I am typing, it may not be an expensive 360 late because of the 1st/2nd party  (Nintendo) games, a very unique thing 360 never had so I guess that right there makes it all worth it!!!

so i think we're in agreement now.  although, i don't think batman is doing enough imo.  albeit exclusive, i'd say rayman ledgends is a better example.
