Non Nintendo fans, what do you think of the WiiU now?

I wonder how many in here waited in line back in the time to get the N64, the "true next gen system", instead of buying a PSone or Saturn, which were kind of half a gen behind.

The Playstation was the console Nintendo wanted. Sony created it with the parts they created for Nintendo after Nintendo cut their contract. Third parties putting their faith in Sony's CD based console is the reason for the shift change. powerful multimedia consoles were where the future was headed. Keeping up could've saved Sega the trouble of having to deal with early piracy (outside of the lack of third party).

Blah blah blah......

Irrelevant to what I said and the fact that N64 was superior to the PSone up to the same level that PS4 will be to Wii U, roughly.

And I asked, how many people waited to get that "True next gen" machine ;)

My point is: people don't know what they are saying.

 

LOL, even better, I wonder how many got the "true next gen" pieces of crap named Jaguar, 3DO and Sega Nomad

Squaresoft did not feel the same way you did about your supposed "next gen" theory. They felt Nintendo was behind. Sony came out first with the 32 bit console, but leveled the playingfield (and then some) by putting the game on a disc. All Sony had to do was be a better console than the SNES being which was 16 bits and they doubled that. They were next gen. Next gen doesn't mean you have to have the best graphics, but push the system capabilities into a new era where a progressive experience is felt. If your theory is correct then explain why Sony slaughtered Nintendo in their  first two generations without advertising themselves as a "family console"(something that I doubt will ever happen again in the industry).
