I hope the other two are more powerful than the WiiU. I don't need a console that is barely more powerful than the currents. Third parties are very strong this gen and they sell more games than ever. Sony makes more first party games than MS yes but most of the appeal come from third party games. Of course some key 1st party games makes people want more one than the other (Halo/Uncharted) but overall COD, Mass Effect, Skyrim, GTA etc are the star of gaming these days. If your console can't properly play those... maybe all you care about are 1st party games hence why I think they should release all of their games on every devices possible.


Actually its already known I have five games on preorder. Just can't buy one of them until january :(

I have mario, tekken (my favourite fighting game), mass effect, assassin's creed and ninja gaiden on hold. Of the rest of the games announced I intend to get need for speed, aliens, monster hunter, pikmin and bayonetta. Plenty of third party games. As for the comment about your games running well, here is a rundown.

call of duty = no idea about it running badly on wii u yet. But it is casuing ps3 hard drives to corrupt, crash constantly, codes not working etc.

mass effect = that is a port and the developers haven't had all the time they need to get used to the hardware. But for what they have they have done a very good job with it. It looks just as good (if not better) than the 360 and ps3 versions.

skyrim = lol bethesda games are buggy garbage on any system. And again, especially ps3.

grand theft auto = no idea how that runs on anything yet. But rockstar have a bad history with games on, you guessed it, ps3.

Well to be honest, if you're buying a WiiU to play current gen games then more power to you, I would expect it to run games as much if not better than current hardware. Next gen though is a different story. We'll see how they fare agains't newer engines. If next gen hardware are comparable to WiiU and can't really run UE4 level games then it should be ok... but if they're way more capable and run engines that needs to be vastly downscaled to fit WiiU spec then you be the judge afterwards. Sony gets so much flack for having a game with a bit less resolution/blurryness/washed/etc than Xbox (like it's sooo much different it prevents one from playing), how will WiiU fare if it's specs and controls can't compare?
