I'm going to go heat up some popcorn now cause this thread is getting pretty funny.

Anyways, after 2 days with the Wii U mainly just messing with the features, I have figured out a few things about their design, and I'm a firm believer in what I'm looking at for the future, which is that everything will be based on the software. The functionality of the Wii U is pretty much a cross over between the PC and a Tablet while being a dedicated gaming machine thanks to the extra RAM. They still have a few things to work out but this is the most impressive console I've seen so far when talking about what you can do while playing a game.

You can goto Miiverse and ask for help and chat up or post SS(It's like a Nintendo Twitter), run a fully capable html5 web browser to check on game strategies or just browse the web a little on the fly, look at the eShop which is surprisingly well designed, and once Nintendo TVii is out, you will be able to watch movies and TV shows, all while having your game just idling in the background.

I think MS and Sony will be heading down this route as well, basically making consoles more PC like while not as complicated(MS with Win8 and Sony with uh, I have no idea, XMB is prolly not a good answer for Orbis), I think Nintendo is doing a great job so far with things to fix and features to introduce. The 1GB OS RAM is really starting to make sense at least.


Of course they will, do you think Sony could do something innovative without taking ideas from Nintendo.  I give Microsoft props though as Kinect and 360 was wayyyyy more innovative than what Sony has done for the last 10 years!!!---just saying it how I see it, is all.

HAHAHAHA


Kinect is more innovative than Eyetoy? LOL Eyetoy is the product that made motion gaming popular. You can come at me with novelty products from the 90s or whatever but they were just that, novelty, they never got big and were huge fails. Eyetoy made casual gaming popular. Since Eyetoy started all this motion gaming hype back in the early 00s, it deserves ALL the credits.

Eyetoy is the source, 7 years before you even had Kinect sports I was having fun with Eyetoy Play and doing fitness with Eyetoy KINETIC

 

Really Turks? According to Wikipedia: As of November 6, 2008, the EyeToy has sold 10.5 million units worldwide.

Is THAT really making motion controls popular?? No. No it is not. It's about as popular as Move. And we all know how popular THAT is...


10 million units is mainstream. Yes that means it was popular. Compare that with the novelty products from the 90s. How much did they sell? They didnot work and didnot sell. Eyetoy was popular enough to improve on the formula. Eyetoy was the hype in Europe back in 2003, 2004.


I can resolve this debate by stating the fact that they both suck anyways so who gives a shit?
