I think what people need to remember is that there is room for all kinds of tastes in gaming. People tend to forget that and rush to brand things as the "best" when it's all very subjective.
I have very little interest in most Mario games, for example, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest that other people love them. The same with the gamepad controller, very little of what I've seen thus far really grabs me. A few things I like in theory but I haven't seen it used in practice in a way that I feel enhances the gameplay enough to, say, counter-balance the weaker CPU Nintendo went with in order to pay for that touchscreen. And no, I don't care that much about graphics but I do care about the other improvements that higher level components bring to a system. That's just me, though, and my taste in gaming.
However, that in no way means that I don't think the Wii U is perfect for a lot of other people. Nintendo developers can create some awesome games well within the Wii U's limits I have no doubt. I'd even like to have one for some games but it just doesn't offer enough value for me to buy one at this time.
The Wii U is going to be fine even if it doesn't go viral with the casual crowd. It will have it's niche no matter what, which will be cemented by its jump on the competition in terms of release date. While it's true that many Nintendo fanboys bug me with their silly platformer elitism and hyper-defensiveness, I have absolutely nothing against Nintendo.
What I'm hoping for with Sony and the PS4 is that they go the opposite route that Nintendo has taken. What I want from Sony is a traditional gaming machine with an emphasis on innovation through software. I want them to not waste money on tricking out the system with extras at launch but to instead focus on providing the most bang per buck, which would allow the actual games to take center stage.
In most cases, comparing systems isn't really necessary. As was demonstrated by the Wii, the PS3, and the 360, there is more than enough room in gaming for consoles that have a different focus. |
You do know that the wii-u game pad cost about 56 dollars to make?
you do realize that Sony is going to try something because of Xbox is having there own device Come with the system which is suppose change the way we game.
if Sony tries to be a generic powerful system Xbox and wii-u will kill it.

Sources, please. Kinect was supposed to change the way people game and it did not. You might think people will abandon traditional gaming but I do not. Judging by this generation, the evidence is on my side. Unless you're saying Fable: The Journey killed Halo 4?

Look up ign kinect 2 leak documents.
Kinect helped Xbox get more casuals and they control the hardcore market has there third party games sell the best. That was Sony only strength with ps1/2. Xbox proves that they have the hardcore and Sony is just that other console. With the casuals they will become unstoppable. Sony is not popular with kids unlike Nintendo and isn't kng of adults like Xbox so Sony will fail under them both. He'll look at wii sales and Xbox sales they tell us how interested Sony fans are of there games/product. I wouldn't be surprised if it commonly used as a blueray player.
