Monopoly and chess are a games too, but playing only those doesn't make you a gamer. In fact both of those are significantly harder to beat/master than any shooter.

1) It only runs netflix. 2) No mention of browser. 3) ZombiU is more like a mod and not worth $10. 4) screen is unresponsive due. 5) no hdd support. 6) sd card slot does nothing. ... 7) etc etc.

This was the worst review of anything ever. They clearly just wanted to mock and laugh at Nintendo/WiiU. I doubt they spent more than a few mins even using the system and clearly have no clue about any part of it. To review something you have to actually use it for a signifant amount of time and really get to know its ins and outs. Clearly these pair of cow dung only opened the box, put it together, updated, and played like 10 mins of a couple games.

Apples and oranges. There isn't only one shooter out there, like there is only one monopoly and chess.

1) what else does it run at the moment?

2) Why should they mention the browser? Every other console has a browser, it should be clear that wii u has one.

3) Opinion, not a fact.

4) That is a fact, when you compare it to a capasitive screen.

5) This one was wrong, those usb:s do support hdd:s. You just have to buy a new one.

6) He said that he did not know what the sd card does, not that it does not do anything

7) You did show one thing which was not a fact, no grounds for "etc etc"

 

You don't know that and frankly, you sound like you are angry.

1) netflix, huluplus, youtube, amazon prime

2) browser on wiiu destroys anything on another console in features, usability, and speed. Its actually very compariable with a really good smartphone/tablet or pc. It should be mentioned as it almost gives you a true pc browser experience on TV plus the amazing part of the gamepad where you can say start watching some video on TV and then continue browsing on gamepad or simply only use the gamepad (like a tablet) while watching something on TV like football or anythign else.

3) no it was not just an opinion. it was more of a defamation of character. Clearly they didn't play the game or only the opening scene/tutorial. Hell all the screens/vids on it were just the very beginning.

4) It is not fact and you obviously have not used it. Its just as responsive as any phone or tablet. I have had ZERO sensitivty issues with any game use. I do use stylus when on netflix or browser... more for preciseness than anything else, but scrolling is better with the stylus as well in those applications. I have yet to have to press really hard on the screen for any action to be rendered. That is simply not the case as they present it as fact.

The two technologies are different with different strengths and weaknesses. One is great for fingers and multitouch, the other is great for stylus and preciseness. The visual clarity is absolutly brilliant and in gaming applications there is no loss in sensitivity or finger use. For drawing and browser, grab the pen.

5) It comes with storage and if you want more or need more you can buy what you want. Same thing in current consoles and very likely the rest of nextgen. I only ever used about 20GB on my PS3's 250GB HDD. I used less than 1GB on my Wii. Facts are Nintendo's solution is best and most economical for everyone. You get what you actually need. If I need more than the 32GB built into the machine, no big deal. $30 and I have 500GB that I'll likely never fully need. I'd rather not have the proprietary and overpriced crap forced on me.

6) clearly showing he shouldn't be reviewing the device as in a review that comes accross as it does nothing as he couldn't find a purpose for it.

7) You are ignoring everything and simply being blinded by your own negative approach to WiiU. This "review" clearly had an agenda and that agenda was not to review a product. It was to destroy a product with lies and defamation of all product capability.

1) My friend does not have hulu or amazon, just netflix and youtube. You call youtube streaming? :D

2) Browser is a browser, no matter how you slice it.

3) Still opinion.

4) From what I have tried, wii u pad is not as responsive as my tablet. I trust in what I see, not what you say.

5) That is an opinion, not a fact. I prefer built in hdd. I used 200gb+ on my 360 hdd.

6) That was not your original point, I think I see the goal posts quite far.

7) No, I see it objectively. You see it as someone would have insulted your mother.
