This just beyond silly and to be perfectly honestly a bit childish. I sure hope people didn't say omg nintendo how original..copying sega (or apple) again or something when the 'rumors' of the wiiu pad was going around. I feel that your frustrations are misplaced...want to blame someone/something for the negativity around wiiu? Blame Nintendo, aspects such as binding the account to the console it's made, stupid parental control related limitations, drought of games post launch and weak hardware which is most definitely better than ps360 but those are 7 year old consoles. Those were/are the real problems |
First paragraph: Yes, the Wii U will very likely be underpowered considering PS720, however, POWER!!!, doesn’t make good games – and good games trump a consoles power. In this generation there have been many games that look dam good but are an utter crock of shit. So getting upset because a console is underpowered is BS, considering what is really important is whether or not the games are any good – any Nintendo has MORE good games than Sony or MS combined. Yes POWER in a console is important, but that is just one of many considerations, the main one being good games.
As for the Dreamcast, no Nintendo fan I know ever looked at the Dreamcast and said, ‘ha ha what a crap idea’. But you find gamers often saying the same thing about Nintendo, whenever they try to ‘innovate’. That’s the problem I have with many gamers, because it seems as whenever Nintendo does it, it’s crap, but if anyone else does it, it’s cool.
Second paragraph: Yes Nintendo should be blamed for a lot of the hate it gets, however, a lot of that hate is also misplaced I think. For example, if it wasn’t for Nintendo and having a cheaper console alternative in the market, Sony and MS would likely have already been selling us minimum $800 consoles and $400 handhelds. But people simply think let’s shit on Nintendo for making cheap consoles. Nintendo is not making a cheap or underpowered console, they are giving you a more economical alternative, to Sony and MS! Nintendo is Nintendo and a different company in the videogame industry. Sadly, you can hardly say the same for Sony, as they bring almost nothing to the table other than making what the other guys do better. Now it seems they are rumored to be making the touch screen controller better,...ha, ha, laughable, I wish they would!

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.
