I wish i knew what some of this means haha! i wont get into any next gen debates, i really dont care for those that much. I honestly enjoy the system and can't wait for more games.


Good for you man, if you are having fun, that is all that matters. I am sure WiiU will find his public, it has a certain appeal, of course.

However, people like me, who owned a PS3 and a XBOX360 for years, and have played the shit out of those sexy beasts, will not be happy about the WIIU and what it brings to the table.

I can´t wait to have a new console, but after 6 years, it better be much more awesome than the HD TWINS, it has to be. At least for me to buy.

 

If you only had a Wii, then to buy a WiiU is a no brainer, of course you going to buy it. But if you had a taste of the HD twins, man, it is to late to go back.

I understand if kids feels like they have to own only one console and be loyal, it is a money thing, I was a kid once, had only one console each gen, and just a few games.

Now I am 31, I work hard to mantaing my house and, this hobby called video gaming.

And it is not an expensive one, if you have a job. I know guys that collect cars and go out with luxury prostitutes, now, that is expensive.

And of course, the most expensive hobby of all: getting married, if you do that, you might as well be a kid again, you will barelly have money and time for ONE console...

Well, that got a little off topic.

Nintendo fans, enjoy your WiiU, it has HD, good for you, have fun. But understand why we are NOT excited, we of course would love to buy a Nintendo console again, but it has to be worthy...


So you're saying it's not possible to a) enjoy the Wii and an HD console at the same time? or b) play a game with more traditional controls in HD and then go back and play a Wii game? Superchunk once showed a graph of the (theortical) number of people who owned more than one console, and the most common combination was Wii + Xbox/360. I wish I would have saved it to whip it out now.

 

And I know I'm just one man, but I go back and forth between HD games using twin sticks and Wii games all the time. If a game is fun, graphics or control options don't mean a thang.
