Problems the WiiU faces against PS4/NeXbox

[Pokeslob]

I feel this 100%
I honestly consider Wii U to be 7th gen... unless of course NextBox is terribly unimpressive, in which case we'll just say ps4 is 9th gen ;D
all kidding aside, I've seen dev specs for the 720, so that statement is invalid.
but honestly, nintendo is just not keeping up and it doesn't seem like they care.
people say it's because game quality rules over technical superiority, while valid, nintendo is just shitting out games right now, and they really aren't bringing anything new to the table (still fun, just unexciting and shallow).
No, Nintendo is just niche, and they know they have an army of blind fans and casual gamers that will back them up with any need for REAL innovation.

now I know I'm going to eat my words for saying "innovation" because clearly they revolutionized and standardized motion gaming, and yes that was "innovative," but motion gaming will not stick with the hardcore crowd, and the gaming fad as a whole will not stick with the casual crowd. honestly, (and this goes for all systems) motion gaming, touch screens, 3D, etc. are all super gimmicky and are the least important parts of making a good game! even the most amazing nintendo games we've played in recent history (Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Super Mario 3D Land, Skyward Sword) they weren't great because you could touch them, they were 3D, you could flail your arms, they were fun because they had good stories, mechanics, and what have you. These game would have been JUST AS GOOD without the gimmicks!
