Nintendo systems have never been my main systems. I was a SEGA fanboy while they were around, but even then i bought the playstation aswell. With SEGA gone, Nintendo became my second choice, but one i dearly enjoy.

Nintendo systems make sense for their exclusives, thats always been the appeal. Even in the mega drive days the SNES wasnt famous for their multiplatform 3rd party stuff, but the exclusives.

 

The Wii U has a definitve bonus, wich is beeing backwards compatible. That is great for someone like me that skiped the Wii because of motion controls.


Nintendo had a iron grip on third parties whether they liked it or not during the NES/SNES days forcing Sega to resort to using celebrities for their games and more. Also Sega was considered the "cool console" because it had the more mature titles and arcade style hits which were so big in the 90's but Nintendo still had the top notch third party and the great first party with the numerous faces everyone knows. Third parties were definitely looking for a way out from Nintendo and Sony gave it to them what Sega failed to accomplish in increasing marketshare.
