Hello everyone, first post here. I felt the need to write here because of all the nonsense some posts have. Here are my full opinions on wii u situation.

If you want to be taken seriously, you should not start your first post with a second sentence, and then do just that for the rest of the post.

Look, it is very simple. performance comes with a price, and the price for computers is power input. You want twice the performance, it costs you twice the power. That's just the way it is. The WiiU uses rouhly 35Watts, entire system. Both NextBox and PS4 are probably around 150W (or even more), with more modern components. So any "WiU is similar to NextConsoles" is wishful thinking. The difference WILL be noticable with the very first NextGen console games. I'd go as far as predict a horrible death to the WiiU console beginning next year. Nintendo had the advantage of the Wii inpit device against PS360, they have nothing (except lowering price way down) now against NextGen consoles.

amazing, because the ps3 fat uses like 160 watts, so by your logic wii u has less than half the specs of a ps3.there's something called efficiency, wii u does much more than ps360 with less power usage because it's efficient modern tech enables it. do yourself a favor and don't waste others time with this s**t.

haters try everything to put wii u down.conveniently this watt thing started when wii u watt usage was revealed, we even made a joke in brazil foruns over here, saying things like "wii u will have nintendo games in hd and 70 watts" or "my electric shower consumes 300 watts, so it should play the agnil's philosofy demo.

i wonder what the next excuse will be. the console size? the console heat?

The issues the Wii U is having is a tech issue and nothing more. Wattage has absolutely nothing to do with it. Third party devs need powerful hardware that is a jump from last gen and the Wii U is on par with last gen. They cannot realize their goals for next gen with the Wii U's tech, plain and simple. People can defend Nintendo all they want but we're talking tech here not the fact that this is a new Nintendo console. Nintendo will get its own games and they will mostly be exclusive. A lot of people will most likely enjoy them regardless of the ignorance. I will have a Wii U as well but I want a next gen console first before I get a Nintendo console for its exclusives.
