What are Sony and Microsoft thinking? I seriously don't understand. The Wii U has backwards compatibility with games and controllers. But it is a piece of crap. Why? It is not truly next gen.

And now they are trying to tell me what a truly next gen console is.

I just saw  the same things of the actual generation (or worse) and lots of things unrelated with gaming.

Now I think the Wii U is awesome. Hell even the OUYA is starting to look good.

But seriously the best you can do is buy a gaming PC instead of the PS4 or the Xbox One.

 

Tell me I am wrong and why

Who is "they"?


Well honest question here. And you got me . I dont know exactly who are they. But maybe you have heard this complain about the Wii-U in different places. "It is not a truly next gen console". Like Nintendo deceived us all.

So I though, well maybe Sony and Microsoft are going to show us what is that. But they did, suposedly and I failing to see the improvement.

So let me recap a bit.

The Wii won the current generation with a less powerful machine. But it was a next gen machine compared to the ps2-gameCube-xbos era. In everysense. It brought something new. Even Sony and Microsoft were forced to catch up with Kinect and Move.

Now the WiiU is a more powerful machine in comparison with the Wii. Sure less powerful than the previous gen 360 and PS3. But again, Nintendo tried something different, and innovation. Maybe not radical. After all why take unnecesary risks when you are the top dog. 

And even being less powerful than the Ps3 and the 360, and even less powerful (obviously) than the X1 and the pS4, it does this little thing: It let you use your old controllers and your old games. What? You don't want to do that! Well, it is just in case you feel like it.

My second favorite console this gen was the 360. And the third the PS3. But still I think they are awesome. So great that I don't see why bother buying what they call the next gen versions of them. The truly next gen. I dont see where is my money going. Well again, maybe an OUYA and a nice gaming PC.
