WiiU is a generation ahead the Wii.

So so sad that to Nintendo fans the lower powered console is almost advertised as a good thing. Stop buying the corporate speak. The WiiU console (just the box, not the controller or games) is literally inferior in every single way to the Xbox One and PS4. There can be no argument about that at all.

The Nintendo fans may say that the games produced by Nintendo and the controller are experiences that cannot be matched. That is a perfectly valid opinion, and many of the software sales and fan and professional reviews over the years back it up.

HOWEVER, there was nothing preventing Nintendo from selling modern hardware AND releasing their style of games. It is not either or. Nintendo made the conscious decision to sell an under powered console to save money on hardware and development costs. That is not a feature, that is not Nintendo marching to the beat of their own drummer, or Nintendo focusing on games rather than frills.

I love Nintendo to death and miss the mini Nintendo (Rare), but I am tired of the either/or arguments. And it is even worse to hear Nintendo fans passing them on.

- N64, we could have great games, or we could have great music and voice acting as with PS
- GCN - great games or DVD playback and internet as with PS2
- Wii - great games and motion control or modern graphics as with 360 or PS3
- Wii U - great games and touch controls or modern graphics as with One or PS4

I am a consumer and I want it all.
