One more post before I leave this whole thingy alone:

The Wii U.

The Wii U might not get any games from EA Sports, this year. Lets say we were doing a comparison between Xbox 360 and Wii U. In 12 months, the Wii U got games like NSMBU, Game and Wario, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, etc. That is a TON of exclusives compared to the Xbox which only has Gears of War Judgement and Fable Anniversary.

Let us say that some guy makes a comparison of exclusives. By HIS rules, only games from the Wii U's launch date until now are allowed to count. A game Like Madden wouldn't count for the Xbox 360 because it's a multi-plat. Just comparing exclusives, the Xbox only has like two games "that count" while the Wii U would have like a dozen! Again, it would be a situation where the Wii U has more exclusives so the Wii U wins, right? No. The Wii U would be missing so many key multi-platform titles that the Xbox 360 would be the obvious better choice!

Some people in this thread would argue "Well, everybody I know has a PS3 already" or "Most of those games are on PC so he should already be able to play those games". NO! NO! NO! *slaps you* You can't just say what somebody SHOULD have! The only thing that we know for sure is that one console is being compared to another. The comparison is between Wii U vs. Xbox 360 over which console has the games you want to play. The PS3 and PC are not factors. It's option A vs option B.

And that's how I think a PS3 vs. 360 comparison should be done. One device in comparison to One device. And that's it. I'm out!

Educated consumers know that the Wii U is weak when it comes to third party. People use that argument for Sony and Microsoft because their consoles are so similar- they share 80 percent of the same games- the only thing differentiating them is the games they don't share. I think most people know that you can't use that argument for the Wii U because it doesn't have  games period. If it had the multiplats the Ps3 and 360 were getting- then an argument could be made.
