Yeah sure. Anyway, my original comment was to captain_tom, he's implying that people will buy a console for it's graphics, every person with logic knows this is wrong. Graphics are a selling point for games, not the hardware, this has been proven time and time again. Although captain_tom apparently doesn't get it.

This is what annoys me about Reggie and perhaps Nintendo as well (and some fans to boot). At E3 Reggie was basically ticking off boxes like "Core third party games" "Online" "HD Graphics" ect and whilst yes Nintendo have made efforts in all those areas (and with third parties it's not all their fault) they've put little to no effort into it and expected the core to gobble it up, it was just insulting listening to Reggie making out the WiiU resembled anything of a core gaming console and completely signifies how Nintendo do not get what core gamers loved about PS360.

I don't like Reggie, but what did you expected him to say all this time? He has to sell the console. It's the same as MS trying to make DRM good, or Sony trying to make the Vita more appealing.
PR is PR, and should never been taking seriously in most cases.

I realise Nintendo hasn't made his job easy given WiiU has no clear demo grpahic other than Nintendo fans right now, but if anything they'd be better off trying to make it a casual hit. PR or not that's the vibe coming from Nintendo, they don't value or get the core and what it takes to appeal to them.
My point was that that attitude then trickles down and people start believing all Sony and MS machines have to offer is prettier graphics and that it's meaningless.
