| Badassbab said: My personal advice is quit console gaming and migrate to PC. It's what I've done over the past few years and it's definitely been worth it. Better graphics and performance by miles and you can use 360 controller for most third party games or map it using X-padder and also hook it up to your sound system and TV. This is the first gen I can think of where PC is already well ahead before the next gen is even out so consoles are really going to fall way behind this gen quickly. Games are a lot cheaper too. |
Outside of exclusives, I actually agree. The WiiU has enough exclusives I can't get anywhere else to purchase it. The other two, well we will see in a year, they both have some great games, but will they be worth $400-500 for a few exclusives? I hope those exclusives will make it into streaming services so I can avoid buying the consoles entirely. My next big purchase will be a livingroom steambox, build my own or buy I don't know yet. PC gaming is cheap and very interesting these days, steam, desura, and other services are great. I can build one with a basic APU (to get PS4/XB1 performance) for about the money of a next gen console and then upgrade it to a dedicated card later for even better performance. Plus I can install whatever I want on it without restrictions, like mods, my choice of OS, whatever other software would be great in the livingroom (XBMC, MythTV, Older console emulators, etc).
As to the original post, the WiiU was a great investment, I have not regretted it and I purchased mine day one. There have been some amazing games on it so far and right now there are tons coming out. The OS problems are fixed and it is running great. Even if you just stick to exclusives it is worth the money.
