I just can't believe the amount of people arguing & getting banned for this topic. There are many criticizing XB1 and their 1.2 TFLOPs (cloud not included, lol) for being "much weaker" than PS4's 1.84 TFLOPs...so tell me, why fuss over 176 or 320 or 500 or...whatever TFLOPS, if Nintendo is much weaker than the comp. regardless? Waste of energy IMO.
The bigger issue, is Nintendo failing to capitalize off of Wii's gaudy profits, and becoming more competitive in terms of power (AS IN, no degradation of performance for next gen 3rd party games). Nintendo is not trying to steal PS or MS fans, which is what it should have aimed for, after improving their brand name in the home console market with Wii's success. They squandered their 1 yr head start as true "next gen" system, instead offering performance closer to pS360, WITH A MORE EXPENSIVE PRICE on top. Big,big fail, and it showed since most ppl were not fooled. Only Ninty fans (like myself) bought in. So, once again, it will happily play 2nd fiddle/companion to PS4/XB1 (i say that b/c its "non threatening" to MS/Sony's product).
For this reason, I will stop buying Wii U 3rd party games at full price, once next gen begins, and instead, MAYBE, buy them when the price drops to $30 or lower. I will gladly pat Ninty on the head and continue buying their 1st party gems at launch, but if they want serious 3rd party support, then they cannot give us inferior versions. I honestly hope Nintendo learns their lesson in this regard...Power should NEVER be sacrificed.
