PS4 and XBONE are in for the same drought as WiiU

Hahahahaha.

WiiU lanches without the ability to play 8th gen games, and doesn't showcase any graphical prowess over the much cheaper, and already established, PS3 and xbox.

Saying it is down to simply how many games are out is just wrong. People here are really clutching at straws trying to big up the WiiU.

Oh please, if anyone were to pull up an unlabelled graphical comparison between Wii U versions of a game and PS4 versions, I dare them to guess correctly.  The difference just isn't that big...  I was looking at the Assassins Creed one IGN had up and it was only when they had them side by side and only when it was a graphically intensive scene that you could see the difference.  

Wii U had a perfectly fine launch lineup, that wasn't its problem and never was, it had the best launch lineup in gaming history from any standpoint you look at it.  The problem with the Wii U was that it came into the scene with the stigma of being the successor to the Wii which many people labelled as the kiddy or old person console.  The console that abandoned the core gamer.  Thus word of mouth was terrible.  I remember going into the store to buy Zombi U and overhearing two people openly joking around about the Wii U being a bad console.
