Wii U is certain, but i cant have only it.
My doubt is to choose ps4 or xbox one (or pc)
now im inclined a little to xbox one. til 2015 i decide.

Seriously, the WIi U is a kids toy, just like the Gamecube, if you wanna play NIntendo games, then download a Gamecube or N64 emulator, it's basically the same games.  The Wii U isn't worth it. I'll hope it will sell below 30 million because that's their install base, nobody wants to play on a console that just offers first party outdated franchises, the Gamecube had a lot more third party support and even then people didn't like it.

Just go away if you're going to be a douche, man. It's not clever and no one cares.

No, seriously, it is a kids toy, Todd Howard from Bethedsa (who makes blockbusters every year) said the same thing a couple of years ago. that's why the Gamecube sold little too, because of no online server, little third party support and only first party games that in fact attracts the younger most, the Wii U basically have the same problems. I'm an adult and Nintendo games doesn't appeal/interest me, in fact many other adults have that feeling too. If Nintendo doesn't get their act together they are gonna end up like Sega, because they are losing money the same way Sega did with the Dreamcast.

Really, Nintendo needs to put more focus on having their specs on par with Sony and Microsoft. They don’t need to have all the same bells and whistles like plugging into live TV or even having Netflix, but they need to be capable of playing the same games that are on that latest consoles by Sony and Microsoft so they can get multiplatform/blockbuster games, and they need the simple, straightforward multiplayer functionality for people to play games together. I'd say fire Reggie, go third party or make a real next gen console with a real controller for people who actually have 2 eyes. Nintendo are making it harder and challenging for the developers to make games to a console where the demography is vastly different to the others with a console where you need 4 eyes to play a game and which is challenging to make games to that's why many developers and publishers are avoiding it.

Bold the parts that are blatent fanboyism with no real facts to support it.

It is challenging to make third party blockbusters to it, often when third parties make multiplatform games they don't spend all that much effort making their multiplatform games better on PS4 than Xbox One, because it really doesn't pay for them to do that, they're gonna make one version and kinda have some small tweaks that makes the PS4 version look better, but they're not gonna look or feel any different. So you're not gonna be any disappointed with an Xbox One, generally when the third parties then decides to port the game to consoles like Wii U or 3DS, they'd have to redo the game all the way from the beginning because of the hardware differences, they then select a less qualified studio to work on the game, that's why they often get delyed, cancelled or rushed and that's why the games gets bad, probably also because Nintendo aren't really third party friendly especailly with development tools. I remember during the Gamecube days that massive US companies like EA were forced to purchase retail hardware from Japan and reverse-engineer it in order to make their games.

Do you really think that just because a Mario game have just released on a console with no user base can compete with the new console launches? And that everybody will just rush out and buy a Wii U? Nobody will rush out to buy a Wii U, right now, right in the middle of the launch of Xbox One. it's only going to get worse within the next few hours when PS4 arrives in Europe.

It's fun to point out EA when people talk about Wii U 3rd party support because clearly a console lives and dies with EA support. Remember when EA proudly and exsessively supported the 3DO? That worked out well. Porting games from PS4/X1 will not be as hard as it has been in other generations. There have been generations where some consoles exclusively use triangle polygons and some exclusively use quadrangles. The ports were still made. The fact is most other major 3rd parties are making their multi-platform games for Wii U and will continue to.

Mario is not the only reason to buy a Wii U. There are dozens of other games and features that make the Wii U attractive to customers. Just as many reasons as the other two. It's pretty clear that you've never given Nintendo a chance. Maybe it's because you're too young to remember when they dominated the market. Who knows. I don't know you. But buying a Wii with a couple casual games and never playing it does not justify your crazy hatered for Nintendo.
