I still have to give you guys a serious review of my brand new WiiU (I'm somewhere in the middle of enjoying it a lot and, at the same time, thinking Nintendo jumped the gun a bit) but i've been too busy and am very tired right now.
Nonetheless I have just looked at the fresh chart in the first page and realised something I have not heard anyone saying around (and please forgive me if you have): they have just placed themselves right in the middle of the competition.
See, it is a bit more expensive than PS360, but it is newer and more powerful. AND it is not as powerful as the other 8th gen ones, but it is CHEAPER, has more games now, has solved many initial issues and is free to go.
It is an alternative (and a reasonably good one) to ANY of the other consoles. Ok, one might say NeoGeo was an alternative to SNes but bare with me a little: as a not so well informed customer, I get to a shop. The clerk shows me the options and by one side I have seven year old tech machines, even though cheaper, on the other I have brand new tech that is more expensive and comes with no games, AND, sitting right in between, the WiiU, which starts to show good value for money.
Sony and microsoft both have products that compete with the other ones from their own companies. The lack of support for Wii was a drag, but now it makes sense (for them, not me; I hated to be left with no options for so long).
