Color me not surprised, PS4 is cheaper, smoother, smaller, and more powerful than it's weaker 500 dollar MS competitor and has quiet a lot more graphical potential than the Wii U at 100 dollars more, my problem is never with the hardware however, but the requirement to pay to play online really turns me off to the PS4 now. Will make final decision when I see TLoU2 reviews of course.


Don't forget to throw a game in there unless you are going to play a game called 1080P blank screen. Also don't forget to add $50 if you want to play online.

 

Also don't forget there is a $250 Wii U bundle that again, includes free online and a free game.

So reality is you are talking $250 vs $460 or even more. That is significant. It is almost double the price and is actually double if you plan to play online.

You get 3 free games in that extra 60$, you know. And if you get a bundle, you get 4 immediate games. Also, you get significalty more powerfull system, blu ray player, DVD player, 500GB of HDD, much superior online structure and better service, superior UI as well as superior OS. So yeah,...


and for an extra 40.00 (xbox one) you get a great piece of technology in Kinect, better online service and a better set of games than the ps4 has to offer at the moment.   You make a great point....but if we are going to keep going in that direction you might as well wait for a high end steam box or just get a gaming PC.

The Wii U is fun and the tablet experience is much better than what's available by anyone else at the moment.  It also has something neither the ps4 or the xbox one has and that's backward compatibility...i do like to play some of my older games.  I actually would have paid extra for my xbox one for a version that has backward compatibility built right in.  I might even have considered the ps4 if it actually had real backward compatibility...(none of that streaming crap...i can just imagine the bandwidth overage charges i would get assuming my connection could even keep up with the streaming...and thats assuming it could hit 1080p so consistently).

 

edit: I should mention i also like the fact that i can use all my remotes...because everything just works i was able to just sell my original wii and use that towards the price as well when i purchased the wii u. 

In the end we all like what we like...i personally did not have a preference....i had a wii, ps3 and 360 and will likely get a ps4 someday...just not anytime soon....the games it has that interest me are available on the other systems.
