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.

1.Xbone does not have a better oniline service

2.You forgot about the fact you are paying for Live too, as well as other stuff like Netflix, for which you need to pay as well, so pay to pay. Yeah, completly better service

3.''Better games'' is subjective. Its not some sort of objective value. Besides, console is an investment. Nobody pays 400 or 500$ just to play launch titles

4. PC is a personal computer with many purposes, its not a closed dedicated piece of hardware like a console, it doesnt even have to be used for entertaiment at all. Its stupid to compare PC to any kind of electronic hardware really

The Wii U is fun and the tablet experience is much better than what's available by anyone else at the moment.

..exept for the actual tablets, of course.

  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).

Thats a fair point, altho the only reason Wii is backards compatible and the others arent is because Wii U is very outdated hardware by modern standards and thus its architecture is more compatible with the 7th gen hardware. PS4 and the xbone use more modern architecture that arent compatible with PS360
