So mario galaxy did a new thing. Cool. We've established that. Clearly hasn't translated that much because they just made another non-galaxy mario game. Can someone give me something the wiiU has done that's important to gaming? Or the wii honestly, besides mario galaxy. Because I can easily give several from the ps3, as I already have. 

Later platformers like Sonic Lost World, de Blob 2, and And Yet It Moves all took pages from the Mario Galaxy playbook.

Wii Sports started a genre that continues to this day in Kinect, Wii Party U, Just Dance, etc.

PS3 did comparatively little to change the overall landscape of gaming.

Uncharted starte the whole "cinematic" craze that they are still doing to this day, put Nolan North on the map, and was one of the first good cover based shooters. Give me another exclusive for sony. 

Lost world, and yet it moves both had mixed reviews. Most games on the kinnect are seen as gimmicky and lame. wii party U isn't really influenced by it as is more of a succesor to it made by the same publisher, and hasn't even broken a million sales. 

There were plenty of cinematic games before Uncharted, Gears did good cover earlier, and putting a voice actor on the map isn't significant in terms of impacting gaming.

If Kinect is seen as so lame, why has is sold around 20 million and become a key part of the Xbox One? And Wii Party U has sold to a sizeable 20% of its console base, will have crossed a million by now, and is strongly influenced by the Wii Sports template. Then of course there's Just Dance...

I never said that uncharted was the first cinematic game. I said it was the game that made cinematic games as huge as they are today. I also said that uncharted was one of the first. I acknoledge that Gears of war also did new things.  Tell me another exclusive, and I can tell you how it's more impactful than a few mediocre video games that copied it. 

Yes, kinnect is seen as very lame generally speaking. I've never seen anyone with a 360 use their kinnect for more than a few gimmicky things that couldn't be done with a controller just as easily. Kinnect integration with Xbox one has had HUGE backlash against microsoft this year. So good job, more crap about how the wii/wiiU has done hardly anything for gaming.
