Well most ps360 games wasnt even 720p

Barely above 8 year old tech. Let's celebrate.


I'm confused.  Don't you already own a Wii U?


I do own a WiiU. Almost 6 months now, and with 11 games. I dont hate my Wii U, but I definately expected more. Im buying this game regardless, this and many others.

Its a mild annoyance even though Im very vocal about it here, particularly with people who act like 3rd party games being on par with 7th gen is some kind of "laziness" when its in fact the hardware itself. Confirmed over and over and over again but they keep insisting "laziness", as someone who likes 3rd party games and being a programer myself  I find such statements to be beyond infuriating and pathetically ignorant.

Also, I feel Nintendo fans should demand a bit more from Nintendo in the graphics department. Most are quick to come to its defense. None say, well guys its 2013 you could have done much much better.

I mean the tegra K1, a mobile chipset is ALREADY more powerful than the U (runs Trine 2 PC maxed out at 60fps where as the WiiU does 30fps).

"Graphics dont matter", it does when tablets and cellphones will be more powerful than a CONSOLE within a year. Add that with Nintendos failed attempts to recapture the casual audience and you have a serious problem on your hands. It does when the U is selling so poorly and has ZERO 3rd party support confirmed for 2015 and beyond cause its hardware CANT handle modern multiplatform releases.

Sony and MS fans have no problem criticising their parent company and demanding changes.  But Camp N almost worships Nintendo. As primarily a PC gamer I find this very confusing. Dont you want the best value for money? Dont you want more for less? Would more RAM really hurt you? Why are most of you all saying 720p is "fine". I know the tablet is expensive but look at what Sony crammed into the PS4 for what a $100 more. How can you be "fine" with that?

It's one of the reasons so many here and in general are waiting for/demand price cuts. Its why Amazon, Argos and several retailers sliced the price to 180 pounds  today. Because the base hardware is just NOT worth the amount of money Nintendo is asking for. Try and spin it anyway you want but thats the cold hard truth. The games are fine, great even, but the hardware is, for all intents and purposes, crap.

The funny part is despite all that the U will probably be my only 8th gen console. My PC which already beats the PS4 (and was GREAT value for money) will get everything else. Hopefully that puts my reactions into perspective.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
