Gamers: Are you more bored with your Wii U or PS4?

I bought a launch PS4 and for me, it was a mistake. Sony has taken a dump on what console gaming use to be IMO. I should have gotten a Wii-U and I'll probably sell my PS4 and do just that. Console gaming should be about buying a console and said console is all you have to pay for apart from games. There should be no annual fees for anything.

Right now, I'm playing Dreamcast and enjoying it a lot more than my PS4. Sad but true.

Surely you knew this before buying the PS4....Why would you still buy one knowing that you had to pay for online if you didn't want to?

I knew it, well, a portion of it anyway. I knew online play was going to be behind a wall but I expected PS Now to be a part of that service. Over all though, it's just not what I expected. The mandatory installs, streaming games to iPhones etc, it just seems like the spirit of PS1/PS2 has been lost on them. What made them so great was the fact that you could buy a box for $299.99, plug it in, and bam...you're good. Now it is something entirely different. 

Maybe that's the future of games. Maybe console gaming is dying and turning into a service war, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't like it. The whole "buy a box at launch and be good for the life cycle of the gen" is all but dead with the exception of Wii-U. And how long will Nintnedo protect that sort of thing with sales the way they are? It's just sad IMO.
