Who cares besides some "gamers" who need to reassure themselves that not having a Wii U is the "right thing" to do?

But reality can get funny - those touting and praising their XOne or PS4 for graphics fidelity will wake up soon as both are not capable to handle HD graphics AND next gen AI.

They already are ... 

Even more worse - within two years both will lag behind not only compared to entry level PCs but also compared to settop boxes.

FALSE! ... 

We all knew this from the beginning as neither Microsoft nor Sony are subsidizing as on previous generations. Fact is that if you'll get a good deal you can buy a PC with the same performance characteristics as a PS4 for the same money. The only downside is that the PCs box is much bigger and ugly.

FALSE! ... That will only be true 1 year later. 

Beginning with next year both NVidia and AMD will put GDDR On-Die !! This means 3-4 x Bandwidth increase. A never seen before jump in graphic fidelity. And both will introduce that within the middle-class segment of graphics cards.

FALSE! 

So a 399 US$ PC will then "run circles" around a PS4 and XOne. Expect Sony to have big losses as they can't cut costs that fast. Microsoft will give away free (!) licenses for their "Windows for Games" OS and monetarize on the build in App-Store.

FALSE!

Going back to present. I choose the Wii U because of the unique controllers and games which lead to unique experiences. No Xone, PS4 or PC can give me that now or in the coming years.

I wonder if the rest of the market thinks the same ... 

Thats why Nintendos Wii U will outlast Xone and PS4 by a far margin: the graphics are "good enough". I don't need self proclaimed "realistic" graphics as they don't do anything to gameplay.

If you mean outlast in terms of market presence the that is also very likely FALSE!

Nintendo will come up with new ways of "social" gameplay which will be only possible by using the GamePad.

Actually that would go to Bungie since Destiny is arguably the most social console game so far compared to what Nntendo is doing ... 

Big N will finally get it that every game NOT using or at least having an option to use the classic Wii controls didn't sell well... . So expect many future games to rely on WiiMote & Nunchuck again and Millions of Wii users "upgrading" to the Wii U.

You have much to learn it's not even funny ... You don't actually follow alot of high technology sites, now do you ? You could probably reduce spouting alot of drivel if you learned what was happening in the background. I suggest that you start looking at the semiconductor manufacturing industry to find some more info about the current situation ...
