I would argue the complete opposite.
- People that say Nintendo's online is 2 generations behind have clearly never touched a WiiU. While it's not as good as the other 8th gen consoles, it's still better than any of the 7th gen console.
- For the 8th gen, Nintendo is currently sitting at close to 50million units sold. More than double all other 8th gen consoles combined. A year head start? Yes. But, 50 million will not be caught any time soon.
- For every 3rd party game that skips Nintendo, they get another 3rd or 1st party exclusive to make up for it.
- The 3DS is the only handheld dedicated gaming machine to survive the mobile surge.
- Mario Kart 8 has shown that the WiiU still has some fight left in it. We wont see a new Nintendo home console until late 2017. |
How so? Do enlighten us. Also "Survive" would be the exact word I would use for the 3DS. Although your kidding yourself if you think the next one will do as well...

Hows about you give me a few valid reasons to explain how the WiiU's online services are on par with 6th gen consoles before I tell you why it's not. Because "That's what I believe without ever trying it." is just trolling. The handheld market is shrinking, but it's not going to disappear. There's only room for one dedicated handheld console in the market now, and I think it's pretty clear who's going to take that spot.

Well my psp had 32 player games with dedicated servers, a unified online account that let me download stuff on multiple systems, and most games had voice chat. He'll I'm pretty sure the original xbox had all of these features too. So now your turn bud. Didn't expect me to have a well thought out response?

OK, so.. the PSP and Xbox had online matches, an account system, and voice chat?
Damn, I guess you're right. The WiiU only has:
- online matches / leaderboards
- account system
- voice chat
- video chat
- automatic game updates while console's off
- automatic firmware updates while console's off
- robust online store with catchy elevator music
- speedy web browser that can be used without closing game software
- exclusive social media service
- upload replay videos to youtube (mario kart 8)
- DLC, demos, trailer... etc etc etc..
Hells, even Pokemon X Y have voice chat.
Is it on par with the other 8th gen consoles? NO
Is it better than any 6th or 7th gen console? YES
Is claiming otherwise blatant trolling? YES

Please don't act like voice chat is standard lol because I know from experience it isn't. And no, I can't download my stuff on multiple systems. So what you didn't even answer anything I said. Maybe more games have voice chat than I thought but still their account system is F'd up and you don't have any online games that really show that the servers are better than the ones on the PS2.
It doesn't have:
-Trophies
-Save back-ups to the cloud
-Standard accounts accross multiple systems
-Party chat. I am not even talking about cross-game. I am talking about private chat rooms with 4-6 people. FYI:

So these are big features us modern people have grown accustumed to. You can talk it up all you want, but these were standards last gen that the Wii U is not meeting. So yeah it competes with the original Xbox...Which is also sold way better than the Wii U lol!
