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!

I'm all for a spirited debate, but here is where you cross the line from debating to trolling. Good day Sir.

It's not far wrong though. Wii U may be more powerful than the the original Xbox but is still missing plenty of features that are expected as standard from modern day consoles.


The Wii U online is what it is, it's not a technical issue ... the fact is Nintendo is a KIDS FIRST company, I know it's hard for a lot of people to accept that, but it's the truth. They will never embrace online the way Sony/MS do because there are too many problematic issues with kids being targeted by sickos on a kid-centric service. It has nothing to do with their hardware. 

Their brand rep is akin to the Walt Disney of gaming and they're not going to tarnish that with all the pitfalls that can come with online services so they keep it to a minimum.
