I already said wait until the summer is over, Nintendo has thrown everything they got into this one event, while Sony had announcements at E3, Gamescom and they will have more at TGS (I don't think they'll have much at the Sep 1st. event). Also regarding the Wii, I went over to metacritic again, mainly because I wanted to make a list that goes down to 75 but I really can't be arsed, and no matter how I count it using your rules, I get 7 Wii exclusives with a 90+ score and 11 on PS3. So if we now adjust your table for that, we get to what I said from the beginning, they have a comparable number of worthwile exclusives. Also I never said the PS4 was a better secondary console, that was never my point, my point was that they can be equally good secondary consoles. Regarding the games, does it also mean nothing when WiLDs trailer is one of the most watched trailers to come out of Sonys Gamescom? Even ahead of the Bloodborne gameplay trailer? I told you were I draw the cut off line, if Sony or Nintendo publish it or feel it's worth to seperately announce it in one of their conferences/directs (outside of an indie reel) then I'll count it, that way I won't count trash like the Letter or something, simple as that. And don't go into the direction of who'd buy a console for this or what would sell more or less, cause that's not only something we'll have a hard time knowing with these digital titles, but it's also something that the PS4 is going to win most of the time. No Man's Sky could very well outsell several Wii U retail games put together for example and possibly sell more systems as well and if WiLD turns out as the thing it's supposed to be then that could too. And finally, just to make you happy, yes I admit at the moment it looks like the X1 is the worst choice. Happy now? Btw. it's ironic, I never said what my choice for a secondary system would be aside from the PS4 I'll eventually buy, it'd be a Wii U. That's because I really want to play the new Zelda though and not because its games are so different etc. Zelda could just as well be Gears and my secondary console of choice could have very well just been an X1, that's why I wondered why it's apparently so agreed upon that you don't buy an X1 with a PS4 or vice versa and that the Wii U is the best secondary system. |
Why wait? You made a thread stating why will WiiU be the best 2nd console to own over the next 4-5 years, I (with others) answered showing you raw figures why WiiU will be the best over the generation. Why make a thread only to get proven wrong, and then answer "wait." Why not just admit you were wrong, and that this thread was pointless.
Wii proved that under similar circumstances it was the best 2nd console to own. WiiU already has the most exclusives released, the most upcoming, and is announcing games at a higher rate then Sony is for PS4. There is no reason to think this will change, not now, and likely not in the future.
Now you're just being stubborn. You made a thread stating why is it better to own a WiiU as a 2nd console, and won't admit you were wrong.

Regarding Wild: So what that the trailer is more veiwed then Bloodborne? Do we rate games by hype/sales? If so then Nintendo wins hands down because stuff like Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Mario Party will outsell anything Sony has (except maybe GT, but MK will beat that).
Wild is still not a $70 retail game, people don't buy a $400 console for a $20 arcade game. Plus where would you draw the cut off? Wild might be good, but what about the other 130 arcade exclusives on WiiU? I bet Ps4 will have a bunch too, do they all deserve the same credit a full pledged retail game will have?

Regarding metacritic. I counted 8 because of Trilogy, which isn't really fair because Trilogy includes MP3. So it's 7 for Wii, 8 for PS3 (where are you getting 11?) Even so, because Wii has 4 more games at 80+ (31-27-23), it's still a better alternative then PS3.

You're OP asked why is the WiiU a better alterative then others, not is PS4 as good. I argued that and showed you that WiiU is already way ahead of the PS4 in terms of exclusives and that gap is growing. PS4 is comparable, I agree, and at the end of the day it's a matter of preference for the exclusives, but in terms of raw figures, I already showed you that WiiU is better.
If this isn't a good enough explanation, then you're just playing ignoarant....

As for your last point, you're just playing ignorant.......Almost every reply said it's a matter of preference, some people will buy an XB1 as a 2nd console for Gears of War. Not everyone likes Nintendo....or XB....or Sony. However if you're going to make an arguement over why it's generally agreed upon that WiiU makes a better preference, well most people won't be swayed by a single game or two. Nintendo offers the most (I have shown this many times), so unless you personally don't like Nintendo, WiiU makes the smartest 2nd console (or 1st).
Personally, I feel that PS4/WiiU make the best combo, and most people in this thread reflect that opinion. However some will prefer XB1/PS4, PC/WiiU, PC/PS4, etc. It's all a matter of preference.
Plus as a 2nd console, the $100 difference in price should also serve as a tie-breaker if one were to exist (WiiU is still > PS4, sorry )
I wasn't planning on typing so much....back to Bravely Default STUPID F**KING GRINDING!!!!
