If you want the most cost effective way to have coverage of this gens quality games then the way to go is either Ps4/X1 + Wii U. Getting Ps4+X1 doesn't extend the variety of high quality gaming experiences you can buy. They effectively represent the same experience from the perspective of a gaming library.

The highlights of the Wii U library will never be avail anywhere else and based on history - its going to have the highest quality exclusives as nintendo is such a good developer. Anyone who cares about gaming is really missing out if they shut themselves out of Nintendo's library.

Bottom line - one console won't cover everything - not even close. But 2 should pretty much do it. So far - there's no compelling reason to buy all 3.

Not really.....

Nintendo is known for Platformers, Action/Adventure & Miscellaneous games (like Pikmin). You won't see platformers as good as Mario or Metroid on a non-Nintendo console.

Sony is known for Action Adventure & JRPG's. You won't see stuff like Uncharted or Ni No Kuni on other platforms (well not as much for the JRPG's)

Microsoft is known for shooters, you won't see stuff like Halo and Gears of War on other platforms.

I know you want to argue, but Forza = Gran Turismo and Halo = Killzone, well..... Metroid = Halo (single player), Mario = Ratchet & Clank/LBP, Zelda = Darksiders, etc

It all comes down to preference, if you don't like Mario, Metroid & Zelda then you might not like WiiU, but if you don't like Halo/Gears or Uncharted/Gran Turismo the same goes for XB1/PS4.

What I have shown in the pages before was that WiiU has the most. Since Sony and XB get a lot of 3rd party support they don't need to make as many exclusives, but Nintendo is a lone soldier, they really need stuff like Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros to boost sales.

P.S. Nintendo handhelds are laegely known for JRPG's and Platformers, very different crowd then the WiiU/consoles.


The Nintendo 3DS is king of JRPGs. Plus I'm pretty sure Ni No Kuni was on the DS.

Nevermind, I notice your P.S.
