Are you actually reading my posts? Because you're circling back to things I've already covered.

I touted what the industry had done prior to the WiiU's release. I was pointing out how strong the foundation for HD development already was when Nintendo released the WiiU, yet they've been slower to utilize it properly than those that started from scratch almost a decade ago. There's really no excuse for that. Even now, over 2 years since its release, Nintendo's lack of ambition continues to be highlighted by titles releasing on the PS3 and 360 (such as Dragon Age: Inquisition). It's not that expensive to match the ambition of 7th gen titles. Heck, many of Nintendo's Wii titles hit close to the mark, despite much weaker hardware.

I'm not sure what you mean by inconsistent expectations either, because my last post literally ends with me discussing people's disappointment towards the focus on cross gen titles on the PS4 and X1 (though fortunately that's changing rapidly). My overall expectations are certainly slightly different for them, since i'm expecting them to tread new ground rather than waiting for them to catch up to 7th gen standards, but I've hardly been quiet in my criticisms of the PS4 and X1's slower than expected pace.

Quality is really not relevant to this discussion. 3D World would have been just as good on the Wii. Pikmin 3 would have been just as good on the Wii. DK:TF would have been just as good on the Wii. NSMBU would have been just as good on the Wii. The list covers almost every WiiU title. XCX on the other hand would be dramatically limited by the Wii. Notice the difference? The former don't give the WiiU any reason to exist (outside of shiner visuals). The latter does. Unfortunately it's taken Nintendo 3 years to arrive at that point. I wish they'd have just supported the Wii for longer and released the WiiU when they were actually ready. It would likely be selling better than it is now.

Regardless, i'm going to end this discussion here. Your looping tells me you don't really have a way to dispute my disappointment about the WiiU's inability to justify its existence, which leads me to believe you actually can't. We shall simply have to agree to disagree ^^

No, nintendo was the fastest learner of hd development.

can you prove 3d world/pikmin... would be just as good on wii? As I previouly mentioned, with that logic you can say ps4/x1 games would be just as good on ps2.
