not for the wii u, the wii was dated just like the wii u but it's the first time that we play HD Nintendo games, still dated but it's a reall progression compared to the wii. the xbox one and ps4 are just like a new phone, very cool but then "okay". hopefully their exclusives are going to change my mindset.

Wait! What did I just read?

Now you've confused me a little. If you play PS4 and X1 then Wii U should look dated no matter if it's Mario HD. If it's graphics you're after, isn't games like Ryse, Drive Club, Killzone and The Order not good enough?

Even games like Second Son, Forza Horizon and Metal Gear Solid show a good leap from last gen.  GTAV PS4/X1 shows a big leap from it's last gen version.

Not sure how you can say that the Wii U give's you that "Next Gen Feeling" when it shows the same leap in graphics from PS3/360 to PS4/X1 and way way less impressive in the graphics department.

I'm comparing the wii u to the wii, I'm comparing the ps4 to the ps3. The wii u is dated, but thanks to that it's a big progression from the also dated wii (just like ps2 vs ps4). the ps3 was not dated, just like the ps4, and thanks to that, the progression is simple. I'm not praising or downgrading any hardware, just stating how I see those consoles.

I get what you're trying to say but wii hardware is slightly better than PS2 and Wii U is slightly better than PS3. It's not had a 2 gen leap as it's nowhere near the same hardware as PS4/X1. All 3 have had similar leaps in graphics. Wii U is a great little console and a good amount of power for it exclusives IP's that tend to be cartoony and colourful. The downside is that any 3rd party game will look dated against the PS4/X1.

Graphics aren't everything though, I do like good graphics but around 50% of the games I enjoy aren't dependent on eye melting visuals. I just found the point you made about graphics a bit strange
