Both released earlier than competition, both had a good hardware for their year but was crushed by competition very soon (spec wise), both have somehow unique games that are not the top AAA games but make them look appealing in their own way, both have a strong cult status and both are commercial disasters. I would say Wii u in some years, if the nx doesn't have backwards compatibility, will be a collectors item . |
Wii U didn't have good hardware for its year. Most third party games were equal or slightly worse compared to the PS3/360 counterparts because the Wii U's CPU. The tech inside is obviously better overall then last gen systems but not by a lot. Dreamcast wasn't just the most powerful amongst systems released 4 years prior, it was actually cutting edge for its a time and a clear generational leap over N64 and PS1.
Time will have to tell if Wii U attains cult status, I think it will but I doubt it will be remembered as fondly as the dreamcast because the Wii U's strength is mainly in the same titles we see every generation on Nintendo platforms. Above all though the Dreamcast never had a sequel.
