Interesting read, makes me glad I'm a Nintendo gamer which makes buying a pc obselete. I know if I want to play a Wii U game, the only place I can do that is Wii U.

Sure, if you ONLY like the games Nintendo is offering, you don't have to waste any thoughts about which is the best platform for you to play the many many many good 3rd-party-games on.

But most people have a bit wider range of game interests and want to play some other popular and/or good games like Grand Theft Auto, The Witcher, Metal Gear Solid, Batman: Arkham Knight Star Wars Battlefront, FIFA, Madden, NBA, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Fallout, Wasteland Tomb Raider, Just Cause, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Metro, The Division, Rainbow Siege, DOOM, BioShock, Borderlands, Saint's Row, Dark Souls, Diablo, Dishonored, Hitman, Alien: Isolation, Ori, Rocket League, Half-Life, Portal, The Talos Principle, Minecraft, Life is Strange, the Telltale games... and these people have 3 choices to play most of these games: PC, PlayStation or Xbox.


You can hit pretty much all genre of games on Nintendo consoles, so a lack of variety isn't an issue.
  • Which open world western RPGs for Wii U can you recommend? Are they as good as The Witcher 3, Fallout 3 + NV + 4, Skyrim...?
  • Which open world action games for Wii U can you recommend? Are they as good as GTA IV + V, Saint's Row III + IV, Just Cause...?
  • Which stealth games for Wii U can you recommend? Are they as good as MGS V, Dishonored, Hitman, Alien: Isolation...?
  • Which sport games (soccer, american football, basketball) with up-to-date teams for Wii U can you recommend? Are they as good as FIFA + Madden?
  • Which open world FPS games for Wii U can you recommend? Are they as good as Far Cry 3 + 4?
  • ...

Don't kid yourself, there are many genres on Wii U lacking of good games. And most genres that have a good game don't really offer much alternatives/choices of similar games.

Open world western RPGs you got Mass Effect

Open world action games you have Assassin's Creed and Batman Arkham City, and Origins, Wind Waker HD, and the new upcoming LoZ

Stealth games you have Splinter Cell, Deus Ex, and Devil's Third

Sports games you got Fifa 2013, Madden NFL 2013, ESPN Sports connection, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (which is funny because you mentioned Fifa and Madden. With up to date teams isn't a genre).

Open world FPS games you got a point, but that's pretty rare on all systems. Minus the open world part and the Wii U has them. 

Looks like that hit pretty much all the genres. Why don't you try not to fool yourself.
