OG Xbox by leaps and bounds.
Xbox had a ton of amazing games. Halo Ce is still my favorite game currently. There were great experimental games on Xbox, such as: Bloodwake, steel battalion, & brute force. There were Sega games like Jet Set Radio Future, Otogi, & Shenmue II. Microsoft’s first party churned out effort after effort. You could tell their games, and system, had teams working overtime to make theirs the best they could be. Not all of their games were perfect, and some of them straight up sucked, but the ones that were good were once in a lifetime experiences. I’m glad i invested my time into it.
Wii U was one of the laziest periods in Nintendo history. I really enjoyed the system for the time, but other than touch features and semi-portability, WiiU didn’t create anything huge (Except Xenoblade). Everything was a port of something that was done before or could be played on a different console. I’ll say again, I loved the touch screen features. I also loved the web browser, Miiverse, tv remote. But the gameplay innovation/exclusivity was lazy.
I respect Nintendo for being fiscally responsible, and I consider Microsoft very wasteful, but as the consumer I got more of what I wanted from the OG Xbox.
