Look at the facts.If it is really slighty more powerful that the PS3 and this expensive contoller how can they keep at a competive prise.It has as powerful as the PS3 to be competive and it's still would be rather expensive.This cotroller is not very comfortable and I hope that casual gamers don't turn the Wii in to the succes so we Xbox 720/PS4 with this thing just like Wii brought Move and Kinect :(.Nitendo doesn't have online experience and this day online is a key in most games.Zelda and Mario HD would be cool,but can they save the console if they are at launch.And I don't get developers getting so excited about it.It doesn' matter if you can tweak things from your controller it would discract you from the game.

1000 is a bit harsh. But maybe 100?

500. This mess has no formatting, punctuation, or proper grammar. It makes me want to cry.

EDIT: I'm de-embedding the GIF and will link to it. It's not NSFW, but it could well be seizure-inducing :/

Kantor.

PS: I may as well warn you all of the fact that it's been quoted like a billion times, so get out of the thread if you are prone to said seizures.




Well excuse me Mr.Enlglish and I'm not from England and I'm 14,what do you expect me to know English perfectly?

This cotroller is not very comfortable and 3. I hope that casual gamers don't turn the Wii in to the succes so we Xbox 720/PS4 with this thing just like Wii brought Move and Kinect :(.4.

Look at the facts?  You don't have any.

1. We don't yet know just how powerful it will be.  But all current indicators suggest it will be more powerful.  And with equal resolutions, modern shader operations, exchangable art assets, exchangable game engines....it's set up for success by default.    Price is nto as high as you might think it is.  A full BOM of today's pricing puts it just north of $250 based on assumed hardware.   By the end of 2012, those prices will surely be even lower.

2.  All reports from E3 stated the controller was very comfortable to hold.

3.  You don't Sony and MS enhancing the gaming experiences on their repsective consoles?

4. Technically, Nintendo was one of the first companies to take a console online to begin with.  The NES in Japan was capable of going online though not for gaming purposes.   However, they've already stated they will enlist the help of outside sources for their online services.  Current feedback from Ubisoft for Ghost Recon Online has been fantastic.  And Valve is now considering putting Steam on Wii U.

5.  I'm not even sure I understand your concern here.   How do you save a console that is not in danger and doesn't require saving?  

6.  Why shouldn't they be?  It's a brand new console from Nintendo that has the ability to appeal all gaming markets, is capable of handling current and future game engines and art assets, it creates a whole new way to expereince single and multi player gaming, and Nintendo is working hard to ensure developers will find success on it.

7.  This wasn't a major concern from those that tested the game demos at E3.  Nor does it seem to be a concern from 3rd parties putting massive support for it.

 

Do you have any other concerns I can debunk while I'm at it?

If it is really slighty more powerful than the PS3 and uses this expensive contoller, how can they keep at a competitive price? It has as powerful as the PS3 to be competive and it would still be rather expensive. This controller is not very comfortable and I hope that casual gamers don't turn the Wii in to the successor so we Xbox 720/PS4 with this thing just like Wii brought Move and Kinect :(.Nitendo doesn't have online experience and this day online is a key in most games.Zelda and Mario HD would be cool,but can they save the console if they are at launch.And I don't get developers getting so excited about it.It doesn' matter if you can tweak things from your controller it would discract you from the game.

Gave up correcting it about halfway.

Slightly more powerful than PS3? The PS3 uses a PowerPC processor clocked at 3.2GHz and has a Nvidia 8800GT graphics card under the hood. The Xbox 360 also has a similar processor and an ATi x1950 card powering it. The WiiU uses a custom Radeon HD 4850 graphics card and reportedly a quad-core IBM processor. I think. But the graphics card alone is about 5 generations better than the "powerful graphics" of PS3 and 360.

Have you held the controller? No, probably not. According to E3 attendees, it felt about as light as an Xbox 360 controller, which is pretty fucking light.

Nintendo has plenty of online experience. Mario Kart Wii online is pretty smooth and lag free. And their download service is unparalled in the amount of old school games you can download. A lot of them are actually good too. The only problem Nintendo has ever had was with friend codes. And NOA CEO Reggie Fils-Aime himself said they were not going to be apart of WiiU's online infrastructure. Zelda will not be launching with WiiU, Mario is a strong possibility. He's overdue by a couple of generations.

Developers are getting excited because we have never seen anything like this integrated with a console before. Nintendo tried it before with GameCube to Game Boy Advance connectivity but that crashed and burned because you needed to buy both systems, plus a cable, plus a compatible game. Cool idea, but much better when it's integrated into the system from the start. And lots of things can distract one from gaming. Like stupid achievement bubbles popping up or your fellow tool friends sending you a message when you are trying to play some fucking Burnout. Or having to always be online to play a game. That's what is really distracting. Not switching over to the tablet controller when someone wants to watch the news.

You're page says you are 21. I'm not from England either, and I type English pretty well.
