my god man, I now get exactly what rol was on about when he said nintendo fans on this are mostly brainwashed.

Graphic adventure

While the Wii U tablet is far better than a standard gamepad for RTS and MMO games it is still no match for the mouse and keyboard. Especially for RTS anyone who has played a good RTS on PC would know that a touch screen will never be as good (Slower/Simpler RTS games like RUSE and HaloWars will work well enough tho) this video should tell you all you need to know why competitive RTS will always be better with K&M

The lack of a standard HDD will also hurt MMOs, FPS will still be better on M&K as well not that most gamers actually care about having the best they just care that it works hence why consoles with their relatively limited specs and controlls are so popular, and also why smart phone and tablet gaming with no buttons is so popular. People just don't care if a game would be better on another system they care if they can have fun playing games, so the advantages the Wii U will have over other consoles in many genres won't really matter. Not to mention most genres will play exactly the same as on other consoles just with a map or something on a sub screen you have to take your eyes off the play screen to see.

It needs games to dominate.
And I can't,at least yet, think of playing Ninja Gaiden 3 on WiiU.
Or any FPS game.

*SIGH*

Any person who, in any way, concedes the possibility that the Wii U will be less powerful than the PS3 (ON ANY LEVEL) is an absolute moron.

WOW!  Can you seriously say Nintendo and power(forget the magazine) gaming system in the same sentence and think that it applies?  Nintendo is all about price and profits(can't blame them), not about being the best or most powerful.  This has proven(Wii) that it can be a great system seller, because the general public buys what works for today, not what will still be the best 2 years down the road.  The WiiU will sell good to great because it can do what the other consoles can do today and it will be priced competitively and it will be NEW!

I'm not completely sure if your agreeing with my statement or not. But N64 and GameCube were both super powers during their generations and Nintendo sold both devices at a loss at launch (I thought they sold at a profit but in doing research find conflicting reports for both consoles). Problem is the high powered systems failed to make a dent and the lower powered systems like the drastically inferior PSOne and the less drastic but still majorly inferior PS2 managed to out sell their much more powerful competitors. lets also not forget GameBoy's victory over the vastly more powerful GameGear.

Graphical power really doesn't mean squat when it comes to winning a generation. It comes down to the games and gameplay and costs of development. Honestly making a PSOne game was so much cheaper then an N64 game so much cheaper that Nintendo really wasn't even capable of competing for third party support let alone Nintendo's troubled past with third parties. Then with GameCube the hardware was more expensive to develop for then PS2 and without online and several other features Nintendo lost a ton of multiplat titles from past big time supporters like Lucas Arts.

Fact is Nintendo can win the next generation without Nex-Box,PS4 level graphics. All they need is the games the exclusive content that can't be found on the competitors platforms. If Nintendo can offer MMO's and RTS and other genre's and experiances not found on PS4,Nex-Box then Nintendo yet again has a great chance at dominating the generation.

Graphical power does not translate into sales or profits!

You wanna qoute Rol about brainwashed Nintendo fans? Dude you need to go back and follow him from joining till today he is one of the most adiment Nintendo fans on the site. Though he doesn't agree with Nintendo's current policies he has very adiment views that Nintendo is best etc....etc...

I don't come to my conclusions based on a Nintendo is best ideology in fact I love Microsoft a shit load and even own all of Sony's consoles. This topic is talking about what the hardware namely the tablet, wiimotes and classic controller enable WiiU to do. Namely play every genre of games known to man all fairly competitively if not dominate.

Dominate? I think it will significantly worse than the Wii on near all accounts and talking about domination already seems far-fetched to me. Didn't people say the exact same thing about the PS3 before it launched?

in terms of interface yes the games would be handled very well on a controller like the U-pad and anyone who doesn't see this is blind. some people will never admit that Wii controls were better suited for FPS and these same people will say the same thing about Wii Us controller not being suited for many genres that are a perfect fit for it.

but the question is will developers support it or not this time? the Kinect is the best controller for dance game but is it the dominant one for dancing games? i don't know actually.

what i'm saying is a controller could be the best thing ever but it won't dominate if there is not enough support for it.

BTW how dare you say the Wii U will dominate! are you a fanboy or something!


that last part was a joke btw :P
