1. a - No, you don't have to do any of that. That is just blatant ignorance. You don't have to have a monitor at all to use a desktop computer.

b - Tables, and you can sit on a sofa to use keyboard / mouse which I am doing right now.

c - Ok then, but admitting that you are biased doesn't give you the right to run around saying "Hey everybody, it's impossible to use an HDTV and a gamepad with a PC!" I mean did you say that and expect me not to correct you? Huge mistake.

2. a - That is about what you could spend to get a decent gaming computer.

b -Where did you get it? Alienware? Be more specific, you're obviously hiding something.

3. You can't report someone for that. lol

The Wii U might sell much less than the Wii and DS, but this doesn't automatically mean they will be last place. However, depending on how much less it sells compared to the Wii and DS, there is a greater chance they will be in third place.

You're right though, the Wii U is not anything new to the average consumer. Nintendo will have to rely on new and unique games tailored for the Wii U instead in order to draw in customers. This will help distract them from the fact that all they are playing is an iPad with buttons and a TV.

Who cares, all the Nintendo fans are gonna buy it, then the nutter's who have to buy everything that's new, then maybe a few casuals will buy it, I'm going between 40 to 50mil :)

I'm sorry but - what?

I'll just point out the most obvious reason why Microsoft WON'T be number 1 next gen - and probably NEVER will be: JAPAN.

Japan doesn't really have "control" over the consoles sales as much as America and Europe. It wouldn't matter if it sold poorly over there. As evidence from this gen.

I'm not sure Nintendo would just sit idly by and not retaliate with software if their marketshare was dwindling rapidly down to last place. When desperate these days, they drop Mario Karts and Galaxy-level games that sell above 5 or 10 million to push consoles again.

I do not see Sony having that, because they are disadvantaged from the get go due to Wii Ultra's headstart, and the (presumed) fact that cloud gaming will be the main feature they are promoting (even though it is in its infancy stage). They had DVD, they have BluRay, now what? Also, outside of Gran Turismo, God of War, and Uncharted (none of which reach out to children), how can they conjure a MEGA system seller? 3rd party software.

Winning is more guaranteed if Wii Ultra has none of that, but it would seem unconscionable to see that happening again with the way each console's power would be set up by that time.....

It's true that Japan don't sell as much units as Europe and America, but had the Xbox sold as much in Japan as PS3 and Wii has, they'd have sold somewhere around 75 million Xbox's... It's still not number 1, but it would be a clear lead over the PS3. They will always lag behing because of Japan.

This kind of threads is what makes gamrconnect go 'round.

You just proved yourself wrong.
