ehhh... perhaps you misunderstood what i wrote?!


Yes I read it. What difference does it make when the consoles came out? I do not get these comments.

I'd give up trying apply reasoning to hims comments. There is no logic to his saying that other than that its for Nintendo which automatically makes it bad in his book.

I've never seen him state a single good word about something relating to Nintendo with as much as he posts in this section.

Nah, your comment was spam bro. It has nothing to do really with what the article was saying, and it just felt like it was there to bash the WiiU.

Just being honest.

The difference is that if a console comes out 7 years after another, it should be "surpriningly" better. It's only normal to expect that.

Maybe you like crow? <_<   >_>

 

So basically their expectations were low and now they have been brought back up to normal. Yay! ^_^


Where are these low expectation comments coming from?

fine to read, really. though not too hard to accomplish better specs than current gen i hope this will lead to better 3rd-party-support for wiiu so that not only (or mostly) casuals buy the console.


Oh my goodness... This redundant statement. Its either "Haha, Wii U is weak!!!" or "hmm, well it is this date and these are this many years old and this that and the."

This is getting tiresome. No matter what NIntendo does they will find some angle to dismiss it. I bet you when the PS4 and Durango come out, nobody is going to be quoting dates to dismiss their improvments like they are doing to the Wii U.

Its actually really simple, the Wii U is not powerfull enough for most people to get excited for from a graphical standpoint, all of these articles suggesting that its a tad weaker, a tad stronger or excactly the same all point reaffirm this point. Its firmly attached to the the level of visuals be seeing for the last few years. It annoys me that most nintendo fan want to believe that everyone with something to say other then praise is automatically a nintendo hater, they are simply people with valid opinions; The Wii U is not cutting edge tech. Of course time is a consideration because what was cutting edge and impressive in 2008, no longer is in 2012. Thats how technology works.

I'm buying the Wii U at launch but I don't feel any need to pretend or delude myself into thinking thats its a graphical powerhouse that will usher in a new era of animation, lighting, physics, A.I etc. 

Until Nintendo shows Starwars 1313 or a game of the graphical quality running off the system, then we should all just except the fact the Wii U is simply a minor graphical improvement over the current gen consoles, similar to gamecube vs wii.

What fact? That's not a fact. Seriously what is wrong with you people? We just don't know yet so until more info comes out we're all just speculating.
