Your bias makes me sick. I recently bought a Wii U and can tell you from first hand experience (something you guys obviously lack) that this system definitely doesn't qualify as a seventh generation console.

Firstly, the controller. It's an outdated design with a touchscreen slapped on it.

Secondly, the operating system. It's slow as hell. You also have to install games, demos and applications after you downloaded them. If I download something on a console, it's obviously because I am going to use it. The download and install should happen simultaneously like on the Wii.

Thirdly, Nintendo Land. It's basically an updated version of Pacman Vs.

I don't get how anyone can honestly believe that the Wii U lives up to seventh generation standards. This is nothing more than a souped up sixth generation console. You delusional folks will have to deal with it. The Wii U is a sixth generation console, albeit a powerful one. But it still belongs to the same group as the DC, PS2, GC, Xbox, 360 and PS3.

Can you tell me what these "seventh generation standards" are and how exactly you came across them?

Wait so Nintendo Land determines if the system is a next generation system? Oh and also, I'm pretty sure at the 360 and PS3 launch they had their own software issues themselves Nintendo said they're working on the loading times. Disagree. Plus, I don't judge my consoles by the tech/ software. I judge it by when there is a successor to a older console.

pokoko we don't often see eye to eye but in this particular instance you are the man.

Rol, you always find a way to flip my expectations for a thread on their head and provide a few good laughs.

it's a well known fact that the supposed giants in shadow of the colosus aren't really giants, they are regular size, the main charators are just really small
