Wow. It's dead even. I'm waiting till E3, but I do like me some Nintendo games...

Oh, and, unless something changed recently, The Witness is also coming to PC and iOS.

There are many, many more PS4 games yet to be announced... but as it stands Wii U edges it in terms of games



Wii U currently, it's just what they showed this morning seemed decidedly average and expensive; I haven't got the income for that. No real evolution apart from graphical and Social (which I don't really care about anyway). If the best you can think of to show the world how great your console will be is 2 games we've known about for ages, and a port of a pretty poor Blizzard game, as well as a handful of sequels, then that's not great. I know that's what Nintendo did with the Wii U, and look where that took them.

Admittedly, there were some impressive features, and indeed some interesting new IP's, but nothing which particularly wowed me. This can change, of course.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Definitely the PS4. It's a true Next Gen console. Maybe when Nintendo brings the price of the Wii U down to about half of what it is right now they'll have something. But missing out on all the best third party games for the second gen in a row is really going to sting for them and their fans.

Huh? Have you seen X? Graphics look just as good, if not better then Killzone. I'm really surprised the graphical difference between Wii U and PS4 isn;t that big.

Half of $300 would be less then the current PS3, that would be ridiculous, everyone would buy a Wii U then.

Also Wii U looks to be doing better on third party games. It's got Watch Dogs, Mass Effect, Aliens, and I'm sure it will get more.

I just hope developers don't ignore Wii U. There is no reason why Destiny and GTA V can't be available on Wii U when they are also available on PS3/360/PS4/NextBox


X looks nowhere near as good as Killzone Shadowfall.  The buildings in Killzone Shadow Fall are reflective and have real time lighting effects.  You don't see that in X which only looks about on a par graphicswise with "The Last of Us".   Actually, I just took another look at the X trailer and one of the biggest differences that was the most readilly apparent to me was the paucity of the number of objects on the screen versus what there was in Killzone Shadow Fall.  The screens in Killzone Shadowfall were heavily populated with characters and actions.  In X you have some static seeming backgrounds and maybe a character or two and then one big monster, but that's about it.

I'm not really anymore impressed by that than I was some of the games Sony showed off at their Vita conference earlier this week.  

Well, that's the only way they're going to get Wii type numbers.

Not after both the 720 and PS4 come out and Next Gen really begins.  There's just no way to backwards port games from the true Next Gen systems to Wii U in ways that won't make the Wii U versions look like crap.  And having X86 Geared Architecture plus clockspeeds in the Terraflops (while Wii U doesn't have even one Terraflop) + 7 to 8X the Ram of Wii U means that PS4 and 720 will allow developers to push their dream projects in ways Wii U can't.

Uh... no. Did you see the draw distance in X? It was like a kilometer, and everything looked amazing up to that. Killzone rarely showed more then 200-300 meters away, as yea buildings are reflective, rock is not LOL.

TLoU looks nothing like X, nothing like it at all. Now you're just being insulting.

I won't argue which game looks better, X or Killzone, but the graphical difference between X and Killzone is small. Wii U really shows that it's a next gen platform, where Killzone looks like a PS3 Killzone on Steroids. This really WOWed me, and surprised me because I was expecting PS4 games to look noticably better then Wii U games, but they don't, at least not yet they don't.

Wii U is a true next gen platform, you're blind if you can't see that. Wii U is weaker then PS4, I don't argue that, but from what I've seen of X and Killzone, the difference between Wii U and PS4 looks less then the difference between PS2 and X-Box 1. If people don't develop for Wii U, it's not because of graphical differences.

I think X looks better then Killzone, almost all the surfaces in KZSF looked the same as in KZ3, the only real improvement was the detail and reflections of metalic objects, and maybe the number of stuff on screen. X compared to XenoBlade 1 is literally HD vs. SD, and X compared to KZSF is really hard to destinguish.

I'm 10X more excited for X than Killzone, but that doesn't mean I can't see that Killzone is much much better looking.  The texture quality, and amount of detail is far supperior to X.  Draw distance is better in X, but that's just cause it's an open world game where.  In Killzone there is no need to show you what's beyond your immediate vicinity, so the angles don't show you that.  Even if X was a linear game, it wouldn't really be as good on a technical level as Killzone. 

The gap between Killzone 3 and Killzone 4 will be smaller thn that between X and Killzone, but those low expectations won't last forever.  People will be comparing X to games like Deep Down, rather than Xenoblade. 

There is definitely a VERY clear difference between PS4 and WIi U games.  The difference may not be PS3-Wii difference, but it's bigger than PS2-X-Box.  Maybe Dreamcast-X-Box would be more apt, maybe even a little more.

The PS4's technical superiority is clear.  Nintendo is going to have to prove that their interface, meaning both OS and contoller, is a lot more friendly and can provide more unique experiences.

Ultimately, Ninteno's position is the same as it was on Tuesday.  They have not demonstrated the value of the Wii U effectively.  If they can do this, they'll succeed, if not they'll fail.  The system is more than capable of competing with the PS4 in the market place and even dominating it, but that's only if Nintendo can make the WIi U advantages shine.

Couldn't watch but did read up on it.

To all of those things - so what?  Yes the hardware and OS are better but it's all about the gameplay.  And I'd think some of those things could have been done on PS3 if they really wanted too through OS update.   There's some cool features but really, not enough to justify shelling out cash for a new console. 

The ps3 and 360 didnt do anything to be inovative in game play from last generation. The outcome Wii selling 100mil consoles and dropping off the face of the earth while ps360 has sold 150mil+ now. The consumers have spoken.

The Wii U has a tablet controller and is selling less than 11k a week in USA... the consumers have spoken.

Most people want solid gameplay. In fact, so many people contribute cross chat and online play to the biggest innovation in gameplay this generation. So in comparison how is sharing through social networking not considered innovation for game play?

Would you guys please stop combining PS3 and Xbox360 sales ONLY when it goes against the Wii. In so many threads you have a massive flamewar with PS3 sales vs Xbox360 sales, but as soon as it goes against the Wii the sales suddenly are combined :/

Face it: PS3 and Xbox360 failed to outsell the Wii.

Ps3 and 360 sales are seperate in those threads because they are direct competition fighting over the same demographic and section of the market. They are basically going head to head. Throw the Wii into the mix then you have 2 systems going for the same market vs a system that went off and did it's own thing. It makes perfect sense to compare side by side the ps360 to the Wii. Sorry you can't accept the fact that the market the wii went after burnt out so much quicker than the market ps360 went and are going after

Who says that? I'm fully aware the casuals are gone, my only point was that neither of them individually managed to reach the Wii's sales yet.



Wii U.

I want Mario, Monolith, Zelda, Retro and the other exclusives.



I'm leaning towards the WiiU cause the PS4 didn't wow me.
