I always thought that it was one of the neat features of the Onlive streaming service. If I get a PS4 down the road I'll definetelly use that function a lot.

I always dreamt about showing my friends my 15 million (and above) points combos in tony hawk 4 for the PSX but I just enjoyed the awesomeness of such feat alone in my cave.

If weak specs console wins how come the weak specs hurt the wiiu
These guys who wrote this is on crack.

specs do matter. or we would still be playing games on the ps2. the thing is, being the most powerful isnt whats important. but providing a leap from the generation before is whats really matters. when looking at xbox and ps2 games of course xbox games games looked better. but it was obvious they were in the same generation. the WiiU on the other hand provides that are currently, worse than the consoles of the generation before it. and thats whats hurting it. its not providing something new. they want to open up new ways to play traditional games with the gamepad yet the technology they offer is outdated from the get go. 

WiiU will be the king of sales. It is just that consumers are waiting for confirmation that Nextbox and PS4 aren't actually weaker than the WiiU.

I don't understand why he like the light bar so much when its application might be a big down grade from using the current motion controllers, all though having full controls on a motion controller is a good thing it being stuck on a normal dual stick controller doesn't seem like it would work as well. Also, the share button is way better than what he is pointing it out to be. Live streaming will be highly used, I'm sure gamers will love joining in a gaming session with their friend to chat up about the latest game they are playing or even just using it as a way to catch up with them on the fly.

i just dont understand what this will bring that sixaxis didnt. yeah it might be more accurate but so? if im interested in anything its the function to see how far away from the tv your sitting, because they didnt mention why they are doing that yet, so they might have a surprise up their sleve

The massive, massive oversight they make is that a) the wii was not aimed at core gamers and b) the power difference between the consoles generally is very little. With the Wii U, PS4 etc aimed at the core, this makes a generation where the graphical difference will be staggeringly larger and certainly noticable.

I don't understand what it could offer that hasn't already been offered either. BUT ... If Sony are going to offer FULL BC through Gaikai at some point, wouldn't the controller have to be compatible too?

not for me.  I've had countless moments that I've wanted to show to my friends that we all laugh just from describing later.  Now my miracle sports wins, last second beating of GoW trials (literally had 0 seconds on the clock), and epic spontaneous Skyrim moments won't ever be lost.
