Can you still do launch-aligned comparisons? If so, how? If not, how long has that feature been gone?

It's kinda still there.  It is more user friendly now, but not nearly as powerful...

*facepalm* Where is "there"? 


*facepalm* LOOK!   Go to Vgchartz and click on hmmmmm... CHARTZ!

I went to the homepage and didn't see a "CHARTZ" button.  I tried "Charts" but it didn't take me to the tool I asked about, nor indeed any tool.  Your reply fails on every level. 

Also, did that really take you 3 days to come up with?

I have a life.  Sometimes I'm busy.  Did you really wait 3 days for me to respond?

Yes, in the sense that it took 3 days before I got your response.  No, in the sense that I went on with my life and didn't worry about it. 

I notice you still haven't answered the real question.  Are you admitting you were wrong and you don't have any idea whether VGC still has that tool?

I have to agree with one thing a poster posted above, the image quality on the Wii U controller screen isn't very good.

I really don't bother with much off-screen gameplay at all, because it's like you waited 7+ years for Nintendo to embrace HD, now that they finally have I'm not playing an ugly version of the game on a 6 inch SD resolution when my 1080p plasma is six feet away.

Can someone please answer me this.....When the PS4/720 sells 1/2 - 2/3 of what the WiiU has in the same time frame, will they be doomed as well??? Just wondering.

Yes ofcourse, the question is how big are the odds?

I would say at least 70/30 in favour of my prediction happening . Except when it happens as I have predicted, it will be spun as "high priced consoles" selling well during "economically rough times". Which they will be correct but will hopefully backtrack on their Wii U doomed statements that have been histerically flooding this site over the past few months.

We will see,  but if games like BF4/new COD release this holiday it shouldn't be that hard to do better than Wii U.

Not too sure about a half to two thirds of the Wii U sales but I can see the Wii U outselling the PS4 and 720 launches aligned.

And all of this 'Wii U is d00med' talk should be well and truly put to bed by the end of this year after the delayed software has been launched, Wind Waker HD has been launched, the inevitable price cut happens, 3D Mario and Mario Kart 8 are both launched. The Wii U should have an installed userbase over 10m before the end of the year imo.
