I was actually thinking like the next 2 holydays.

The Dreamcast was awesome. If the WiiU were to be the next Dreamcast, Nintendo would love that.

Of course, the Dreamcast when it launched was a cutting edge technological beast with many innovative features and abilities that paved the way for gaming today. Most notably of course, the VMU, online play right out of the box, and SegaNet.

From day one the Dreamcast offered incredible titles you wouldn't find anywhere else. Can't really say that for the WiiU. Most of its games are just ports of good games from other consoles. The WiiU has nothing the likes of Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, or NFL2k.

And that's an advantage it holds over the Wii-U. I know power isn't everything but the Wii-U just isn't really next gen from a performance perspective, something that the Dreamcast was.

Wii-U is 5 year old tech just like the Wii was 5 year old tech when it came out.
