But the PS4 is region-free; the Wii U isn't...

There you go! That's the reason no one cares about Wii U. I knew someone would find it.

Suddenly Nintendo always being a generation behind in terms of features doesn't seem so bad now, does it?

Just imagine if the Wii U had specifications which allowed for easy and equal ports between it and the PS4/XO.

Would it have been a lock for winning the generation?


lock, probably not.  but i think it would have been a two horse race.

More power does not improve game sales. Publishers will still complain about their poorly handled ports selling like crap.

Great that it's BC. Because side no one wants any WiiU games they can stick to their old Wii games. The other 2 consoles may have put measures in place to turn people of but they still have games that people want to play. Anyone who's not a Wii fan and is switching to WiiU because of DRM or having to pay for PS+ will end up one very disappointed gamer. Like the PS3, WiiU may pick up but I'm calling what iI see at the moment.
