It's kind of tough to say. The PS4 and X1 will be competing with their predecessors in the early years while the Wii U isn't competing with anything.


Er whut? The Wii U will be competing with every other console on the market, just like those consoles will be competing with the rest.


Nintendo does it's own thing. When you compare the libraries of the next gen consoles, the Wii U has completely different games than the others. Nintendo relies on their first party games while Sony and Microsoft rely on third party games. If Nintendo was really trying to compete, they would have made the Wii U on par with the PS4 and X1.


That's just their strategy for dealing with the competition, being different.

You really think they're competing? When people talk about next gen consoles, they never mention the Wii U. Which is not out of disrespect. They'll make their console, and will bring out their usual first party games, and make a profit. We pretty much know what to expect out of Nintendo in terms of software. WIth Sony and Microsoft, we don't know what they'll do.



Of course they are competing. They all serve the same basic purpose and require you to buy them. By people you mean forum goers, and what they say doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. See Call of Duty. Lastly, we all know they're all gonna make many different types of video games. It's just a matter of if they'll appeal to you.

Im pretty sure he meant PS3/360/PS4/One all fight for the same demographic of 16-32 year old males that prefer shooters/racing/sports games while Wii U is moreso directed at Nintendo fans, kids, families


Sure, but they're all still video game consoles, so they're all competing with each other.

Thats absolutely true, I just think ur reading too much into his original comment. Hes not saying it in a derogatory manner, just stating that they appeal to different demographics. PS3/PS4/360/One will all be fighting for the same crowds money for the next couple years whilr if Nintendo plays there cards right can have an entire market to themselves



Naw, he's definitely saying they're not competing period.

The funny thing is I think the XBox One probably could have the deepest lineup for 2014.

It should have most/all of the third party games the PS4 gets (Final Fantasy XV, MGSV, Destiny, Battlefield 5, Madden NFL, Call of Duty, etc.) and Titanfall and perhaps .... a new Halo game ready for the fall?

MS tends to moneyhat games as well, ala Dead Rising 3, so they probably have some surprises waiting for 2014.

I see that now, its sad, I try sticking up for someone and they go and make an ass of themselves



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

But what games does the XO get that the PS4 won't and will they be enough to outweigh the PS4's exclusives? Even if it does have more exclusives, they'll have to be pretty significant ones to overcome that $100 gap. Also, were FFXV, MGSV, etc., confirmed to release next year?

Lol, some people are really voting for the WiiU?


Yep, problem? :3


Yeah. How can people think that the WiiU will sell better than the PS4?

I read enough to see that some people think that Mario Kart 8 and SSB4 are going to sell as much as their Wii counterparts.

I don't think Mario Kart 8 will sell anywhere close to Mario Kart Wii either.

MK Wii was the perfect bridge game for all those Wii Sports/Fit casuals that flooded in to the Wii, MK8 is not going to have the same boost IMO.

Plus I think MK Wii was "fresh" to a lot of people because of the steering wheel/motion gaming mechanic and the fact that a lot of people skipped the GameCube Mario Kart, because the GameCube simply wasn't popular enough of a console. So there was a long period for people's Mario Kart "apetite" to build up as it were (ditto for 2D Mario), a lot of people hadn't played Mario Kart since the N64 or even SNES days.

Mario Kart 8, having played it at E3, pretty much plays and feels exactly like MK Wii with a little bit of MK7 sprinkled in. It will still be a great game, but replicating MK Wii's success won't happen.

It's kinda the same problem I think Nintendo is running into with the New Super Mario Bros. series ... the first DS and Wii one put up monstrous numbers, but in part they felt really fresh for their time because a lot of people hadn't played a 2D Mario in ages. NSMB2 and NSMBU don't feel nearly as fresh because everyone just played NSMB/NSMB Wii a few years ago and the 3DS/Wii U aren't getting the Brain Training/Nintendogs/Wii Sports/Wii Fit traffic either.
