resogun 1080p

I changed it too a better one :P



Over half the games listed on the wiiu have average to low reviews. Batman arkham origins is coming to all platforms. It would probably take at least $600-700 to build a ps4 like system, and that's low balling. Xbox one would probably be about $550-600. I could build a PC with similar or better performance than a wiiu for the same or less. A problem with your "great graphics, better than current gen" is very misleading. A Honda accord and Lamborghini both have far better performance than a model T. But that doesn't mean they perform that same. Possibly the worst post I've ever seen. You've also neglected multiple exclusives on both platforms. And it's also unfair to pin up all of the exclusives that wiiu has made over a year versus exclusives being made in a month. By that math. the xbox one and ps4 have way more exclusives per month they've been released.

Digital games don't count now? Is this a joke thread?

If someone is a fan of Nintendo games they'll get a WiiU. Otherwise if they're not and they want a PS4/XBO, why would they get a WiiU?

And STILL with the weak ass arguments "All PS4/XBO offer is Graphics!!!111!!"

Next Gen is all about seamless and immersive worlds and games. Right down to the system UI's. On every console(wiiu benefits from the dual screen interface, Xbone has Kinect, PS4 has the touchpad)


They're both media hub devices that are expensive.After all the things you end up buying. WiiU bleeds the wallet the least.

 

If people think the WiiU is as weak as a last gen console then lol. Its a GPGPU/CPU PowerPC hybrid with efficiency and preformance being the primary concern. The PS4 and Xbone are Jaguar Cores+GPU focused x86 architecture made to be acessible and easy to utilize.

Quite frankly it doesn't matter how powerful WiiU is, that's not entirely the reason it isn't going to get sustained third party support.

The rest, I think you're debating/arguing for sakes sake.

Does the Wii U have the AAA games I look forward to playing? Mainly.. GTA 5, LastofUs, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy 15, Kingdom Hearts 3, Battlefield 4, Dragon Age 3, Next Mass Effect, Witcher 3, any future games from Bethesda, any future games from Rockstar, any future games from Naughty Dog and etc...?

No? No thanks.

Which ones play Blu-Ray discs?


All of them


Can I play BD movies in my Wii U? Awesome!

 

I didn't know/hadn't tried.


Lol no sorry, gotta stay with Super HD Netflix. I was making a joke how the WiiU discs are blu-rays.


Oh - OK.

Please don't be offended if I don't laugh at your joke!


Don't worry, i thought it was in poor taste too, he knew what the poster meant.

Anyways, why can't some Nintendo fans fathom PS4, Xbone fans not wanting the WiiU? It's so useless to tell someone to get a PC, when they mention graphics as one of the reasons! Some people want to game ON consoles. Consoles, NOT PC's, with great graphics. Period.

Even if the WiiU was the strongest in specs, if it doesn't have enough third party support and you're not gaga over the Nintendo IP's, you still wouldn't want to purchase the console. It's just that simple.



Instead of buying 4bone why not buy an iPhone 5C this holiday?

Good post, people also throwing around "best exclusives" what does that even mean anymore? You either like Nintendos games (mainly platformers) or you don't. XBO and PS4 offer completely different genres of gaming and if someone is considering them it doesn't make sense to ask "Why not buy a WiiU this holiday"

If I wanted last gen graphics I would buy another PS3, which has so many more exclusives and better then Wii U

This is considered "last gen" to you?

Man you guys sure are hard to please.. well when it comes to graphics anyway, not so much when it comes to games.


I'm sad Nintendo is delivering us this stuff too early... Those Super Mario games look like from 2009 - 2010



The Bitch is back! And better then ever! #BritneyReturns

SONY Bring them BACK for PS4 and VITA!
