Forums - Gaming - Instead of buying 4BONE, why not buy a Wii U this holiday?

Funny how this thread turned into Nintendo gamers literally getting frustrated that people here don't want a Wii U, pretty sad.

lol im not sure if this is actually a serious topic.
"Take a look at retail exclusives by the end of the year. I think it's obvious who wins."
The fact that you have to compare a years of exclusives of the wiiU which launched ages ago to a couple of months exclusives on the PS4 which isnt even released yet, says it all.
every nintendo developer has had enough time to release an exlucisve for the wiiU, you cant say the same about the PS4. tons of developers still havent announced what their making for PS4 so if you cant wait, then go ahead and get a wiiU.

"Now let's look at price. Wii U wins again."
how? the price to hardware ratio is miles better on the PS4. the WiU is too costly for what its capable of.

"What about the multiplat games though? Everyone's a winner."
no because the wiiU gets watered down versions of multiplatforms which will look 5x better on Xb and PS just like all the multiplatforms did on wii/x360/ps3.
and the online services (XBL/PSN) is better than what nintendo are offering.

"So if you are planning to buy a PS4 or XBONE at launch, why aren't you getting a Wii U instead?"
because I'd rather finish all the PS3 games I have left until I get a PS4.

other reasons why I'd get the PS4
- I dont have to play a game using a brick as a controller, which thanks to nintendo I dont have to pay extra for....but I do have to pay extra for a wii U 'pro' controller (I wonder why they called it 'pro'... hmmmm...)
- third party developers wont avoid it for being too weak like the wii U
- sony wont leave the generation early and launch a weak next gen console like nintendo definately will.
- When PS5 does comes out, PS4 will still be supported
- playstation plus

"Every Nintendo developer has had enough time to release an exclusive"?

Can anyone else point out the flaws in this one?

Now let's look at price. Wii U wins again.

Wii U PS4 XBONE
$299 $399 $499

What about the multiplat games though? Everyone's a winner.

Game Wii U PS4 XBONE
Call of Duty Ghosts X X X
Assassin's Creed 4 X X X
Watchdogs X X X
Battlefield 4   X X
Batman Arkham Origins X***    

But what about the graphics?

Wii U PS4 XBONE

Great graphics
A lot better than current gen

Great Graphics
A lot better than current gen

Great Graphics
A lot better than current gen

Factor in the Wii U gamepad being included at no additional cost, and the Wii U is by far the best buy this holiday.

So if you are planning to buy a PS4 or XBONE at launch, why aren't you getting a Wii U instead?

 

 

*Also available on 3DS

**Remake

***Lacking multiplayer

Because I want next gen features and a console that will last 4 years...not one where people are asking if it will last 6 months.

Also to say that the WiiU has next gen graphics is a flat out lie and you know it. It does not support all dx 11 features and the memory pool is too small to be next gen.

The hyperbole here is making my head hurt.

Ring of Dead and Ylod are more than enough to ignore both, MS ond Sony consoles for the next years. The boring and same lineup + cross-gen for the new twins for the next years isn´t actually enticing either.


In all fairness, buying launch is always a risk.  I just got my Wii U back from repair, and Nintendo failed to transfer over my data, so I lost 21 games (retail, eshop + VC) worth of saves. This from the company known to be most "reliable" with HW.

Thread is literally filled with them, you're either in denial or purposely acting oblivious.

 

But I will say this, HappyDolphin's and the guy with the Trigun avy were really irrational in this topic, among others.

 

It's like you guys don't understand that alot of people enjoying playing games with their friends. Honestly, not a lot of people's friends have gaming PCs, not everyone is adept with a PC, where you have to deal with drivers, setting up big picture mode, finding appropriate settings, dealing with bugs and tons of Window's influenced errors and so forth.

 

A lot of people enjoy just putting in a disc and start playing their favorite games with their friends. Only one of my friends has a gaming PC, while around 10 have PS3 and Xbox 360's.  There's just something about gaming PC's that don't feel the same as consoles, honestly. What's worst is that you Nintendo fans make it seem like there's something wrong with anyone who doesn't buy a Wii U or call them fanboys and etc.

 

As someone who respects Nintendo's first party offerrings, it's ridiculous to conclude that everyone should like them. What's worse is that you guys insinuate that neither Microsoft or Sony's 1st party offerrings are worth getting 4bone over PC, and yet Nintendo's are, when Sony's 1st party had much better critical acclaim than Nintendo's. It's part of the reason why Nintendo fan's are unbearable with their belief that if a game is a 1st party title that isn't Nintendo's, it's crap by default.

I admit I haven't followed this thread closely. I thought it was purposfully designed to rile up Sony/MS fans or something, lol!

I always pictured these hardcore Nintendo fans pretty much like those anime fans who only go for Studio Ghibli productions and consider their output to be beyond godly and see themselves as superior to those peasants who go for, god forbid, Production IG, Gonzo, and the likes. Why would they be upset about people not going out of their way for the latest Studio Ghibli anime? Just saying;)

This guy is right. I dont understand people like OP saying " buy a PC over 4bone " and buy a Wii U over PC, that's not logic , there is a common myth about nintendo exclusive games quality , or about their number, some people tend to think because nintendo hasnt 3rd party support, it will get more or better exclusive games, but they're wrong. Wii has good exclusive games but not really much than PS3...



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Now its you who do not seem to understand the argument.   Simply answer this question.  Gun against your head, which console is more likely to get a R* game in the future? 

PC. Yes, you said console, but consoles are not all platforms for games.

I don't say WiiU is more likely, that you seem to construct out of my argument. I only say, it is not certain that it will come to both consoles (PS4/XBOne).
