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

You really need to get with the program. And figure out what name calling is.

I bought a Wii U because it had a Zelda GamePad. Still waiting for something to play on it.

Yes, calling people silly must be polite in your world.



Pick up some of the other games on it. 

 

 

I said stop being silly. I didnt say he was a silly person.  Do you not know basic grammar?

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.


Wow, you need to look into computers more apparently. I'll price out and give links for similar specs as much as possible.

Mobo and APU. It's not possible to do a direct copy because they are so custom. So I chose the top A10 chip because it has the best graphics processing in the APU line but isn't as powerful as the one in the PS4, the CPU aspect of the chip would slap the crap out of the PS4 chip. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/BDL_6800K_F2A85MCSM $235

8 Gigs RAM DDR 3 2133 MHz (DDR 5 isn't avail on PC's only built in GPU's) http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX34251 $75

500 GB HDD http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX32586 $60

430watt power supply. Obviously the power supply in the PS4 isn't comparable by any means as it should have lower power consumption as consoles do so I chose a reasonable quality one that is inexpensive. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX41857 $50

Blu-ray http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX36022 $70

Tower (very basic, but usable)  http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX37673 $60

There you go. 500 bucks.

 

His exclusive list is not encompassing with any of the platforms.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Well, i haven't bought the WiiU yet. That there tells you that i'm an uninformed individual. Isn't that what you're ve been saying all this time? I'm sure my grammar would've been a lot better, had i been more informed.

Er that's not going to hit PS4 or XBONE levels. Consoles hit a lot higher than their PC equivalents.

There is absolutely nothing silly about Nintendos console not having proper third party in nearly twenty years on the main console. The handhelds are where they shine from all parties. To deny the truth is silly.

 It is hilarious yet scary how people compare the WiiU to everything else. NOTHING (as in major console - why do people compare it to a handheld? It's a totally different market) has sold this badly for this long before. The PS3 was never removed from stock, and we know bad sales for this long will end up a problem eg. the dreamcast...yet that shifted 10 million units in 2 years. The WiiU looks set to fall short of that my a long, long margin.

 

Why do people compare Console and Handhelds Hmmmm.? Oh yeah they both are gaming devices (made to play games so use phones as an excuse). It just seems your writing off WiiU as dead and their is no hope? Nintendo has been getting hate for years now, I heard same thing with 3DS, yes WiiU worse selling, Losing Retail Support/No third Party Support, but guess what Nintendo has...? Yes Exclusives that will sell no matter what, It has 3DS making a profit. WiiU isnt going nowhere, in a few years it'll sell 15-20mil+ and you'll compare it to ps4 sales cuz there isnt anything better to do right? People Who believe Nintendo Is done and out have another one coming to them, GCN/DS/3DS all did well nuff said. 

Handhelds and consoles are two different markets, lumping them together is the same as lumping every car together, eg family saloons, sports cars, super cars etc...which would be retarded. 

Oh I'm sorry, but at what point do you think I should write the WiiU off then? When its sales are a histroic low for a new console? Check. Shops stop stocking it? Check. When all of the above happen yet market conditions were perfect for it to thrive (and that is about to end)? Check. So yea, I think writing it off is in fact common sense at this point as all the evidence would back that up.

It's exlcusives will only sell to the hardcore nintendo gamer who unsurprisingly already owns the WiiU. Also that Nintendo gamer will tend to buy all the exlcuives rather than a set few as the library is so limited. Take racing games on the Wii. Mario Karts sold so well as that was about the only racing game on it. You didn't have the variety of the other consoles eg. Forza, GT, CM Rally etc. You just had that. Want an rpg? Well it is Zelda or...Zelda.

Also where the hell did you pull 15-20mill from? Thin air? Ah yup - that's the one. You have the facts on this very website yet you some how think its sales will magically quadruple when other consoles come out. That is just crazy.



Yeah Nintendo hasnt been getting all the games since the N64. That's well known. But they've always had enough to complement their lineup in the end(not enough to always deal with droughts but eh whatever)

But you do say alot of silly things Stage.
