Wii U is certain, but i cant have only it.
My doubt is to choose ps4 or xbox one (or pc)
now im inclined a little to xbox one. til 2015 i decide.


Seriously, the WIi U is a kids toy, just like the Gamecube, if you wanna play NIntendo games, then download a Gamecube or N64 emulator, it's basically the same games.  The Wii U isn't worth it. I'll hope it will sell below 30 million because that's their install base, nobody wants to play on a console that just offers first party outdated franchises, the Gamecube had a lot more third party support and even then people didn't like it.


Mmhmm... 'first party outdated franchises' that are consistently some of the highest rated games of any generation. 

And just in case you fell on your head at some point:  ALL GAME CONSOLES ARE TOYS

Bulltshit, I didn't say anything like that, what I said is that Wii U is generally a kids toy, much more than Xbox and PS, don't try to deny that and just because they are high rated doesn't mean people wanna play them. Wii U is crap.

I see you know precisely what you're talking about. Strong arguments, and full on facts all around.



Buy all 3 consoles, they are all good and they will deliver the best gaming experience.

Just go away if you're going to be a douche, man. It's not clever and no one cares.

No, seriously, it is a kids toy, Todd Howard from Bethedsa (who makes blockbusters every year) said the same thing a couple of years ago. that's why the Gamecube sold little too, because of no online server, little third party support and only first party games that in fact attracts the younger most, the Wii U basically have the same problems. I'm an adult and Nintendo games doesn't appeal/interest me, in fact many other adults have that feeling too. If Nintendo doesn't get their act together they are gonna end up like Sega, because they are losing money the same way Sega did with the Dreamcast.

Really, Nintendo needs to put more focus on having their specs on par with Sony and Microsoft. They don’t need to have all the same bells and whistles like plugging into live TV or even having Netflix, but they need to be capable of playing the same games that are on that latest consoles by Sony and Microsoft so they can get multiplatform/blockbuster games, and they need the simple, straightforward multiplayer functionality for people to play games together. I'd say fire Reggie, go third party or make a real next gen console with a real controller for people who actually have 2 eyes. Nintendo are making it harder and challenging for the developers to make games to a console where the demography is vastly different to the others with a console where you need 4 eyes to play a game and which is challenging to make games to that's why many developers and publishers are avoiding it.


Bold the parts that are blatent fanboyism with no real facts to support it.

It is challenging to make third party blockbusters to it, often when third parties make multiplatform games they don't spend all that much effort making their multiplatform games better on PS4 than Xbox One, because it really doesn't pay for them to do that, they're gonna make one version and kinda have some small tweaks that makes the PS4 version look better, but they're not gonna look or feel any different. So you're not gonna be any disappointed with an Xbox One, generally when the third parties then decides to port the game to consoles like Wii U or 3DS, they'd have to redo the game all the way from the beginning because of the hardware differences, they then select a less qualified studio to work on the game, that's why they often get delyed, cancelled or rushed and that's why the games gets bad, probably also because Nintendo aren't really third party friendly especailly with development tools. I remember during the Gamecube days that massive US companies like EA were forced to purchase retail hardware from Japan and reverse-engineer it in order to make their games.

Do you really think that just because a Mario game have just released on a console with no user base can compete with the new console launches? And that everybody will just rush out and buy a Wii U? Nobody will rush out to buy a Wii U, right now, right in the middle of the launch of Xbox One. it's only going to get worse within the next few hours when PS4 arrives in Europe.

That was onyl ever true during the ps3 era.

Also im getting all three. 



I haven't had a game console since 2009 when my 360 came down with RLOD ( and I had to sell my original Playstation 60 GB in 2008). However, I have a snazzy new HDTV coming my way this Christmas, so I just made a list of the how and why I plan to get back into gaming.

First I plan to get the Xbox360 and I'm going willing to pay $250.00 for it because the $179.00 4GB Model is definitely not made for gaming, so I'll have to purchase the version with the 250GB HDD, and by the time I'm finally able to do so all of this week's spectacular Black Friday sales will be long gone. I'm going to get the Xbox 360 first even though I prefer Sony because it had almost all of the best versions of the best multi-platform games of the 7th gen.

As soon as possible after that I plan on buying a PS3 to finally enjoy all of the best console exclusive games of the 7th Gen ( unless they're all available on PS4 by the time I'll have the funds to get a new PS3, if they are I'll just jump to PS4.). I'm hoping that I won't have to pay any more than $200 for a Playstation 3 with a 250GB PS3.

If you're able to buy exceptional versions of all of the best PS3 games on PS4 in the very near future though, I'll skip buying a PS3 and go for PS4 instead. Out of all of the next Gen consoles, I plan to get the PS4 first because I think it's far and away the best pure gaming console out of all of them being cheaper than Xbox One and having by far the best tech for gaming under its hood. However, if Wii U drops its price to $199 during the next year and I haven't acquired a PS4 by the time of the Wii U's price drop, I might buy a Wii U before getting a PS4.

I like the looks of some of the distinctive indie games that I've seen advertised for Ouya, so I might buy an Ouya at some point since it only costs $99.00.

I plan to get the Xbox One last out of all of the Next Gen Consoles because of its prohibitive price point and because it's underpowered for games in comparison to PS4. I don't really care about all the incidental set top box qualities that the Xbone is trying to pride itself on.

I also made a list of the order that I would buy a handheld in. If I could acquire a nice android tablet for gaming for $100.00 I would probably do so as I've enjoyed several of the games I've downloaded from Google's Play store.

I don't think I'll try to get a 3DS until Nintendo gets the price down to $129.00. And I would purchase a Vita for $150 to $199.00 but only after I've acquired a new Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 ( or 4 ) and I would rather buy a first gen Vita than any other possible Vita model unless the only difference was a version with a larger screen size..

I´ve already decided, got a WiiU and will wait until price cuts to get the others.

Now now, if anyone is planning on buying one... I´d recommend to stick a little longer with the current gen and wait a few months

Agreed!! This holiday season might be the best time to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360 for cheap if you haven't own the competitors consoles. 

There so many exclusives that you would of missed out from last gen that you could keep yourself entertained till PS4 or Xbox One price cuts.

Or you could get a WiiU for only 250$ on black friday. There enough games out on the WiiU now that's its actually worth owning now.

Pros
Xone: nothing
PS4: nothing
WiiU: it's made by Nintendo

Cons
Xone: made by Microsoft
PS4: made by Sony
WiiU: nothing


All in all, I honestly find boring the three consoles. Xone and PS4 are just sequels of their predecessors in the same vein of COD annual iterations, and Wii U, well, what should I say that haven't said before.

Zero hype in my part for this gen.


Obviously since your stuck in last gen by only wanting a WiiU. haha
