Forums - Nintendo - Cinemablend: Wii U Is Winning Next-Gen Gaming, Not Xbox One Or PS4

how dare you post a positive article about WiiU!?



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

Around the Network

One of the people (Drugs) commenting on the site brings forth an interesting argument, though I'm not sure of its value or relevancy.

"No the logic is intact they just omitted the fact that with the largest pre-order window in game console history, the PS4 and XB1 have actually been available for purchase since February. Thats 2 million consoles in ELEVEN MONTHS not under a month like you seem to be implying. By comparison the Wii U's pre-order window was right around two months and it sold over two million units in about 6 weeks. This is very relevant information and its sad that virtually no media outlets (including William Usher) have been including it in their reports. "

I'll also leave this here: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/



Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the libraries after the PS4/XBO have been out for at least a year. I don't remember the WiiU having a stellar launch lineup either.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

EDIT: Notice that I make no disparaging remark about the PS4 or XBO. Or the PS3, or the 360. I wouldn't, because I'm a real gamer - I consider gaming to be what matters. PS4 and XBO will get their top-rated games, in time. And Wii U will get more top-rated games, too. The console war absurdity needs to stop - we are all gamers, and whether you prefer the PS3, 360, Wii, PS4, XBO, WiiU, 3DS, PSV, PC, or any other system, you should be celebrating the broad range of options we have, and not outright attacking other systems and celebrating poor results.

If you call yourself a gamer, and engage in console wars, then you're lying to yourself, and to everyone else.

I would be far more willing to believe this if you hadn't posted a flamebait article from Cinemablend--who make their money by inciting that same bullshit, and are very blatantly doing it here.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

Ok i will go along with it, wii U is doing great compared to PS4 and XBONE.
It will be a great victory for sony and MS if they can surpass the mighty wii U, with a much weaker games library.

see how this just makes things much more worse for nintendo?



Haha so let me get this straight...The article is saying that the WiiU has more/better games and that you should buy one (which is odd in an article is it not?).

"What really matters is what console is best for you right now. The answer is clearly the Wii U. It's cheaper, it has a larger software library and its games are better."

The author also downplays the importance of the WiiUs headstart so make it seem like you don't need to worry about what games the PS4 or Xbox One will have in a year or so.

"Both the PS4 and Xbox One had strong launches and it's not inconceivable that they'll catch up to the Wii U in sales eventually. We don't know anything for certain yet, though."

Seriously? The PS4 is closing like a torpedo with the Xbox One not far behind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking a dig at the WiiU. I like the WiiU. But this article is little more than an advertisement.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Nsanity is Somini's evil twin  



 In this thread i learned that wii sports is the best game ever made it cause it sold A LOT, over 80 millions, and on the otherside, last of us was a crappy game, cuz it didnt sell even over 3,7 millions.

 

 Great logic there.

I find it somewhat funny that a lot of Nintendo fans have started using Metacritic as one of the main weapons in their arsenal now (metacritic has largely been employed by PS and Xbox fans in the e-penis wars, alongside framerate, resolution and hardware power differences that mean nothing) and that they are attacking the line-up's of two consoles that have less than a month on the market all the while still complaining about the Wii U's library in its first months.
Are Nintendo fans slowly melting into the middle along with other fans and using the same arguments?
There were also a bunch of articles on the PS3 when it got its ass beat, stating that it was the superior machine, the best alternative etc, this is no different and doesn't really mean much besides patting people on the back for a short while through supporting their bias.
