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.

fanboy article confirmed.

Haha, funny how this was the argument us Nintendo fans used 4 years ago.. Looks as if Sony and Nintendo fans have swapped stances on this once again.. how times have changed

If you think I'm from some PS360 base then you need to take a look at my sig.

I'm pretty sure sony fans did the same after that whole PS1 and N64 situation. 

Off-Topic: You do agree with me that SALES = QUALITY, right ? 

Then why do you even bother with PC gaming for the most part considering most of the games sell like shit! By that logic one could say Carnival Games Wii > majority of your PC library.

I believe the one thing that your forgetting to factor is is good marketing. Nintedo hit a home run last gen (especially for it's games) while Sony struck out. Now the roles are reversed. Terrible games can have great sales if the right marketing is done. We see it consistantly throughout the music/ movie industry.

The only, ONLY thing the Wii U has going for it is the 1 year start. That is what this entire article revolves around.

The games are superior in my opinion for the Wii U right now and at launch. Even so, look at the monster sales for the Xbox one and PS4. They both already made half of what the Wii U has sold up to now, in less than a month.

But sales don't mean everything, right? It's all about how many mario games you can put out in a year and Nintendo is winning that race.

The reality is the WiiU has absolutely brilliant games, Pikmin, MH3U, Zelda WW Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, NSMBU. The PS4 has Knack and Killzone, lol

 People citing sales forget the WiiU sold 3.06 million in its first month.

Doesn't that make it even sadder?  It hasn't done much after that.

It means ps4 selling on launch means next to nothing. Watch sales fall to Vita levels becuse it has no worthwhile games now or in the near future. Knack and Killzone (lol) next notable exclusive is Infamous not until March next year and no guarantee it will be good.

If wii u had such great software why does it continue to sell bad?
This console has absolute zero games that would entice me to even look at it much less buy the the thing...

The Wii won't win anything except a special place in its owners' hearts. Like the Gamecube did for me.

Why does Justin Beiber sell millions and many great artist go unrecognized?
