I knew of three other console devs on here, but two of them asked for perma bans. The other one is still around but I always forget who he is. I don't know any of them outside of the forums though.

There was Nylevia and Frequency but who is this third one you speak off ?

Have you guys considered getting an xbox one dev kit ? That would be a good idea ...

It's a secret!

Also lol at getting an xbox one dev kit. You're so funny.

I wonder if you were referring to that doctor guy ...

This exactly. We will be able to tell a difference, it won't be huge though. Besides some more reflective floors I hardly see any difference in Ghosts, and AC Black Flag there seems to be more rain. (That's a comparison between the Wii U and XBone.)

Well if you're saying it shloob then it has to be true! Lol.

As long as Wii U games LOOK good to the masses and PLAYS good to the masses, Nintendo or any fan the Wii U should have absolutely NO worries whatsoever.

I saw a video on YouTube or some other site, Mario Kart 8 game play and from what I saw, the game PLAYED smooth (high frame rate), LOOKED sharp (clean visuals) and overall made me feel as though I'll need to buy a WiiU when that game is released because to me it LOOKS and PLAYS pretty solid.

Of course, I'll have to actually play the game FIRST before buying it to see if the game is even worth my time.

I have to roll my eyes at the "unconfirmed specs" of the PS4's RAM being questionable, but the somehow solid, concrete, "unconfirmed specs" of the Wii U being "proof"... hahaha

The alarming part is the poll results. They're both good and bad: the good is that it's clear the majority think that the Wii U has been slanted unfavorably by media and public perception; the bad is that the length of this thread says people will stubbornly refuse to accept the Wii U as part of the current gen alongside the PS4/XBox1.

The Wii U is here to stay, and will do what it does best: bring unique, high-quality games that don't cater to the modern "hardcore gamer", but instead the kid in all of us that forgets about what's "cool", and what "everyone else" is playing in favor of putting a smile and a sense of unbridled joy that comes from Nintendo's purebred creativity unaffected by the drive of profits in the modern business world.

The difference between the "unconfirmed specs" in the PS4 and WiiU is that the PS4 RAM spec is based on a single rumour. The WiiU spec rumours are based on hardware breakdowns (physical pics), inferences based on the knowledge of the architectures used and information garnered from hackers. Basically there are more information sources from which to make conclusions and even then the conclusions are still a "range" of specs unless Nintendo come out with the full truth (not going to happen).

@ bolded

You realise that everything Nintendo does is for profits? There's a good reason they iterate on Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, Mario etc. with every generation. It may align with your sense of fun but its not for everyone.

And that's something I just wrote about in a blog post later, that's not entirely correct.

Nintendo knows it needs money to survive, but a close look at a company's behavior patterns and statements can give you the underlying message.  Nintendo wants to just make games, they won't want to have to compete with Sony/Microsoft, they don't want to have to spend billions on hardware and graphics engines to lure "hardcore gamers" because it sells well, they don't even want to be mainstream (clearly).  Nintendo has success and they know a familiar face brings people back, but if there ever was a company that seemed the LEAST interested in doing things for money, it would be Nintendo.
