inFAMOUS isn't even close to being the same as QB. It's like saying Mario Kart - GT because in both you race.

General agreement with the overlap being a big factor, and Nintendo consoles also do generally have a bit more of a local multiplayer focus, with plenty of games that are really at their best when you play on the couch with friends. So, in my case, buying a WiiU as a secondary console will largely be because, when there's gaming parties to be had, that console will be taking the spotlight, whilst the PS4 largely remains neglected past; "Oh, let me show you this new PS4 thing real quick before we start!" Price might also be a factor, as when it comes to spending another chunk of money on another platform, it helps lower the barrier to entry a little if said chunk is smaller than what you spent on your primary console.

The only real reason I could think of NOT getting a WiiU as a secondary is if one actively, unequivocally dislikes or is uninterested in the types of titles Nintendo excels in.

Basically what everyone else is saying, XB1, PS4, and PC all have very similar libraries while most of the Wii U games you can't get anywhere else.

Best combo this gen is PS4 and Wii U imo because Sony Exclusives+Third Party+Nintendo Exclusives

This. Which is the most hilarious thing about the comment.

If you have a PS4 say, and like the exclusives so much, then surely XB1 (with so called similar exclusives) is more up your alley?? Why assume somebody that likes Uncharted and Gran Turismo will want Mario Kart and Mario ????

They're more likely interested in Sunset Overdrive and Halo.

well I can say the Xbox One offers virtually nothing different than the PS4 except for worse specs and a handful of exclusives

Wii U has completely original hardware and Nintendo is actually a game developer which releases solid titles

But hardly any games take advantage of the Gamepad, and the specs are even worse than XB1. XB1 also has as many solid titles/exclusives. Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Forza, Fable Legends, Halo, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising, Titanfall, ect.

You can't make any assumptions at all. Why assume they like Uncharted or GT at all? Maybe they bought a PS4 for Bloodborne, or MGSV, or for LBP3. Maybe they'd like to play Bayonetta and Zelda and Smash Bros and, yes, Kirby and Mario.

You can't generalize a gamer's tastes based purely on what consoles they own.

Because GT, Uncharted, and those types of multiplats sell the best on PS4.

Edit - and yes you can.

Wii U owners can get most of their third party games on PC. There's not much need for a PS4/Xbone, imo, unless you're bound to home console gaming. In which case, PS4 + Wii U suffices quite well. Xbone is very irrelevant.

PC + Wii U Master Race.

This is also a very interesting thing I see written a lot. Basically because PS4 is a bit more powerful with multiplats it makes XB1 irrelevant. Was PS3 irrelevant? No because it had awesome exclusives. Same as XB1.
