It's the same reason the PS4 and Xbox One are different from one another.  The point is that Reggie is bashing the PS4 and Xbox One for having multiconsoles that are similar to one another why the Wii U has different games.  The only reason the Wii U has different games though is because it's marginally more powerful than the last gen consoles so just about every title on the system is a last gen port, minus the few hundred  third party titles and exclusives.

Reggie's just upset and has to get his licks in now, because holiday next year, both the Xbox One and PS4 are going to have more games than the Wii U.

 

Reggie is upset because of holiday next year? 

Come on. Already there are many more games on the XOne and PS4 available than on the Wii U. 

But that doesn't matter. Diversity of unique gameplay matters. And thats where the Wii U shines and will continue to shine.

And how exactly does the Wii-U itself "shine" there? None of the games use the gamepad in any notable way, all the games would be possible on other systems. Probably even on ps3 and x360 for the most part. So the unique gameplay doesn't come from the hardware but is purely software.

MiiVerse -> GamePad drawing (!!!)

Nintendoland -> GamePad, WiiMote & Nunchuck as FPS controller

Mario Kart 8 -> Steering Wheel

Wii U Fit -> Balance Board, Fit Meter

Super Mario World -> any Controller + GamePad

Art Academy -> GamePad drawing (!!! user drawings -> OMG !!!)

Wii Sports Club -> WiiMote+ . Best Tennis and Golf EVER !!

WindWaker HD -> GamePad used to switch between weapons (BIG advantage over the traditional controller) + Gyro-Controls in FP-mode

Wii U Panorama View -> GamePad immersion

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze -> horizontal WiiMote to feel like classic NES controller

 

Oh - and of course it can play the Wii software too - in case someone did miss some excellent titles:

 

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz -> WiiMote tilt-control at its best. 

Red Steel 2 -> FPS and sword fighting

Zelda Skyward Sword -> 2D sword fighting, FP flight steering

Wii Sports Resort -> WiiMote+ as its best: bow shooting, wave racing, etc.

Excite Truck -> WiiMote as NES Controller with motion controlls

Donkey Kong Country Returns -> WiiMote as NES controller with shaking (BIG difference than pushing a button...)

007 GoldenEye -> Wii Zapper

 

and last but not least, the KING of FPS controls:

Metroid Prime -> WiiMote and Nunchuck at its finest. Nothing beats this immersion

 

 

With the release of Amiibo the user interaction just expands further... .

there is a huge difference with the Wii U, and that difference is NO ONE WANTS IT!

What a brilliant statement Reggie. You just said it, sit in your throne and wait for the world to burn.

OP: Agree with Reggie, although Wii U is also a boring console so far.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Wii U is a good secondary console but could never use it as my primary gaming console.

LOL..  "Except for the exclusives"...  The whole point of it is the exclusives. It's a differentiated product because nearly the entire games lineup is unique to that system.

It's the same reason the PS4 and Xbox One are different from one another.  The point is that Reggie is bashing the PS4 and Xbox One for having multiconsoles that are similar to one another why the Wii U has different games.  The only reason the Wii U has different games though is because it's marginally more powerful than the last gen consoles so just about every title on the system is a last gen port, minus the few hundred  third party titles and exclusives.

Outside of launch window the Wiiu is primarily an exclusive console. Wheras with Xbox one and PS4 they are primarily running the same software. And even when they have exclusives it's largely similar gameplay experiences. Fortza versus drive club, Uncharted versus Tomb Raider, Killzone versus Halo. With Nintnedo you are getting many more exclusives and they are largely a different gameplay type of experience. Bayonetta, Wonderfull 101, Mario Kart, Mario 3d World, Splatoon, are a different gameplay type of experience. I don't know why people have such a hard time excepting this. It's the truth and there are advantages and disadvantages associated with it but it's a reality.  I guess people just have a hard time accepting that they are missing out on anything by going with only one console. It's the whole justifying a purchase thing.

Not sure what people even mean by that. Whatever system i'm using at the time is my primary system. It's about playing great games. When I play my PC it's my primary system and ditto with my wiiu and PS4. Each system I own offers something great.

You mean like how each different Nintendo console has largely similar experiences?  Mario Kart Wii vs MK7 vs MK8.  Mario Party 8 vs Mario Party 9 vs Mario Party 10.  New Super Mario Bros, vs NSMB Wii vs NSMB 2 vs NSMB U.

This gen you're getting more exclusives with different gameplay right now.  The Wii U has been out for two years after all, and Sony no matter the console is slow to get on the ball.  Compare the Wii to the PS3 last gen.  The PS3 exclusives last gen had the widest variety of gameplay compared to the other two consoles.  You had games with various gameplay stytles.  The PS4 already has a wide variety of "exclusives" though already released, or release in the near future.  Exclusives you just happened to ignore in your small list of "versus" comparison.

It's not about what i'm getting. I don't care.  I own a ps4, pc, and wiiu.I just see value in Nintnedo consoles and always have because they've always had a lot of really good exclusive games.  And it's also not just about variety. I like playing games that are at the very least really good. Mediocre games don't count and might as well not even exist. The wii had a lot of great exclusive games and had a huge amount of variety in them. Including the best exclusive game of last gen according to review sites in Mario Galaxy 2. You can't tell me that Wii Sports, Xenoblade, Metroid Prime 3, Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy 3, Endless Ocean, Zack and Wiki, and Donkey Kong Country Returns don't represent quality and vareity. I know lots of folks are gonna jump on Wii Sports but the game was exciting the first few times you played it and innovative and free. And the wii is probably my least favorite Nintendo console of all time. The Wiiu is gonna end up being much more desirable for me. Nintendo is literally saving games and saving japenese devs right now by picking up games like Bayonetta 2 and giving Namco something to do rather then laying off folks. And yet for some reason people feel the need to attack Nintendo just because they want to be able to buy one console and block pretend that nothing else exists. I'm really surprised that folks aren't applauding Nintendo for what they're doing. They're keeping Japense devs from dying off with the 3ds and Wiiu and they are more and more moving towards the core market in gaming. Lets face it. If it wasn't for first party Nintendo there would basically be no market for a dedicated handheld and little to no market over the next few years for games like Bayonetta 2. If you had to make that game on a PS4 budget it wouldn't have been profitable which is why no publisher except Nintendo picked it up.
