Why is it that the Wii U can handle a solid 60fps but the PS4 and Xbox One can't?

This question isn't that serious, yet many people are in treating it as if it was. 

LOL. Exactly! I'm surprised I've sparked so much debate over that!


Irony is a bi-atch!

That's quite shining praise.

Now I wonder why the Wii U doesn't sell amazingly if there's such a "stellar line-up"... hmm...

One word:  Marketing.  Unitl they get that in order, sales will struggle.  Always.


I support your post 100%! Perception in this business is essential, the games will make them stay, but 1st you have to make them buy the console!

Love Nintendo, still among the best TV toy makers after all these years.

Look at Atari, SEGA, & Activision. Are they still as good as they used to be?

Even though it's expected, I'm still disappointed this turned into a typical PS4 Xbox One vs Wii U comment section, with like 2 comments about Captain Toad.


They can't stand seeing someone being positive about Nintendo's work. They always have to come and fill threads with their negativity.

Game looks beautiful, and that conclusion is very powerful. AAA developers were not at their best this year, their products created awful trends... Such a pitty, they can and have done much better.

Sega is still as good as ever.

Stealth trolling :p.

Why can't I have 720p and no AA on my PS4? It would look sooooo AMAZING!

Captain Toad isn't 720p with no AA.

My fault. I was thinking of Mario Kart 8.

"Captain Toad delivers a 1280x720 image with limited edge smoothing"

So Captain Toad is 720p with almost no AA. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Well, the game is playable on day one. That's a feat in this day and age lol. 

How many broken games (at launch) with 1080p and AA have we had this year? Let's see, Driveclub, the Crew, Assasins Creed: Unity, Watch Dogs, LittleBigPlanet 3, Halo: Master Chief Collection, etc. 

Now perhaps you'll understand why people praise Nintendo: for its smooth gameplay.

Going through the article and comments shots were fired at Sony and MS first, just saying.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I'm not going to defend those broken games but Id appreciate it if you grouped them by publisher, that kind of puts the OMG buggy games hype into perspective. Many publishers have released games that work just fine in 2014 so lets not act like there aren't any competent devs apart from Nintendo. Metro Redux [60fps], Far Cry 4, Wolfenstein [60fps], Dragon Age, Shadow of Mordor, Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes [60fps], Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn [60fps], The Last of Us Remastered [60fps], Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare [60fps], Guilty Gear EX and a bunch of others all worked fine on day one. The fact is buggy games are in the minority, the problem is that some of the most hyped games of 2014 were the ones with bugs, and all of those games were clearly rushed for the Holidays. I blame publisher greed rather than developer incompetence.

Whether they're in the minority or not, there were a lot of broken games at launch. Ubisoft succeeded with Far Cry 4 yes, but they failed with their other big games this year. Sony did great with The Last of Us Remastered (it would be a pretty big fail to mess up a remake), but failed with LBP3. So if I grouped them by publisher it would perhaps seem even worse. 

But yeah, obviously there are still developers with an almost impeccable track record. I like Naughty Dog, I like Santa Monica Studios, I like CD Projekt, Level-5, Good-Feel, Next Level Games, Platinum Games, etc.

Anyway, check out these reactions. Why do people that hate Nintendo so much bother to look up videos of Nintendo games? I never see Nintendo fans trolling PS/XBOX games on youtube. I thought Nintendo was supposed to be the kiddy console here...



"beauty in restraint"

That's pretty well-put.
