As far as the Wii U GPU is concerned, it's much better than the 360. The problem is that it has a weaker CPU than the 360 and PS3.
Sessler is about on par for what passes for a gaming "journalist" nowadays, but it's nice to know he won't be around anymore.
No external storage support yet.
Kinda silly that none of the next-gen console have that yet.
Graphics don't hurt, unless too much time is spent on them.
A pretty looking game is nothing if the gameplay sucks.
You do know that what happens in GZ is not going to be in TPP right? So your going to wait a year or two after The Phantom Pain comes out just to get the GotY/Complete Collection edition?
Your choice, but it's kind of an odd one, unless you're really, really hurting for cash.
Hell, wait a a few more years after that and get the PS4 for even cheaper!!!
I bought Zone of the Enders just to play the MGS2 demo, which I did, over and over and over.
I'm fine paying $30 for GZ, it's likely to be better than most full priced games.
Is HDCP still an issue?
It works in some game, but in others it would not.
It's kind of sad that some people, like my step brother, refuse to play a great game because there's no character creation. He skipped over The Witcher 2 because of it.
I take it Marvel Heroes is safe from all this?
It's kinda like a 3D Dragon Ball Z: The Legend.
The demo is fun enough for me, I'll probably end up buying the game at some point.

Well, when a "professional" reviewer let's his opinion of a game get affected by the name of a trophy, it's pretty unprofessional and calls into question his mental stability.
I used to think he was okay until he got so bent out of shape over the name of a freaking trophy.
He can buzz off.
I liked that design the best, but they were slow as hell.
^This.
The western devs get A LOT of passes on everything, while some people just love to nitpick Japanese devs.
But, whatever, it's been this way for awhile now, not like it's going to change anytime soon.
What about Persona 4 Golden? Along with PSone Classics and a handful of excellent PSP games for it.

ABizzel1 said for the year, I would assume year-to-date sales would be a little lower than lifetime sales, no?
The PS4 and X1 have the spotlight on them right now, their sales will slow down a bit after next month, hopefully the Wii U can stay afloat, but it's looking really ugly right now.
Edit: Looks like I took to long to post, lol.
That's kind of Nintendo in a nutshell now.
The Gamecube scarred them. They played if really safe with the Wii by making it cheap and going after casuals day one and it caught on for a while.
I have no idea what happened with the Wii U, sure it was another safe bet by making it cheap, but then they threw in the table controller, and that's likely the reason they started selling them at a loss. It doesn't help that they named it the Wii U either, t...
Next E3 may be too little too late.
At this point they NEED to have something insanely huge in the pipeline, because right now the Wii U will be lucky if it ends up hitting Gamecube numbers, hell if the projected November numbers ring true it's hitting SUB DREAMCAST numbers.
Who the hell is going to buy a console that's granted no third party support? Nintendo games are great, but just that won't cut it anymore. Nintendo really needs to turn it around som...
I thought EA Sports MMA was a better game than the last THQ UFC game.
I think this will be fine.
