I consider myself a gamer and keep up with whats hot etc.

But I can honestly say I have no idea how the Wii U controller works...or what they even are trying to accomplish.

Take the Wii when that came out. It was pretty clear based on adverts what the Wii was and how it worked.

The Wii U....you see the advert pics...you barely even see the console. The big ass controller/tablet thing is the focus.

I myself would be pretty con...

Its amazing and disgusting how they rely on Mario, Zelda etc. Characters that we have played with for 20 years or so.

I am 40 years old...I have ZERO desire to play a mario or zelda game ever!

I feel they should have not launched so soon...come with a different name that didnt have Wii in the name...called it Nintendo (insert new name here) and had some games for launch.

And also had a game plan for more games. Form my understanding..as I do...

Although people will play lone wolf style....why are they advertising that you can play that way? (I know the answer...but when you make a game based on squads and team play...you promote ...lone wolf in your ad)

I may be wrong....but the one thing that struck me as a major problem.

was the NAME of the console.

The Wii U

It sounds like a add on for the Wii....not a whole new system. Nintendo for the most part has always named each system something different...gamecube, wii, nintendo 64 etc

To me they wanted to have that Wii name in it. But I bet you ask the average non gamer (the people who purchased the Wii) they probably would say t...

I agree 100% with your opinion.

I remember when the 360 launched. I had ZERO interest in getting it. I was happy with my xbox/PS2. There was still good games coming out for both systems.

Fast Forward.....I can honestly say Im ready for new systems...it has been a long 8 years. GTA5 just releasing is keeping me playing current gen. But there is nothing else out I want.

BUT I do want to play BF4 on next gen....64 players is very appealing to me...

Im getting X1 first...PS4 down the road. Gamertag does influence my buying the X1 somewhat.

@DialgaMarine....your entitled to your opinion. But the notion that people will buy the cheaper option...I disagree.

People will BUY what they WANT!!!! $100 cheaper will not make me buy a PS4 first. I WANT a X1 so I will buy that first.

I say just get both ..like me and many others are doing!!! Get ALL the multis and exclusives! WIN WIN

All I know is that I was lucky to get a pre-order in for the XBOX One. I had the money saved for awhile and never pre-ordered.

There isnt any PS4 or XB1 available for pre-order...at least every where I looked it was SOLD OUT!!!!

Now being sold out doesnt mean that one has more then the other but it does mean that there is DEMAND for both systems. And that in my book is great!!!

This whole back and forth is pathetic. We are all gamers but this...

Saying as much....doesnt mean MORE.

I already pre-ordered mine...just recently when best buy opened up more pre-orders....

....as long as both systems sell well is all im concerned with!

It makes me wonder really....why do you care so much about what your NOT getting?

I own a HONDA sportbike...but I dont go into the BMW forums or similar bashing them saying HONDA is better.

Its just scary and entertaining this ..what are they called....fanboys!

I usually dont get into this whole back and forth my game for my preferred system looks better but I just SMH when I read...

"If quantum break were on ps4, it would probably look even better." AssDan

That takes the cake on things I have read. No matter what the XB1 puts out...your answer is....BUT it would be better on the PS4. Why are you even in this article commenting?

I bet when the PS4 and XB1 are out and this so called plus 50...

Here is the thing with COD.

For every 1 person that STOPs buying COD or gets tired of it. There is 1 or more to replace that person.

Think about it...as we get older we get tired of certain games...this case COD. But there are plenty of kids who age and get old enough to play the games we are tired of.

So I dont see COD sales dropping substantially. Wasnt the last COD there best selling one to date???

COD Ghost will sell grea...

I just realized something.

Why is he worrying about getting the crown or whatever it is.

COD sells a crapload EVERY year. Meaning in reality they are making more overall money then GTAV devs (Im just guessing)

Every year you make a game that sells like what 20 million plus....versus a game that comes every 5 years and games in between.

Money wise...id rather be in Activisions shows.

4505d ago 2 agree3 disagreeView comment

GTAV is at 23 million (vgchartz) after what 3 weeks.

I dont see COD Ghost taking back the crown. It will sell a lot....but GTA numbers....dont think so!

I will say out the gate both consoles (based on pre-orders) are sold out. I was lucky ( I think lol) to get a pre-order in last week.

But I can see some non-gamers (casuals) who jumped on the Wii....playing smartphone games.

But for US...meaning the ones who hit N4G. IGN, STFUandplay etc for game news etc....I dont see NONE of US....ever going tablet or smartphone only for our gaming needs.

I will use tablets and smartphones for things in th...

Yeah that gets soooooooo annoying.

How is a GUN OP???

Like say umm a shotgun at close range. Its SUPPOSED to kill at close range. But foolios well complain.

Every shooter....you go to forums and its (insert weapon) is OPed!!!

They have been making games for so long...sometimes I dont understand how they could not have weapon balancing etc down to a science.

I guess thats why im a mechanic/tech and they are de...

I once read that the reason 3rd party devs ain to make games the same on lets say (360/ps3) is that statistics showed that if on one system the game was significantly better that sales suffered on the lesser perceived GIMPED version.

So games like BF4 will be as close as possible.

I do understand why one would be upset if there system of choice COULD have gotten a better version graphically. But what can you do?? Your still getting a good/great game regardle...

Not sure but allot of things can be stored in the cloud. I dont know the number but they I believe bumped up the cloud storage significantly.

If you fill up 500g and need more space I guess your going to have to do like I do THIS gen...erase older games you dont play anymore.

Me...im never playing more then 2-3 games at any given time period. Like now....NBA2K14 and GTA5 is in heavy rotation.

Nothing really else out I want until next gen.

Exactly why would they show BF4 running on lets say x360 or PS3 at a show etc??

Show it in the best light. Yes there will be some who will buy it on consoles thinking they are going to get what they see in videos.

But for the informed such as myself...i NOT expecting PC type graphics on Xbone or PS4. Im expecting 64 player action. Good not great gfx. Smooth gameplay and lots and lots of FUN!!!!!!!!!

I had a blast playing BFBC2 on the PS3 and ...
